We know Nico!
Nico, it’s Rob.
slaps roof
I have a really nice 2015 Subaru Forester, super reliable - let me take that fat, gas guzzling 911 Turbo off your hands.
Twin
He’s FAT
🚨🚨 COOPER FLAGG, YOU MIGHT BE THE BEST PLAYER FROM MAINE…BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN ESCAPE THE PAIN. YOURE EATING A SANDWICH ON THE BENCH. WHILE THE BIG BAD BOOTY DADDY HAS GOT YOUR GIRL DRENCHED 🚨🚨
Let me break it down for you. You take a 19-year-old rookie, and you put him in a game. That’s a 50⁄50 chance he wins, right? But now you factor in the other four guys on the court, and that drops to 20%. Except he was the number one pick, so that’s a 100% chance, which makes it a 120% chance when you add Duke.Now take the Mavs’ record. If you have 82 games and he plays all 82, that’s 100% of the games. But the guy’s a freak, so he’s playing 110% of the minutes, which means 90 games, which means he’s in the 3rd quarter of games that haven’t happened yet.His shooting percentage? Look at the numbers. He shoots 50% from the field, 50% from three, and 50% from the line. That’s 150%, and the numbers don’t lie. The other team’s best player has a 2 in 5 chance of stopping him. That’s 40%, which is less than 3 out of 5, which is 70%. You do the math.
(Offscreen) gimme that [expletive] mic “So you seeeeee!!!! The numbers…..dont lie!!!!! And like they always say, a hero aint nothing but a sandwich, because at Sacrifice… 😂
It brings me great joy that a Steinermath comment on r/NBA has over 100 upvotes
THE BIG BAD BALONEY DADDY
Trade him to the lakers RIGHT NOW
Celtics, bring him home
The crashout by Bill Simmons would be epic if he ended up with us lol
Hell yeah. Lakers will happily welcome fat basketball prodigies.
Naw well take him on the suns you can have green and 6 2nd rounders
Hailing from Dunkin Donuts!
From the great state of obesity… (and seriously Cooper, not Aroma Joe’s? FOR SHAME.)
Or hungover lol
Picking up where Luka left off
You can literally see his chins jiggling
Mavs Luka 2.0
Looka Sandwich
probably a beer sandwich knowing this fat fatty
And so it begins
Cooper? Chomper the chonker is more like it
Made me laugh good ty
What’s next? A beer after winning the Western Conference Finals??
I remember mark Sanchez got flak for eating a hotdog on the sideline and then he went to back to back afc championship games.
Yeah man I’m with the players in this situation.
If you need a hot dog or sandwich on the bench to get you through the game then fucking eat it.
No judgment here.
Zion gunna be on the sideline with a whole pot of gumbo 😂. I 100% agree with this sentiment
To be able to eat a hotdog and still play at a high level isn’t normal. Most of the time players are too nervous to eat
Edit: I meant during the game. Whatever these guys eat after the game doesn’t matter. During cardio that will feel like a rock in your stomach. That’s why I said it’s not normal to be able to eat like that and still play at a high level.
That’s a dumb thing to say
what level did you play at or were you a coach at any level above high school to say this as fact lol
he’s fucking 19 his growth plates might not have closed let him eat a goddamn sandwich
I meant during the game. God. Have you ever done cardio and stop in the middle, then eat a full sandwich, and feel it like a rock in your stomach?
Is Cooper Flagg about to take down post ACL tear Tom Brady?
I don’t know but maybe just avoid him in an alley in 15 years
I’ve never seen someone refer to Brady as post ACL Brady, like it made him a different player
He couldnt scramble like he used to
Tom Brady tore his acl?
He did indeed, pretty bad injury too and he struggled in recovery with infections from what I remember. And that hit is one of the main reasons why defenders today can’t hit the QB at/below the knee in any circumstance.
Cooper Flagg butt fumble incoming.
Please dont compare Cooper Flagg to Mark Sanchez
please

How long before Cooper Flagg stabs someone?
Probably had a stabbing hunger pain
The seahawks got caught by John Madden dealing and eating dogs like it was contraband in the 90s
And look at him now
Why are we insinuating that Mark Sanchez is good at football
Chicken tenders too I thought
nyc media is the difference. they hate when players on their teams act like human beings
Is this the superstar Mavs want? One who prioritizes sandwich time over playing time?
