I was born in 1980 so I didn't really get to see him play. I thought the documentary was great, it really put the history of the game in perspective. What did y'all think.

I read a article that Michael Cooper gets paid $1500 dollars every time that dunk Doc did on him gets aired
-
royalties from getting dunked on?

Yeah, that say it's copyrighted and everytime it airs he gets a check
I did manage a question. Holding back laughter -- maybe fear -- I asked him how many times he has seen that highlight. I expected him to shake his head and say, “Thousands, ? .” Or check my chin.
He didn’t answer. But he did let me in on a little secret.
"The funny part about it -- every time I see that, I get paid,” Cooper said.
I don’t know if he was leading me on or if he actually gets a royalty check each time the ad airs. Crown Royal has to license the footage from somewhere.
But Cooper repeated his claim later in the evening while emceeing the event. He joked with the crowd, saying I tried to clown him. He recounted our exchange, saying that he receives $1,500 every time it airs.
I was taken aback. Twice, Cooper had owned the moment. The Doctor’s butchered patient -- a stopper of the highest order, the guy Larry Bird called the best defender he ever faced -- was embracing his inclusion in maybe the most iconic poster dunk in basketball history.
Some people might be ashamed. Players today are told, “Don’t jump.” Brandon Knight and Jason Terry, victims of the two most heinous facials handed out this season (here and here), probably wish they had taken that advice.
Coop? Thirty years after the dunk, he’s taking it in stride.
As he should.
Michael Cooper is a Lakers icon. To those in the know, he is an NBA legend. But to many casual sports fans, he is just a guy who played with Magic, an afterthought who didn’t make the Showtime “big three” cut behind Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and James Worthy.
Through this dunk, however, he has become immortal. Whenever Dr. J is celebrated, the footage inevitably resurfaces. I must have seen the time Coop got dunked on thousands of times.
He never answered after I asked how many times he has seen it. But I’m guessing the years -- and maybe those $1,500 checks -- allow Cooper to enjoy The Doctor’s most famous dunk more now than he did in 1983, and more than any of us do today. -
Damn ...u can copyright everything

He was a defensive specialist.
Yea he played in one end of the court, but he's No different than Carmelo or Durant .who are both primarily offensive threats .
Are they role players???
There should be more defensive oriented guys on the All Star teams.
Like Ibaka who'd been leading the leauge in blocks the past 3-4 years
