When Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame chairman Jerry Colangelo called former Los Angeles Lakers Showtime-era legend Michael Cooper on April 1 this year to inform him he had made the Hall, the 1987 Defensive Player of the Year was convinced he might be the victim of an April Fool's Day Prank,

The Lakers' defensive specialist was more than that. "If we don’t have Coop, we don’t win those series," former Lakers teammate Byron Scott said of five titles.

Fox Sports’ Michael Irvin had some words on the matter. More specifically, the Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer compared Cooper to former Bills WR Stefon Diggs. And, he wasn’t comparing their play on the field. Everyone knows they can both play at a high level. He was comparing their personalities in the Bills’ locker room.
