[Highlight] Flagg gets up for a big dunk
ugh Dallas fans deserve him but their ownership doesn’t man
Agreed. At least Nico isn’t here to enjoy him.
He was a scapegoat to boost value for the lakers sale. I will die on this hill. Nobody suddenly refuses to negotiate with any other teams for better value and sends a guy to one franchise for scraps. And teams dont keeps important sales under wraps from other bidders like this either. I dont buy the incompetence bs at all. I do buy billionaires making themselves lots of money through valuation off the sale of the biggest nba franchise.
Are you a Mavs fan? It was Nico.
Owners are also idiots but the trade was nico’s idea
Not to mention, the gift of the first overall pick.
The first overall pick doesn’t happen if Kai doesn’t tear his ACL, which happened after the trade. It was dumb luck. Stop with the conspiracy theories.
Nah, I heard Adam Silver called Kyrie and told him the plan. Kyrie made sure that ACL tear was happening no matter what.
The conspiracy just has to be number one pick whenever there’s an opportunity with the Mavs in the lottery, which was bound to happen soon after the trade. Then the luck is that it happens to happen the very same year.
Well according to the plan, Kyrie and AD would be leading the Mavs right now. The Mavs only owned their picks last year and this year. After that, the won’t own their pick till 2031. Sounds like a shitty plan.
He did heal up fast 😂😂
Dumb hill to die on considering Nico was an imbecile long before he was hired by the Mavs. And after he joined he just kept making bad moves.
I don’t see how firing some of the best medical staff in the league is connected to the Lakers.
Guy’s an idiot.
Nah. He was not “contact only one team to sell your superstar player” stupid. History has been rewritten because of the trade. He made enough deals beforehand to see him as competent. He wasnt an elite gm by any means but he wasnt the clown we’re making him out to be. The lack of any kind of due diligence on a superstar player is a massive red flag to the whole narrative. It doesnt add up. And billionaires know their assets. They weren’t magically fooled by Nico. They’re playing dumb.
Guy wrote Seth Curry on his presentation to Steph. He really was that fucking stupid.
I thought they had reused the same presentation they had used for KD or something and hadn’t bothered to change any of the graphics and branding. And that they kept calling him “STEVE-n” instead of “STEPH-en”. Still…monumentally stupid and lead to him signing with UA instead of Nike.
It said Seth somewhere, and they kept calling him Steven yeah. And it was also a KD presentation
Lol. “Nico, how many ways would you like to fuck up this deal with Steph Curry?”
Nico: “All of them.”
Idk why y’all are falling on your swords for him. He thinks AD is a kareem level talent and a better player than luka. He owns the trade, at what point do we just believe him
Not falling on swords for anyone. Youre falling on swords to keep up the illusion that the league is pure. When theyve proven time after time that theyre only about the money
I dont think the league is pure, I just think this QAnon shit for the trade is dumb. The answer for the trade is simple, Nico is an idiot.
Its especially hilarious how easy it was to take all the heat off of the ownership. They fired Nico and instantly all Maveriks fans decided that he had hypnotized the owners into doing the trade and Nico held all responsibility.
Except no fans have forgiven ownership? We’ve always blamed ownership but this whole thing was Nico’s dumbass plan. So fuck him
Dumb conspiracy, have fun dying on that hill
Honestly and this isn’t a meme
I’m thinking about Nico right now.
Cause you know he’s watching this.
“You’re welcome Dallas.”
-Nico, as he nods smugly 😏
He’s like Batman
Fortune favors the bold
I’m glad that Coop is in Dallas.
I still cannot give a dollar to this organization in any form until the Adelson’s are gone. It’s a matter of principle at this point.
enjoying watching Coop and MFFLs cheer. that is it.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
If Luka didn’t get traded he might’ve been a Spur lol
Silver would’ve sent him to Philly
I love Flagg but I can’t complain getting Dylan Harper instead lol.
If the draft wasn’t rigged the Mavs could have had both
100%
I’m livid he’s doing very well.
I hope the Adelsons sell to a guy that loves Dallas. Big L for Mark Cuban tbh
Idk , if Luka continues to look physically diminished I think people have got to realise that clearly the leg injuries for Luka started the whole stupid idea of Nico . It might’ve been correct to trade Luka but should’ve gone younger probably as safer
This sub loved Luka n jokic but we’re they any other player we’d be having actual convo about how AD looks more physically fit then Luka this year at this point.
As good as advertised. Kid is unbelievable.
I’d take him over Wemby for the next 10-15 years
Naw. If we’re actually factoring health into the equation, maybe, but that’s the only reason. Wemby is next level.
