This Los Angeles Lakers champion throws some shade at the All-NBA guard.
The Los Angeles Lakers have made legends by wearing purple and gold throughout their historic time, but none may have been more impactful and filled their role than former Defensive Player of the Year, Michael Cooper.
The Hall of Famer knows a thing or two about the game of basketball and isn't afraid to tell it how it is. In his latest podcast, "," he did a Start, Bench, Cut segment that featured Luka Dončić, Damian Lillard, and Kyrie Irving. "Luka gives you that triple-double almost about every night, but he's too slow for me. If he wasn't a scorer, I would cut him. I give him credit for that, but to me, he's lazy," Cooper said. "Doesn't hustle back on defense."
Dončić is arguably the most skilled offensive player in the league today, and the numbers back it up. He may never have cracked an All-Defensive team, but he has already been named to the All-NBA team five times, is a five-time All-Star, and won the 2023-24 scoring title.