DO THE DALLAS MAVERICKS HAVE A FAT STAR PROBLEM? - ESPN
Anthony David would never eat food during a game
Wouldn’t want to get crumbs on his suit.
He’s prioritising his health in case he accidentally bites his cheek and has to miss a couple games
Had to avoid extra weight from the food to prevent injuries
They should just trade him now to the lakers. We’ll send back LeBron James
A LeBron James in his 20s. We’re practically doing charity here.
Hey so we did a quick check on Carfax on that LeBron you sent over and the VINs don’t match. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?
LeBron sold as seen
Call me crazy but I have my doubts your team is allowed to trade LeBron at this point.
they do have Lebron though. Jr but Lebron
Can I interest you with one lightly used LeBron James Jr?
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/fpEg9ajzOUU
Real superstars can make time for playing time and sandwich time
flagg for ad 1-to-1
AD has been solid lately. cooper better be careful, all i’m saying
his mom made it for him and he forgot to eat it before the game, I respect it.
That’s it trade him for Zach LaVine
Chet needs to be doing this between every possession
Lmao
You win reddit today
You didnt
This have some gold my epic bacon narwhal
Edit: WOW GOLD FOR ME TOO, THANK YOU KIND STRANGER!!!!
He should pack his bags. They’re gonna ship his fat, eating ass to LA.
Flagg for Looney, Adou and 2 2nds
Done
That comma placement (ㆆ _ ㆆ)
They have too many fat white boys as it is. Send him to the east coast, preferably to a city known for really good food. Like, I don’t know…
Gulf counts as east coast, dibs to New Orleans best food city.
I can’t even front, New Orleans has the best food I’ve tasted in the US.
Worst city for Zion to end up in.
Reminds me of the time my mom packed me a torta for my all day school trip to Disneyland. I was a little embarrassed but then felt grateful as I was the only kid whose parent thought of packing them a lunch instead of having to buy the expensive food in Disneyland. Maybe not related at all to this post but I’m fried so Yall getting this comment.
My mom taught me to sneak food into movie theaters and amusement parks to avoid overpriced food. I’m still carrying on that tradition to this day. The mouse wants to charge me 7 bucks for a churro, fuck that.
You know who’d pay 7 bucks for a churro? Those big ol’ women in San Antonio.
They’re actually paying 14 bucks because you know they’re double fisting those suckers.
What they doin to those churros chuck?
holy shit this thread has come full circle and i love it
Only place that truly gets me to pay for expensive shit is the airport
I also just deal with paying the premium but for what it’s worth you can bring food through security.
Credit card with lounge access is definitely worth it if you travel enough.
Never understood this, are y’all getting to the airport 4 hours before your flight? I’m usually at the gate like 35m before boarding. I’m not trying to cross the airport to find a seat in a lounge
Disney does not stop you from bringing outside food.
They’re actually more expensive than that
Especially when God created the perfect place to hide a churro on our bodies!
Some of us don’t have vaginas
You misunderstand
But all of us have buttholes
You’re allowed to bring food into Disneyland.
The mouse absolutely doesn’t need your hard earned cash. He gets more than enough
Me as an adult at the movies, but instead my wife and I are sneaking in shooters of tequila
That’s a good lesson. I’m sneaking candy into a movie tomorrow.
But you can bring whatever food you want into Disney park’s except for alcohol.
Disney allows outside food. Just not alcohol or hard coolers.
Man, I love your mom
What kinda torta? Just had a carnitas torta the other day and that shit went crazy.
the last sentence has at least two meanings
I had a cubano torta the other day and it was the tits. Love me a torta.
I don’t understand. Those are both just sandwiches. It was a torta with cubano ingredients? That’s just a Cuban sandwich (am Cuban).
I don’t know dawg, it even had cut up pieces of hot dog in it. I wasn’t asking questions.
Bro those lunch tortas would hit the spot. Even some simple refried beans with sour cream and queso fresco would suffice
Your mom knew game and was probably on a budget, she probably had packed better food that anything you would have gotten
Did everyone else just have money on them? How does the school not prepare for that?
hell yeah s/o to yo mama
Your mom PUT YOU LUNCH?!
