Congrats, Mr. Cooper!! Well deserved and thanks for all the memories. The rings…. You being that lock down defender, solid shooter, heart of a champion as well as the father of, “The Coop a loop”… what more could be said, other than a classy guy. Peace to you, with the Biggest purple and gold salute.
As a die-hard Celtics fan, I have nothing but respect for Cooper. Totally and completely deserved! Coop is proof positive that impact cannot be measured by stats alone.
Congrats! I am very proud to have watched you play and very proud of you! Even though you did not play for my favorite team, I enjoyed your game. Thank you!
It's about damn time. I watched 90% of his career, and his defense, three point shooting, and his Coop-A-Loop were instrumental in helping the Lakers win all 5 titles in the 80's. If he scored a little more, he'd be considered the best 6th man ever! Congratulations Coop, now they will raise your number at Staples. Up with the other Laker greats, where you belong! #HighSocks21
Defense Counts! A lot of us lesser players growing up watched you and found a role on our HS teams because of you. Very proud to pattern my young game after you.
Congratulations, Michael! In case you haven't heard yet, you can have SEVERAL presenters at the Hall of Fame. If you want, you could have Magic, Worthy, Kareem, AND Jerry West. We will be there to see you inducted. Well deserved!
Very well spoken sir,And I've got a hunch they will all be there. I'm so happy he finally got in , he was one of my favorite Lakers although we as fans will not be able to be there we as fans will be watching.Congrats Mr.Cooper. Lakers for life..
Very well said sir, although we as fans will not be able to be there,we will be watching.One of my favorite show time Lakers.He should of been in a long time ago.But hey better late than never.Lakers for life!! And I'm sure they will all be there.
OMG, didn't hear about this. Coop is my favorite Laker of all time and always thought it would be awesome if he was HOF but didn't know if it would happen without any All Star games which is usually about points/game but glad his D got recognized. Chick's looking down smiling on you Coop!

Congratulations Coop you were for sure one of the best to have played the game. Defense is so underrated in basketball, but to people who understand the game, know you should have been there a long time ago. You were key to the laker success during your time there.

True. Ditto Norm Van Lier, Bobby Jones and Vinnie Johnson.
Yep and coming from a Celtics fan you have to respect the respect that you are giving him.Good on you coming from a life long Lakers fan..
