[Music] i remember growing up in Maine there’s people that told me I would never be able to you know make it to the next level or play divisional basketball he’s so young he’ll be 18 when the NBA season starts he doesn’t turn 19 until December [Music] and all of a sudden you have this young Americanborn superstar that you have the opportunity to pick you know who’s going to put butts in seats it’s Cooper Flag what makes Cooper flag so special cooper flag cooper cooking are you serious is allowed and flag to throw it down he’s going to be an alltime great player what a play by Cooper Clap cooper’s unique because of his combination of natural talent athleticism i’m not sure there’s anything that just jumps out of the page yet struggling to retain possession and he turned it over the game’s on the line throughout the season cooper flag has not been over i hope he is a great player but the pressure on him will be enormous cooper flag going to work inside yeah he just he’s different so when he feels like he needs to be in the gym he ain’t gonna be out with some hookup flag into the paint slams it not that there’s anything wrong with it looks like he is the top and flag with a stop i think what sets him apart very skilled he’s a two-way player this young man has put on an absolute show here you think about the NBA now you think about positionless basketball you can pass you can score can shoot [Applause] [Music]

Kid aint a superstar. Role player at best. High level glue guy like jrue but a wing
Way to Go, Cooper! Well Deserved!
Welcome to big D coop hopefully he will be successful here!
In the 2015 NBA draft, the New York Knicks selected Kristaps Porzingis with the 4th pick, aiming to develop him under Melo's guidance and later use him as a trade asset. Karl-Anthony Towns was the first overall pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves. In 2023, KP, The Unicorn was traded to the Boston Celtics as part of a rebuilding strategy. By 2024, he won an NBA championship with the Celtics, being recognized as an 'X-factor' despite injuries limiting his playtime, especially in the finals. His unique skills in scoring and defense were vital to the team's success.
