From 1951-1954, the Boston Celtics simultaneously had four players on their roster named Bob: Bob Brannum, Bob Cousy, Bob Donham, and Bob Harris. Going into the 54-55 season, they lost Harris and Donham, and picked up Bob Houbregs. By 55-56, they were down to one Bob (Cousy).
Other teams also had Bobs on their roster between 50-56: the Rochester Royals had Bob Davies and Bobby Wanzer; the Minneapolis Lakers had Bob Harrison, Bob Carney and Bobby Watson; the Philadelphia Warriors had Nelson Bobb and Bob Schafer; the Knicks had Bob Knight and Bob Peterson; Bob Lochmueller and Bob Lavoy were on the Syracuse Nationals; Bob Priddy and a pre-Celtics Bob Houbregs played for the Baltimore Bullets; Bob Feerick was on the Washington Capitols (which was a basketball team from 46-51); Bob Naber and Bob Lavoy were on the Indianapolis Olympians; Bob Carpenter played for the Tri-Cities Blackhawks.
The only team to rival the Celtics’ single year Bob percentage was the Milwaukee Hawks, who, in the 53-54 season, had Bob Harrison, Bob Lavoy, Bob Houbregs, and Bob Peterson.
Today, the NBA is completely Bob-free.
