Michael Cooper on Jack Nicholson: He became our unspoken leader when he mooned the Celtics in 1984

February 7, 2025 by Hoops Hype

Michael Cooper on Jack Nicholson: “Jack was so down to Earth because we used to go to ‘On the Rocks’, which is above ‘The Roxy’ in Hollywood, and Jack would be in there and we used to party with him, drinking and it was an intimate setting nightclub so we’d all be up in there and just to hear some of the stories… But again you watched ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’, you watched him in many other movies and I couldn’t believe that this guy was standing next to me, but so knowledgeable of a fan, knew the game inside and out. My one great memory of Jack is that in 1984 and obviously not being able to beat the Celtics that year, we go there and the Celtics beat us but Jack said ‘You know? F-ck y’all I’ll moon them’. He pulled his pants down and mooned the fans on our way out. For us, that was our sign that ‘you know what? The Celtics will never beat us again’, and then we came back in ’85 and beat them. Jack was our unspoken leader.”
