    Critiquing Shaq’s Top 10 ALL-TIME List, BIG 3 League & NBA Finals Game 5
    Jun 16 2025
    On this episode of Showtime with Coop, former NBA Champion Michael Cooper and CLNS Media’s Nick Gelso dive into the biggest headlines surrounding the BIG3 and NBA. Coop reacts to the heated altercation between Lance Stephenson and Dwight Howard in his first game coaching a city-branded BIG3 team, reflecting on how he’ll manage emotions moving forward. He also shares what stood out in Miami’s gritty debut, Stephenson’s early impact, and how repping a city shifts the team’s identity—plus whether he’s spoken with Pat Riley. The conversation then turns to NBA legacy talk, where Coop weighs in on whether Magic Johnson was a “difficult leader” like Bird, Jordan, or Kobe, and critiques Shaquille O’Neal’s viral Top 10 all-time NBA players list… which controversially left out Kareem.
