[Highlight] Cooper Flagg DETONATES in transition
Every single game, he gets more and more confident
And he’s not even 19 yet
People deadass forget he reclassified to skip a grade in high school lol, and he’s already damn good for his age
Most people also have no concept of how rapidly he has developed as a player. To go from Maine second division (Class A) basketball his freshman year of HS to starting in the NBA four years later in what should be his freshman year of college is beyond nuts.
Nokomis Regional for a year. Montverde for two. Duke for one. NBA starter.
I still can’t wrap my head around it.
Are you too young to have seen the era of players coming straight out of high school?
You have to understand how bad Maine basketball is. It’s a complete anomaly
How bad is it?
A complete anomaly, obviously.
The best NBA player from Maine in history is Duncan Robinson
He was born in Maine, but even he didn’t play HS ball here. Flagg is the first person who played any amount of HS basketball in Maine to make it to the league.
Sounds about right. He did win five championships in San Antonio
Lotta short white kids is what they’re trying to say lol
I’m so old. I rememeber KG getting drafted. Ow my hip. No, really. I’m seeing an ortho surgeon next month so I can figure out how to get back to work.
Thanks for reminding me that my knees will hurt tomorrow morning.
Nah. As the other person pointed out, It’s about how bad Maine basketball is.
We’re a state of less than 1.4 million people. With a talent pool that small, the level of competition generally isn’t good enough to develop high-level players. Take a look at the list of Maine Gatorade POTY winners to get an idea of what I mean.
Having a player out of Maine earn their way into a top D1 program is rare enough.
Damn good is a huge understatement
Hot take?: he goes third or fourth if he stays in his class and enters the draft with them this coming up year
Damn he’s even younger than Tatum
I mean yea he said Tatum is his childhood hero. Having said that yes he is technically 12 days younger than Tatum
Luka who??
Cooper Flagg.
Luka What??
Mavs fans deserve this after the Luka trade.
Kid is bringing the joy back to Dallas.
He’s gonna get taller?!
It is insane to me that he and Jayson Tatum are just 18.
Tatum is 15, actually
Tatum is 19
And 6ft10 at least.
Damn, he’s moving with aggression now, he’s gonna be a lot of fun
Already is
Already was
Subtle move away from the poster.
Why does that smile remind me of Luka 😭
Alexa play Glimpse of Us
Im dead.
You are still grieving brother. The sooner you let it go the sooner you can move on.
Nice jam
Cooper “White men will jump” Flagg
Nice hammer. But who was that dude who decides to track him and just stops to guard the ball?
Trying not to pick up the foul
He’s almost ready to be traded to the Lakers
He needs to indulge himself more on some Texas bbq and play less defense
Once we complete the trade for Giannis were set for the next decade.

the day Flagg figures out the long range shooting, he’s gonna be a huge problem
It was truly a Luka for cooper flag thro and thro
yeah this guy is gonna be a monster for a long time
I don’t know a THING about basketball, but that drive and dunk reminded me SO MUCH of Lebron.
Is he the most athletic white guy in the league? 🤔
I don’t know, is Mac still on a roster somewhere?
Stupid q but how is that not a travel before his singular dribble
AD Cooper brother mentorship combo so cool to watch ! You can totally see it inspiring the team as well!! Dope shit to witness
Hate to be that guy but is this not a travel? He takes 2 steps before the dribble. Sick dunk tho
I also detonated in transition if detonated meant “came” and transition meant “in my pants”
Bro is gonna be generational, Duke’s lucky they got him for even one year
He’s so good x3
This isn’t even his final form.
Would be so fun when Kyrie comes back and the Mav actually dominate.
It’s giving young bron
Flagg is a baller man
so wait what if the Mavericks are good now and then when Kyrie returns they win a championship?
When I was almost 19 I drank a lot and smoked haha shortking for the win
This aint about you.
No need for caps on the word detonates. He was 7 inches off the floor and cocked that ball to his hairline.
Cooper Flagg for AR-15… who says no?
Awesome, trade him to the lakers
back in my day detonates used to mean something
He’s gonna be better than Luka mark my words
He’ll never be able to match the stats but there is a path for sure
Where have I heard a Hawks fan use that sentence before? 🤔
Not offensively but the defense will make up for some of it. Still. Tap those brakes
Already way behind. Luka was the best player outside the NBA at 18
Great defense #20 ! This is why I don’t watch basketball anymore.
Honest question, what do you expect him to do there? If he contests that dunk he gets absolutely destroyed and probably fouls him in the process, making it a 3pt play
Judging by the space before your exclamation point, I’m guessing you don’t watch basketball anymore because babysitting your grandkids takes up all of your free time.
If you watched it before, you never understood it. He was guarding the man in the corner and didn’t have time to get into position for a contest.
Every dunk is a “detonation” now huh? Do the players do “detonations” in “the lab” too? Or are dunks only “detonations” in real games?
go to bed unc 😂
Hahaha not a bad idea!
It’s what the mavs announcer say when he dunks lol tell your boy vj to get some points on the board tho trash ass 😂
Poor kid lacks handles
VJ just needs time… exciting to watch regardless
Yeah I love his game. He’s a keeper