Fr tho tortas are so goated, thats a blessing that you mom would do that for you
Yoooo! Mom knew the cost of Disneyland food. And understood you would work up an appetite on a fun field trip.
Any school that does a field trip to Disneyland is goated
We went to the same log cabin at a state park every year for our field trip
MVP
Disney pass holder here: packing lunch is the move. You save money and dont have to change plans to stop and eat, you can eat in line.
That’s a good parent. I was just at universal and saw pizza slices. Was going to buy 2 slices but they were $12 A SLICE. I threw up instead.
how tf did she fit a whole torta into a lunchbocks?
sometimes, you just gotta let the people know, piccolo
hey man that sounds like a great memory you have of your mom
mom
Damn
Your mom fit herself into a lunchbox?
That’s some thick white bread. The sandwich is rather large as well.
It’s that’s Texas white bread
He’s got that Sara Lee honey white bread, rich fuck.
It didn’t look like naan
There’s this weird thing in the NBA where they have these super gourmet peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Like, they’d be $40+ each if you could buy them yourself. But they usually eat them pre-game.
Yeah white bread is better for short term energy. A whole grain would digest more slowly so it’d be better hours prior.
I’m pretty sure I’ve read the NFL goes through an insane amount of uncrustables for situations like this.
yo picturing a whole NFL team just demolishing hundreds of inscrutables at halftime while they talk over gameplans is frying me rn
Teenage metabolism, I miss you every day😢
Real bring your own lunch pail kind of guy
I miss making these jokes about luka too…
He’s 19… y’all think his ma makes his sandwiches?
I miss Luka.
I don’t get why more don’t do this, I get hungry playing pickup
Most of the time its in the locker room during halftime
There’s a negative stigma for eating on the bench in football, basketball, and hockey. Not in baseball though.
Baseball players are already fat that’s why
I used to eat candy in right field during little league.
Once again, Timmy, those were flowers you picked from the field and you weren’t supposed to eat them.
I was a little asshole and hated right field so when it was my turn I would just sit down and fill my hat with grass and flowers. I can’t even remember having to field a ball whenever it was my turn.
it’s encouraged! that’s why the innings are so long, so the pitchers have time for the 5th inning PB&J
I wonder if it’s because baseball players have a lot of downtime, standing time.
Of course they have to full out sprint running to base, making a play on the field, etc. But I imagine they cover the fewest miles of all those listed
I used to eat on the sideline in football, our coaches wife brought snacks a lot.
Baseball players just stand there so not getting a ton of exercise when they play
I blame dumb coaches
Always funny in baseball when they cut to the dugout and there’s like 5 buckets of candy and gum and sunflowers seeds
As a runner that is so foreign to me because I eat mid run
I think the cramps could cause you to drown if they are bad enough.
Theres a common belief that eating and then exercising can cause cramps
Like that old lifeguard rule “dont eat an hour before swimming”
Im just realizing now maybe the swimming thing was actually a psyop to prevent diarrhea in the pool
It is definitely not comfortable to eat a bunch of food and then exercise. You can eat a few bites and be fine
You have diarrhea within an hour of eating something?
Some peoples digestive systems lay dormant until they eat.
Every time ive had diarrhea its after my first meal of the day. Likely some sort of genetic motility issue
Diarrhea is a sign of respect in my culture
Idk about diarrhea, but right after I take my morning breakfast and coffee, I shit immediately. It’s like clockwork. Mostly fully formed though. Is that disrespectful in your culture?
Depends what you’re eating.
If you don’t get diarrhea within 30 minutes of eating a huge fatty brisket sandwich or 5 birria tacos, extra grease, then give it 10 to 15 years and get back to me
I was a lifeguard and that rule is cause kids will stuff themselves and then swim before digesting and puke in the pool
It was a psyop by parents to get to laze around after a meal and not worry about drowning kids
Tennis players eat bananas during matches to avoid cramps. I think basketball players should do more of that
Monkey never cramps
I get why players dont want to start digesting etc during games but I dont get why gels like marathons use arent popular
They get enough carbs from liquid sports drinks.
Not tryna shit on the court
That’s what I was thinking, I’m surprised we done see this more
They need more wine
Dude is burning a thousand calories out there let him have his ham sandwich.
