[Highlight] Cooper Flagg drains the 3-pointer to tie the game for the Mavericks. He has 49 points, the most ever by a Mavericks rookie.
Kid’s gonna be an absolute star
At his young age if he applies himself and puts in the effort, he might get noticed by some scouts.
Real lunch pail kinda kid
Sneaky Athletic, Deceptively quick first step, doesn’t goon, and the kind guy you let your son date.
I heard some of the professional sport athletes take home a respectable wage. Might even garner the attention of a pretty lady if he plays his cards right I reckon.
Gonna be?
Gonna be
golden
Oh oh oh up
Maybe 🤷♂️, we will see….
Yeah he could still be a bust
lebron-esque
Top talent in nba and nfl coming from NC schools
His mindset is what sets him apart for me. He has all the physical tools, but continues to stay humble and keep grinding. Even here, in one of his highest moments as an athlete, he doesn’t over celebrate and stays focused. So much respect for that
Adam Silver really got them a good replacement
Those words are forbidden here. You can’t just say that they traded a generational star to be replaced by a generational star.
People say it constantly. But it’s a dumb conspiracy theory considering the other owners would never be okay with that. you think Steve Ballmer facilitated helping the Lakers and Mavs? LMAO
I know it’s a dumb conspiracy but there are way more crazier conspiracies out there that turned out to be true.
Did Adam Silver also personally tear Kyrie’s ACL? Or is the theory that he only decided to rig the lottery after they were knocked out of the play-in because he felt bad?
It’s plausible
The adelsons are pretty powerful people fwiw
It’s easily justifiable. Lakers is one of if not the biggest market in the NBA, and with the aging LeBron he Silver might want another superstar for the Lakers. And Dallas wouldn’t give Luka unless there’s a huge tradeoff.
I’m not saying this is true though because I have 0 evidence lol but I don’t think it’s that farfetched.
Yes it is far fetched because Mavs probably wouldn’t be in a lottery, if AD and Irving hadn’t got injured. Or at least be worse than the Bulls when the Mavs won their coinflip to then get lucky in the lottery.
Yeah cuz Kyrie tearing his ACL was all a part of an elaborate scheme to get us that 1OA
It feels dirty
Off season news…
Flagg has been traded to the Lakers for Hachimura straight up.
Might be the best rookie duel. How did the Duke team lose in NCAA with those two
They were smooth sailing then had a nonsensical collapse in the final minutes against Houston.
I turned off the TV when they were up 7 with like 30 seconds left. Thought they had it in the bag lol.
Lol you turned that game off at 30 seconds left on the clock? That’s even crazier than them losing.
best of 1
Kon shoulda gotten more touches and more shots. Hes a better shooter too.
WHOOOOOOOOOSE HOUSE!!
Imagine if he was on a good team like the Wizards
You can pry him from my cold dead hands
Better and whiter than Luka
He just plays the game the right way
His dance moves are so palatable
A real lunch pail type of guy. First one in, last one out, daughter dating, curfew respecting, high credit score individual.
He’s good crop, I’ll give ya that. But what i really like is his relationship with his father. So affirming…
Move over Euros, we got a new great white hope in town
It is the most ever points by a teenager, and he’s barely 19:
lebron scoring 43 on the 2004 pistons is the equivalent of someone scoring 70 in this era. game ended 92-76 lol
I need GG Jackson to pull one of these games out again
He passes himself and Mark Aguirre, who had his jersey retired earlier tonight, for the most points in a game by a rookie in Mavericks franchise history.
It’s also the most points scored by a teenager in NBA history.
If you missed this game, you’re missing out on something special
Two tank teams feeding their high Duke draft picks the ball over and over and neither team playing defense?
He is ON ONE tonight
20-28 is unbelievable
He is so tough OMFG
Adam Silver did this and scapegoated Nico
10000% no one talks about it enough. It’s just oh Nico is dumb.. NBA made the Luka trade happen then gave them #1 draft pick as a prize.
That boy cold. Kon too
Bro Coop and Kon are crazzzy good. I think Coop edges out because his teammates are mostly bums but Kon is gonna be a staple in this league for a long time.
Cooper nice as hell! But man the hornets been hooping as of late
As a Spurs fan I’d watch the Mavericks back then if the Spurs weren’t playing cause of Dirk, then cause of Luka. Crazy trade happens and they get Coop. You can tell this kid was gonna be special and he clearly is which why I still watch the Mavs.
when the Spurs Mavs rivalry ended, all that was left was respect
Just a fan of good basketball! Like secretly I wanted the Rockets to lose tonight only because it helps the Spurs lottery chances lol. Buuuuuuut I’m a KD fan because he’s so good and been doing it at a high level for so long. How can you not respect that??!
Good day for young Dukies.
Mavs have two injured Dukies waiting to come back from injury- Kai and D Live
All this because Luka was fat
Mavs need to tank man. Pair Cooper with another potential franchise player from this draft and build around those two.
It’s not fair
If Nico was still there he’d trade this lad for Giannis
Bro is so good
I think he’s going to bag a kadashian at this rate!
Flagg is that rare two-way unicorn. He was absolutely LIGHTS OUT today!
This MF nice!!!!!
Yeah he’s already a bonafide superstar. The kid is supremely talent and athletically beastly. He’s going to be a massive part of NBA stardom moving forward
Kon got him at the end lol
He did get the steal, but coop blocked the fuck out of him that was a weak ass call
no it wasn’t lmao
If Luka was still there cooper would be in the corner hoisting threes all night long
If Luka was still there, the Mavs wouldn’t have had the #1 pick.
Complains way less than Luka and plays better defense. Mavs got lucky
Mavs did an under the table deal but I digress
Him and Kon going for 49 and 34 both on over 60% for a pair of kids is wild, what a game
PJ’s face lol
If his offense can match his stellar defense i see tatum i swear
I wanted to say he’s gonna be a problem, but nah, he already is one. Dude’s gonna be a crisis at this rate
where’s the pic of Isaiah thomas saying “i got my joy back” bc that’s me with coop on the mavs
Nice player y’all got there 👀
But did they win?
They still lost. Rip.
The Mavs org should be suffering infinite karmic penance for their cosmic level sins and instead they get a future MVP balling his head off. God damnit man.
Pooper Flagg
Please dont trade, please don’t trade
