FILE - In this June 7, 1984, file photo, Boston Celtics forward Larry Bird stretches over Los Angeles Lakers guard Michael Cooper to shoot and score two points in the overtime period of Game 4 of the NBA Championship Series, in Los Angeles. By the time the Lakers met the Celtics for the third time in the NBA Finals in the 1980s, defensive stopper Michael Cooper had enough with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and the rest of the Celtics. “It’s respectful to acknowledge the person that you’re playing, but I’m not taking you out to dinner,” Cooper said, thinking back on those days.
