And they said defensive players couldn’t shoot threes. This shows that I played BOTH ends of the court🔥@LakersNation
On this day in Lakers history, Michael Cooper (@ShowtimeCooper) torched the Celtics in the NBA Finals with a historic shooting performance from deep: lakersnation.com/this-day-in…

So excited to join @Hoophall 2024! Thanks to all my #showtimelakers teammates who have supported me!@MagicJohnson @kaj33 @SpencerHaywood @JamesWorthy42 @official_bscott
I don’t even know where to start! I tried to wait until Saturday…but I just can’t hold the news 😂 I’m so so thrilled that my Showtime running mate and one of my best friends Michael Cooper has been elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame!!
Coop is the greatest defensive player I’ve ever seen in the NBA - and I would know because I went up against him every single day in practice! His play on the offensive end was strong too. He was an excellent point guard and 3-point shooting threat. A lot of people may not know that he once held the record for the most 3-pointers in an NBA Finals game (with 6) before Steph Curry came along. He was mentally and physically tough, which made him such an amazing teammate. And I can’t forget about our special alley oops, aka the Coop-a-Loop! I loved throwing him those high lobs, which always sent the Forum into a frenzy!
I’m so happy for Michael, his wife Yvonne, and his kids for this well-deserved honor and Laker Nation should be ecstatic as well! Cookie and I can’t wait to support Coop at the Hall of Fame ceremony on August 17th.

Can't express my gratitude enough for all the support you have given me and our friendship @kaj33
Happy birthday Cap!!!
The thing that I remember most about @showtimecooper was the fact that he was always there .. and when I say that I mean that when it was a tough moment in a game, Michael Cooper was right in the middle of it. I could remember trying to guard Darrell Dawkins who was 280 pounds and a little nutty and he was trying to take me into the lane and crush me with a dunk but when he got up for the dunk, there was Michael Cooper …leaving his man and coming to help me. That team spirit endured all of Showtime and made it so that I had to be there for him and the rest of the team just like they were there for me.
Congratulations Coop .. Im proud and happy to be there for you as you get inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Aug 17th

It would be great to get into the @hof with my backcourt teammate and one of the greatest player to ever play this game. Hey E @MagicJohnson wanna meet me at Denny’s for breakfast 😂😂
If anybody deserves to be in the NBA Hall of Fame it’s definitely Michael Cooper who had a 12-year playing career, was Defensive Player of the Year in 1987, and was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team five times, and eight All-Defensive Teams overall. @ShowtimeCooper

🇸🇪 Nils Cooper is a name Euro hoops fans will familiarize with very soon
The Pepperdine signee brings a great blend of 2-way versatility & athleticism that helped him climb the '23 rankings. A further boost to a Swedish U18 NT with perimeter firepower + depth at the guard spots.

I feel so sorry for @cedricmaxwell81 comments because it is obvious he still haven’t removed that foot we put up that ass in the ‘80 😂 but I still love him but not the Celtics. And I hope he recognizes that a #Lakers beat down is on the horizon...
...and our #Celtics will send my brother ✊🏾 happy 65th tonight vs those damn #Lakers, just like in 1984 Coop-a-Loop. @ShowtimeCooper