Well yea that’s why I’d take Flagg. Wemby is too tall to stay healthy
Yeah I’m taking wemby but not by much.
this dude is younger than YouTube and is doing stuff like this to the fucking nuggets bro what
Younger than YouTube…
Well, fuck. That hurts.
Oof ow my back
He wasn’t born yet when the Mavs went to the finals in 2006
Get off my lawn
Also younger than the iPhone and the Nintendo wii
Nah he was born in December 2006, iPhone came out in June 2007, so it’s close but not quite.
He is younger than Twitter as well though, and for us old heads, the last Ford Taurus was produced a few months before Flagg was born.
I miss my 1999 Taurus :( That thing was a tank.
Until the Taurus re-release in 2008…
Bro. Stop.
And the BK Stacker.
Why’d he say it like that 😭💔
He won’t be of legal drinking age for another two whole years…
Not accurate. He’ll be 21 in under 2 whole years 🤓
All-star vote him in pls
Been doing it since the beginning
Yep he is All Star level right now and getting better every week and every game. Incredible two-way impact.
It’s nuts to be doing this while being absolute dog water from three too. Like his shooting is anomalously bad, I can’t imagine it doesn’t go up to at least like 30%
He won’t win they never let rookies win that. Wemby should have been one lol
Luka and Wemby didn’t get it and the were better, there is no chance for a rookie to win all-star in the league anymore. IMO this year the worst all-start level player is Scottie Barnes, and i don’t see Cooper Flagg better than Barnes.
Scottie Barnes who is averaging 20-8-5 while playing elite defense leading his team to a top 4 seed in the East is the worst all-star level player?
this season yes
You think Norman Powell, Bam, Mobley etc. are better than him lmao
no, I don’t think any of them are allstars
This dude is so fucking good
Remember the utter dog shit takes some people had during the first quarter of the season? Shit would be upvoted too.
can we please have Aaron Gordon back
I know it’s a matter of mismatch when Jokic was out there on the perimeter with Flagg but still, Flagg simply went right by him.
Jokic really can’t foul out. Nor is he able to keep up with a great driving lane, he just took the calculated decision. If he could jump I’m sure he would have followed behind and tried a block like the usual bigs, but even that wouldn’t have been easy.
Can we please get Kyrie back, or Lively, or Exum, or PJ, or Max or Klay.
People shouldn’t downvote you for this, it’s a valid point, but at the same time the person you’re replying to just wants to watch a player they love to get healthy again. They didn’t say Nuggets would’ve won the game if AG was there. If they had then sure, bring it up that’s fair play, but here they’re just expressing that Gordon would’ve been helpful in this game. Seems reasonable.
more specifically, I meant that we need AG there to defend this dunk
Absolutely. Miss him every game. Also the automatic lob dunks/layups from Jokic to him, especially considering a couple bad misses in recent games in those situations.
Nah its impossible to remove the subtext in these times. Even if thats what the guy meant, it would still be taken as a slight by mavs lol.
I was being a little snotty ngl lol
He just turned 19 LOL league is fucked
Is he the new Lebron? Luka is also potentially that, offensively, but i think Coop takes it cuz he plays defense. Crazy that Coop will get better.
He’s Kawhi plus two good knees minus the shitty hanger-on uncle.
Maybe I’m crazy, but with the way he’s played this season as the youngest guy in the league, I think he’s going to be considerably better than Kawhi if he cam figure out the 3 ball to some degree.
Pretty confident he’ll get that 3-ball up to 35% fairly quickly in his overall career.
People forget how good prime Kawhi was before injuries ruined him. Maybe it’s cause I’m a Mavs fan and had to watch him destroy us twice in the playoffs, but it was like watching MJ out there.
Kawhi in his prime led his team to championship… so not sure about considerably
Don’t give me hope
what a classic transition, he’s a bust -> he’s going to be the best player of all time, and next year we will more back to, “is he the most overrated player in the league?”.
What a classic meta analysis of boom/bust r/nba commenting. You really got em. They’re sure to think twice next time around.
And now you have successfully executed the “Ironic Detachment Counter-offensive,” completing the trifecta of internet discourse.
Honestly I think he’s not as refined as Luka offensively but it means he’s got more room to grow.
Imo he has that huge Lebron frame and he’s a big 6,8⁄9. He can be really special and I’d probably pick him over Luka if both were the same age based on athleticism/tools and effort /motor on defence
Dude just turned 19 a few days ago and he already looks like one of the best players in the league
Dude is compiling quite a collection of dunks
Easy rookie of the year
Shoutout Kon Knipples but Flaggy C arrival is here
Excellent. Throughout the land he shall henceforth be known as “Flaggy C”.
this but actually swish
We’re perfectly content being the Chet in this situation
Before Cooper Flagg’s crazy performances this season, Kon knueppel seemed like the rookie of the year. Now cooper Flagg is probably gonna win it.