I eat after, I can’t eat before or during because it feels like I will throw up the food that I just ate
same, ppl laugh at me for bringing peanuts but i go and down a handful or two between games and it def helps if i’m there for a while
God forbid a white boy get a little motion sandwich
Why not both?
Damn they loaded that bitch up too.
Nico Harrison is screaming and foaming at the mouth right now
Send his ass to the Lakers
God can you imagine if luka was literally crushing sandwiches on the bench 😂
Sources say this was a tribute to fat Luka
Reminds me of this Onion classic. Shaq misses entire second half with pulled pork sandwich.
“When I saw him grimace immediately after the pulled pork sandwich, I could tell that he was done for the night,” forward LeBron James said. “You could just see it all over his face.”
Damn, I forgot that Shaq played on the Cavs with Lebron.
The Enlukafication of Cooper Flagg begins.
Followed by EnLakerfication
He’s gonna look so good in purple and enshitified Nike yellow in five years.
it might be neon yellow at that point
Highlighter horse shit I think it’s listed as.
I’m not endorsing this behavior if I’m Mavs’ GM, better trade him to Lakers for a reliable defensive-oriented center on a good contract, like Walker Kessler.
Not injury prone enough, sorry
Weak. Luka would have had a burger and a beer
He’s still a growing boy, let him chow down
I just wanna know what kinda sandwich though
Thick ass PBJ
Looks tasty.
I’ve seen players eating fruit and small finger food on the bench before.
Never a sandwich though. It probably happens alot off camera somewhere, many times.
I think Westbrook was eating a sandwich on that clip where he’s sneaking food on the bench
Ahh yea, I remember that clip, lol.
I never knew what he was snacking on, haha.
It was a week long scandalous news cycle when LeBron ate fruit on the bench lol
I’ve seen Bron eating fruit on the bench lol. Also seen him eat a French fry mid-game after a play way back in like 2009 or 2010. Basketball is so physically exhausting. You need the fuel for energy.
I feel like only people who have actually played know that lmao. Can’t even imagine the toll it takes at a D1 level, let alone an NBA player.
I play pickup (very poorly) with other regular ass people who are also not great, mostly for the fact it’s amazing cardio.
You bet your ass we’d break for water and a quick bite every now and then.
Same here. Both on playing poorly, and stopping for a snack mid-game. The tubby 52-year-old lawyer is calling iso, I know this is about to be stupid, gonna go grab me an apple.
He was just drinking alcohol in the stands the other night
Bron is gonna be taking whiskey shots next season in his grandpa don’t care era
Bron gonna run a fast break with a handle of Henny in one hand
Not just that… beer and whiskey shots, weirder than 50, Pac, Biggie or Ricky Ross.
Saw that too sippin’ a fan’s wine.
Intra carbs
I’ve seen a hundred football players eat a hot dog on the sidelines mid-game. Why is this notable?
Bronny been eatin’ ass all season
Bron always snacking at games
No you don’t lol it’s not like every player is doing this
i’ve heard some players eat snacks at halftime but idk how common that is
Oh I remember bron eating fruit on the bench, because he was CRUCIFIED for it 😂 I remember article after article, thread after thread, “Could you believe LeBron was eating FRUIT, on the BENCH!?”
TRADE HIM TO THE WIZARDS FOR AD, LET’S GO
Poor guy; he’s still going through puberty he must be starving 😂
I see he’s embracing Luka arc. He’s gonna get fat and traded and go on insane october/november run in approx 7 years.
After luka prime years fucking lakers gonna get him . NBA is so biased towards Lakers
Is that a pb&j
All day in locker rooms. Good fast carbs, little crash, easy to digest
Definitely. And a loaded one.
Meal of champions
I will have to start telling my 2 year old daughter that she is eating the meal of nba champions
Off brand uncrustable
He’s a growing boy
You can’t skip lunch!
You can’t!
We’ve gone from pocket watching to snack watching
The dude is 19 years old… turning 20 next month. I’m sure his digestive system still works compared to an old fart.
“gets spotted”.. Like a conspiracy has been exposed.. Like he was attempting to hide it and it was hard to see… Like he was smoking crack and not eating a sandwich…
Slow news week?
He was doing so well hiding it until this master sleuth spotted him
Lunch break at work he’s one of us
Real lunch pail guy
Hes had that lunch pail for years now
