Not a knock on Cooper but he's not a HOFer.

Re: Michael Cooper elected to Naismith HOF
Greatest defender of his era. Multiple all-defensive teams. DPOY. Larry Bird nemesis.
Very good three point shooter, and underrated assist man.
5 rings, plus two more with the WNBA as coach, and a coach of the year award.
Finals MVP.
I’m obviously biased, but I think he merits.

Re: Michael Cooper elected to Naismith HOF
Another hugely forgotten player, which is understandable given how incredibly stacked (with all-time great individual AND team talent) the NBA was at the time.
Coop was a GOAT caliber Defender with five (5) "legit" Championship Rings, a perennial 6th MOY contender, and Mr. Reliable (missing only 33 games in 11 years, with 21 of those games coming in one season).
Coop is a well deserved addition to the HOF, considering many of the players currently in... and incidently, he'll become the 57th HOFER to go head-to-head against Jordan in the GOAT Era of the NBA.
Congrats Coop!

Literally just anyone now. How bout Kurt Rambis next. Maybe the bat Manu caught can get in someday
Re: Michael Cooper elected to Naismith HOF
Celtics and sixers fans are mad because he's 4-2 vs their teams in the finals.

I always thought that if Cooper didn’t make it to the NBA he’d always have a career as one of them actors you see in those “feed the africans” infomercial drives from the 80s where a kid eats for a year if I donate like 9 bucks to their charity.

At this point, there’s no justification to not allow Horry in.

Re: Michael Cooper elected to Naismith HOF
THIS is a Hall of Fame player from the 80-90s???
You never liked me, probably don't like me still, but a ***** liking me aint never paid my bills
Re: Michael Cooper elected to Naismith HOF
Upon further review, the Hall elected KC Jones as a player so it shouldn't be too much controversy about Coop getting in.
