Isiah Thomas on who's the greatest point guard ever: 'When it comes to number one, that's Magic Johnson'
On who’s the greatest point guard of all-time: “Well, I know who’s number one, and that’s Magic Johnson. We’ve never seen anything like him. And when you talk about what he was able to do, I mean, there’s no player that really compares to him. Now, there have been some that are similar, but there’s nobody like Magic, so let’s not even have that conversation because he’s the one, right? And now, when you get to small players like myself and Curry who have won, it’s a good conversation and it’s a good debate because we both have won, but we did it differently. Now, people can choose which one they like the most, but there’s no argument that we both did it and we both won. So it’s a matter of taste, and I’m just happy as a small guy to be in the conversation. So if I’m in the conversation, I’m fine. But when it comes to number one, that’s Magic Johnson.”

Isiah Thomas: 'LeBron James is the best that I've ever seen from a team standpoint and also as a basketball player'
On LeBron James’ place in NBA history: “I think when you look at, like I say, he’s touched and he leads in almost every statistical category. He’s passed Kareem in scoring. I think he’s got the most playoff points. Not only that, when you look at the assist column, I know where I stand on the assist record. I think he’s passed me; I think he’s passed Magic on the assist record. I mean, so when you talk about passing, scoring, rebounding, we’ve never had a player in the NBA that has touched every statistical category and leads in some of these statistical categories that we’re talking about. There’s never been another player like him. Now, everyone has their favorites, but if the numbers don’t lie, the numbers don’t lie. And he definitely passes the eye test. So to me, he’s the best that I’ve ever seen from a team standpoint and also as a basketball player.”

Michael Cooper: 'Byron Scott, Norm Nixon and Robert Horry should definitely be in the Naismith Hall of Fame'
Scoop B: Now that you’re going to be in [Hall of fame] is there any other of your cohorts in the Lakers purple and gold that you’d also like to see being inducted? Cooper: Of course. I think Byron Scott, Norm Nixon should definitely be in there, hopefully they will be considered there in the future. Robert Horry, one of the players. You know what I found out that the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame isn’t about what you did on the court most of the time; it is but it’s your contribution to the game. Giving back to the game in any form or fashion.

Michael Cooper on LeBron James being accused of nepotism: 'When you're that good, people try to find little knicks and knacks about you'
Scoop B: Recently Bronny James was drafted by the Lakers. What was your thought when you saw that? Cooper: I think that is one of the greatest things to happen. First, LeBron James, his father, has done so much for the game of basketball, now. He is the first player to ever play with his son and why not do it in a Laker uniform? Scoop B: People give him hell about nepotism. Why do you think people go so hard at LeBron? Cooper: When you’re that good, people try to find little knicks and knacks about you. But this is not about nepotism at all. It’s about drafting a young player that will definitely help the Lakers in the long run and he just happens to have the last name, James.

Brian Keefe on Alex Sarr: His ability to see and read the game is what stood out to us
Sarr struggled with his shooting on the other end of the floor, but Keefe has seen plenty of flashes of his offensive ability and looks forward to exploring what he believes is a very high ceiling as a two-way player. “He’s got the ability to be a three-level scorer at some point. But one thing that has stood out to us is his ability to see the game and read the game. He’s a good passer, so we want the ball in his hands to explore those opportunities for him to make plays for himself and others,” Keefe said of the 7-footer.
