>> WITH THE FIRST PICK IN THE 2020 NBA DRAFT, THE DALLAS MAVERICKS SELECT COOPER FLAGG FROM DUKE UNIVERSITY. >> THERE’S SUCH. A PURITY TO THIS MOMENT. A YOUNG MAN FROM NEWPORT, MAINE, SHARING HIS CHILDHOOD DREAM REALIZED WITH HIS MOTHER, KELLY, A 1000 POINT SCORER IN HER OWN RIGHT. HIS FATHER, RALPH, WHO ALSO PLAYED COLLEGIATE BALL, HIS TWIN BROTHER ACE, AND NOW DALLAS, A FRANCHISE WHOSE ERAS ARE DEFINED BY TWO NAMES DIRK NOWITZKI, WHO LIFTED A CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2011, AND MORE RECENTLY, LUKA DONCIC. BUT THIS PAST SEASON, DALLAS MADE A SHOCKING OVERHAUL, TRADING AWAY LUKA, MISSING THE PLAYOFFS A YEAR AFTER MAKING THE FINALS. BUT TONIGHT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW LOOK AT HIS CITY REPRESENTING FOR HIM THEY HAD JUST A 1.8% CHANCE DALLAS DID TO LAND THIS PICK. AND YET HERE THEY ARE WITH THE MAIN EVENT, COOPER FLAGG. WHO JAY BILAS, YOU HAVE CALLED THE GREATEST DUKE FRESHMAN EVER. THAT’S REALLY SAYING SOMETHING AS HE PICKS UP HIS CAP AND HAS HIS MOMENT WITH THE COMMISSIONER. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ZION. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT JAYSON TATUM. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

Seeing him in Dallas Mavericks is like he's still with the Duke.
this is corruption 😂, Luka trade was not a mistake
He doesn’t seem happy
Dallas traded Cooper flag to LA lakers for Luka doncic
Season just ended and I can’t wait for the next one
I don't get how Mavs fans are excited I mean they literally traded one of the top 5 players in the world who is still in his prime.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
King James Version
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
You never want to wish for a player to be a bust, but I’m hoping he isn’t good just out of spite for Nico and the Mavs.
As a Mavs fan, this has been a wild five months.
Now imagine if they still had Luka and flagg on the same team 😅
What happen to the intro sounds before announcing the draft?!!
Crazy how Cooper is following Luka on Instagram but not the Mavs. First time a rookie doesn’t sign the Max deal after his rookie contract is up. He’s signing with the Celtics as soon as he gets a chance! WATCH! 😂
🔥🔥
should have been a bull 🥀
Cooper the Maine Event Flagg, welcome to the Mavs
Healthy Dallas is going to be nasty. Dallas only missed because of injuries and got insanely lucky winning the draft. Cooper flag nba champ first year? Let’s check it.
Luka was traded for Flagg
Shocker 🤯
This league just keeps getting worse and worse.
Wow!!! What a surprise😂😂
bust
Congratulations flagg 👍
Thought before he was going to the Jazz boy were we all wrong lol.
