Michael Cooper is still living his basketball dream, 30 years after his Lakers career

Michael Cooper is the definition of a basketball lifer.

Since ending a Hall of Fame caliber career for the Lakers, Cooper has gone on to coach in the NBA, the WNBA, the G League, the NCAA, and even southern California high school hoops before landing at his current destination: The BIG3.

For someone who loves basketball as much as he does, it’s unsurprising that he would jump at the opportunity to coach at any professional level, even a 3x3 league that is better known for its creator, Ice Cube, than the actual play on the court.