Yea I don’t think it’s out of the question for Kon to win it, but the two thing Flagg has going for him 1) he’s shooting so bad from three it almost has to improve by sheer probability and 2) he looks great on defense for a rookie
An off ball player playing for the Hornets, in the end I don’t think would be that close of a race between him and Flagg even if eye test says otherwise. Flagg gets too much of a spotlight playing the way he plays, with so many highlights lol
6th pick if he was in this years draft
Seriously? I don’t pay attention to college bb, so genuinely asking
Nah it’s what someone in the media said early in the season
KOC?
Yeah I think it was KOC. It was like the first week or two of the season
i know utah is still mad as hell
Eh good riddance, their tanking last season was beyond shameless. He should have gone to the Wizards though.
I totally agree we should have him
Good to see a Mavs fan say it. Pray we get Dybantsa.
For Will Hardys sake, i hope you do. I feel so bad for that man lol hes such a good coach, i hope they dont shit on him right when they get good pieces
Oh well they can be mad 😭
Glares at my team’s #1 pick, (Risacher) wishing this was him
Man, y’all got the shit end of the stick getting the no.1 in Risacher’s draft, with it sandwiched between Wemby and Flagg draft years.
And next draft has a ton of potential too
It’s more y’all passed on castle , sheppard and Sarr ( get hd didn’t want to buy stil ) , risacher eirse then edey n clingan
HOLY
Just keeps catching bodies
Flagg has the body combination of AD/Kawhi combined
Hence the best comp for him has always been young KG
Damn who needs luka when u got Flagg Dallas lucky mfs
Beautiful coming of age story
Dude is he getting taller???
He looks longer now than he did 6 months ago
I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets one more inch out of him.
Looks like the NBA patched the whites with some bug fixes this year.
I am dying, thanks.
I guess you finally read the article and realized that Camp Adazi, the largest military base in Latvia - isn’t actually owned by Canada? Lol
“The last time Canada had a permanent military presence in Europe was following the Second World War and during the Cold War. The Armed Forces maintained two bases in West Germany until 1993.”
I swear he has had like five of these this game alone. He is amazing.
That is like Luka numbers man, also noticed that he draws the defenders like Luka by going into the paint then passes to the corner. It’s funny cause if we had Christie or Klay instead of Hardy, we could’ve been up by at least 5 lmao
fawk he’s a demon
Hunting down a 30 point triple double…
Joker trying to defend him in this clip lmao
He just turned 19 damn
Insane
Rookie Cooper Flagg is starting to really impress me because he is breaking records which used to be owned by himself, Lebron James. He broke the record for the youngest player to score 30 points, and just broke the record for the youngest player to score 40 points. He has a super bright future.
This kid is insane. Looks straight like he’s gonna have a Jaston Tatum esque, perennial first team all NBA type candidate career.
Woah
Adam Silver’s NBA, imagine if he went to the Spurs
SPENCER JONES , UR CANCELED FOR 40 GAMES
Hes a killa
prob dunk of the year so far
Flagg has like 5 dunks of the year already
The score 😭
Mavs won this trade easily bro 😭
was he part of the trade? we have to ask Silver that
Glad Tirico is able to call NBA games again. His call of Dame’s game winner over Houston was so fun
If he’s healthy and unless they find someone better than him (rather difficult) get set for Mike Tirico for the next 11 years at least! He will be turning 60 in a few months which means that his retirement from NBA basketball will come at 71 in earliest.
Getting NBC back was a gift.
Looking at his build, once he gets on that Tatum program, it’s trouble for the league.
His shoulders are broad asf
Yeah, there’s def some room for a lot of muscle in his upper body with those shoulders
I wonder what happened to all those people who were saying he was overrated at the start of the season. There was a lot of noise about how he lacked fluid movements and a handle.
Cooper Flagg is becoming him
I wanna see the photo that was taken once he started dunking. Perfect timing
Jokic is a sieve
Damn Jokic is a sneaky good defender
God damn he banged that
Yes, that was Joker he blew past
Rim Rattlin
Oof, nice!
This reminds me of the time I didn’t dunk over someone in an NBA game the month I turned 19
Since Nico got fired it’s like the Mavs like playing basketball again
All I see is a 19 year old future superstar disrespecting Jokic. Beautiful.
