Cooper: “My GOAT is Kareem.
· Yahoo Sports
Who is your GOAT? Cooper: “My GOAT is Kareem. He is an unstoppable player. You look at three things for a GOAT. One, can they score at any time at any point in the game? Kareem was unstoppable, even double or triple-teamed. If you triple-teamed Kobe, LeBron or Magic when they come across the floor, they’re going to pass the ball. But with Kareem, you couldn’t double or triple team him. He had the Skyhook. Next, a GOAT makes others around him better. Kareem made others better. No one other than Magic made others around them better when they were double or triple-teamed. For a GOAT, if you foul, will he make his free throws? Kareem shot in the 80s in crunch-time free-throw shooting. So that’s why Kareem is my GOAT.”
