[Highlight] Cooper Flagg on going up against Wemby in his first ever game: “I had never seen anyone like that so I was definitely a bit nervous”
If they can stay healthy, we might be entering a great era for tall guys.
We had been in an era of big men for some time now - Jokic, Giannis, Embiid. Yeah Shai is a name here right now but I expect that to happen even when Wemby, Cooper etc will be dominating.
The future should be pretty well balanced Wemby Chet maybe Sengun as elite centers Ant Cade Darryn Peterson Kneupel Maxey Hailburton at guard Flagg Dybansta Barnes maybe Paulo at forward
No Sarr?
He could definitely be there I’m probably missing a few guys
You’re okay kid, nobody had seen anyone like that.
Remember when dude on the nuggets had a handshake with rookie Wemby and that shit shook him to the core. Mans was flabbergasted.
Confirmed Wemby is an alien
I mean dude’s an alien
And that particular game was the most alien like game he ever played
Like you had Ryan Ruocco on commentary properly flabbergasted at the display and just saying he’s the cosmic grace
What’s up with these camera angles and close ups? Makes it feel like it’s a very serious documentary
It’s definitely too much
That was probably one of the most dominant performances I had ever seen
Can’t think of a more horrifying “Welcome to the NBA” moment except for maybe Shaq or Wilt
Wemby fan here, but I can tell wemby respect cooper flagg’s game. Wemby’s energy is always there against him, he plays hard and wemby always tryna guard coop. Wemby knows cooper is no joke, not fake tough like ****
I look forward (maybe not lol) for this guy to have a better group coz he will become such a pain-in-the-ass sooner than later.
man I hope the Mavs get a great top pick, get a great guy with Coop (which won my heart last night) and we have another solid decade of rivalry, which is what i wanted with Luka but… either way Coop is my fav cuz he plays two way, so i think it’s fine either way, they got lucky and it makes us lucky to watch that cinema for a while
MJ played against plumbers
Lebron played against podcasters
Dirk played against parks and rec actors 😎
Crazy You won’t ever hear Luka saying some shit like this, he’s got a record of 4-1 against that lengthy ass MF lmaooo!!!
Excited to see what Cooper can become, given what he has already shown - I’m looking forward to future matchups between the two.
I love weitdly color-graded interviews where you can’t see who’s talking half the time.
And you could tell Wemby freaked him out that game.
Welcome to the nba moment for real. But then he dropped 30+ on wemby after that as a baby rook.
dropped 30 on the spurs* i think wemby guarded him for once possession lol
wemby jerk unreal on reddit
Coop deserves a lot of credit for getting his midrange game to go against Wemby, but it’s a bit of an exaggeration to pretend he went at Wemby and scored at will. He did the bulk of the damage during the minutes the Spurs went center-less. I don’t think he challenged Wemby at the rim once. Why would he?
I mean… it’s a good thing Wemby wasn’t guarding Coop straight up or else he’d get absolutely dusted on every possession lol. Using him as a perimeter defender obviously is not to his strengths.
I was at the game. He went at him several times. The point is, he’s not afraid anymore. He’s past it…already putting up spurts of all star numbers.
And when you’re someone that big, you’re responsible for the paint. Coop scores in the paint.
