Facts! I know that the Lakers are very strict when it comes to retiring jerseys… but Coop was an important piece for FIVE championships, he’s one of the greatest 6th men ever, one of the GOAT perimeter defenders, 8x all-defensive (like you’ve said), won DPOY, at some point was running the offense when Magic went to the bench to get some rest, could pass the ball, he hustled all out, high energy great athlete, could shoot and developed into a very good spot-up 3pt shooter (without coming up in 3pt era), made some great clutch plays time and time again, spent his entire career (12 years) on the Lakers…………

Cooper will get into the NBA Hall of Fame and then the Lakers will retire #21. Coop was Mr 3 & D!!!! If Bobby Jones (76ers) is in the HOF, Coop will get there soon....Lakers will honor Cooper!

The art of storytelling..I could listen to this man tell stories for hours

You gotta remember that Kobe’s comfort and confidence came from playing with college and nba players all year long throughout high school.

Cooper wasn't no pushover even at 41, there are many KZread clips of Michael Cooper going up against all the greats(Magic, Bird, Jordan, Dr. J., any and every position other than Center Coop could guard. When he says he put it on Kobe he means it and when Jerry West said~"That's the One!"~everyone knew they had their next Great One in Kobe Bryant(RIP)little brother!!!

RIP to Kobe, it still hurts 💜💛💔

I can’t recall who the player was but a Hornets player says he was at one end of the court shooting around and Kobe was at the other on an afternoon leading up to the game. He says Kobe tells an arena employee that the basketball rim is off center, too low, or high. He says they measured it and sure enough it was. They asked Kobe how’d he know and he told them he was missing shots from spots on the floor that he don’t miss during warmups.

It’s a disgrace that his #21 isn’t retired by the Lakers

COOP is as professional as you can get from a basketball player. He recognized Magic’s greatness and molded himself to fit on the team. Reveled in his 6th man role and even made DPOY as a 6th! That’s fucking unheard of. I loved watching Cooper battle Larry and Jordan who both respected Coop. One of the OG 3&D guys and one of the best to do it!

Long Live Mamba 🙏🏽

RIP to a LEGEND PERIOD

Kobe was really born different

Underrated ? It was widely known that his post game was one of his biggest strengths especially later in his career

Cooper still doing good things in the game today,used to think"what"but had that game changer defense.

Kobe only play for one team he didn’t jump around team to team trying to find the easy way to win a championship he is a awesome player.

Cooper was one of my favorite players. He was a 3 and D player back in the 80’s.

41 vs 17!!! Come one. Prime Coop was guarding Jelly Bean Bryant!

Rip

Interesting story

Was Coop the only man to defend Larry Bird and Kobe? OH and as a lifelong Celtics fan, Coop definitely deserves to have his number retired. He was an original "3 and D" guy and would fit right into today's game.

Michael cooper sounds like Ice T

If you’re a laker fan you know coop is g14 classified to speak on anything Laker related

Still bothers me to this day of his passing. RipMamba

My opinion KOBE IS BETTER THAN MJ PERIOD IDENTICALLY PLAYS HIS WHOLE CAREER

Cool story man..

Even with the left kobe was wet!

What cooper was trying to say is Kobe demolished him

Kobe came in 1997 not early 90s
