Hall of Fame value: Why Michael Cooper finally made it to Springfield
Briefly

"First of all, I got the call on April Fool's Day, April 1st, and I thought it was a joke at first. They said, 'No, Coop, you got in.' So, yeah, I didn't really expect it because the time they called before I didn't get in. But they said I was in. I was elated. I got up and started yelling, 'I'm in the Hall of Fame!'"
"I heard Mr. Colangelo's voice so I knew it was real because the other times they had called me he was never on the line. It was always somebody else saying, 'Hey, Coop, listen, the consideration went in. You were real close, but not this year.' But now, I'm in the Hall of Fame!"
