By Michael Cooper, By Jake Uitti

Cloth

ISBN 9781637277607

Estimated Release Date Oct 2025

COOP. Say the name to a Lakers fan and after a guaranteed smile, a list of superlatives is sure to follow. The GOAT of NBA perimeter defenders. Five-time NBA champion. The quintessential glue guy. The graceful and thunderous finisher on a patented &ldquo;Coop-A-Loop&rdquo; alley-oop from teammate Magic Johnson. But more than anything when describing Michael Cooper, the conclusion is a player who was the ultimate teammate and winner, always willing to sacrifice for the greater good to make sure Showtime was the biggest hit on the hardwood.<br /><br />In <em>COOP: The Making of a Showtime Lakers Legend</em>, take a journey with newly minted Hall of Famer Michael Cooper back to the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles in the 1980s when Magic, Kareem, Big Game James, and Coop made the Forum the epicenter of the NBA and Hollywood nights alike, and put together one of the most dominant runs in the history of the sport. Yet while the Showtime Lakers made the fun, sun, and their epic run look easy, this conversational, candid, and joyous memoir delves deep into the hard work it took to get to the top, and the unbreakable bond they formed along the way.<br /><br />Cooper also takes readers back to his humble beginnings growing up in L.A., where he persevered through a debilitating childhood injury, self-doubt on the court, and a circuitous route to the NBA to become one of the best defenders in the history of the game and an essential Showtime Laker, followed by a fruitful post-playing career as a championship WNBA coach, cherished mentor to many, and a true Lakers legend with his enshrinement to the Hall of Fame.

<strong>A candid and insightful memoir from one the NBA&#39;s most unlikely stars.</strong><br /><br />Growing up, Muggsy Bogues was always told he should do something else, anything besides basketball. He never acknowledged his many doubters except to prove them spectacularly wrong.<br /><br />Twenty years after receiving his first basketball as a toddler, he stood proud&mdash;at five-foot-three&mdash;as the starting point guard for the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. From the East Baltimore playground courts where he earned his nickname by &quot;muggin&#39;&quot; opponents for possession of the ball, to Dunbar High School where he excelled alongside future NBA players, Bogues set the tone in his early years for the great heights he&#39;d reach professionally.<br /><br />In this new autobiography, Bogues delves deep into his life and career, reflecting on legendary battles with Michael Jordan, John Stockton, and other generational stars of &#39;80s and &#39;90s hoops. He shares far-ranging anecdotes from playoff runs in Charlotte, filming <em>Space Jam</em>, and even watching a young Steph Curry grow up.<br /><br /><strong>Conversational and clear-sighted, this is a story of uncompromising vision and fleet-footed determination during a golden era for the NBA.</strong>
