โYOU RANG?!โ!๐
Good comparison. Both players do a little of everything at an elite level passing, defend ,drive to the basket, and get others involved.
Flagg isnโt a flopper
I got a fever, and the only prescriptionโฆis more Boban Baby!
6โ7, 6โ8 โPoint Guardsโ..
We have officially entered the timeline where kids who grew up playing 2K are now running franchises. sighs
I thought Luka was white Lebron?
white bron is luka
Bruh..๐๐๐..the comment bait is crazy with that dumb ahh title
Hes better than bronny james thats for sht sho
The regular season hasn't even started yet, calm yourselves down
Yeah, this is how it starts. A white person comes along that plays basketball well, and the media starts comparing them to black players. They did this with Catlin Clark with the women. Both are good players, but the media creates division because Americans are stupid, and it's good for ratings.
He cant dish like LeBron. You cant run an offense through him like LeBron. He cant attack the basket as strong as LeBron. He doesnt have the speed of Lebron. And Lebron was 18/19 his Rookie year. Im not a Lebron 'fan' by any sense of the word but this comparison…. DumbAsHell.
Kendrick Perkins speaks, the entire NBA community as a whole loses brain cells.
Perk is build for media. He sure know how to lie. Flagg is already a bust. The amount hype media put behind this kid. He is a true bust. He will be a better Austin Reeves.
Media is destroying theses kids nowadays. Arch Manning, Shedeur Sanders. All average players.
There is no next or white version of LeBron. He is a one of a kind talent just like MJ,Magic,Steph,Bill,Wilt,Bird,Kobe etc
*yes I know Kobe emulated his game from MJ but they are still very different in many ways.
They really hate Lebron
Now let's be clear they had no idea they were getting Flagg when they traded Luca ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Goat Flagg
COOPER BETTER THAN LEBUM NOT CAREER WISE THE ACHIEVEMENTS HE GOT KILLER MENTALITY HES FOCUSED POTENTIAL LIKE KOBE NOT LIKE KOBE YET THE TALENT IS THERE THE FUTURE BRIGHT FOR THIS STAR IF HE DONT GET HURT THEN HE BE LIKE HAYWOOD FROM BOSTON I HOPE NOT ๐๐
they basically showed everything he does get used to this till half a season
To me watching Kobe all my life, we're about the same age. he's a Kobe 2.0 Kobe 8 when they won their first championship. kobe ran the point guard for shaq. arguing point the fadeaway still raw getting there like kobe and within 5 years they can win a championship even at least this year because of jason kidd in the helm.
Honestly Malika needs to go, all the crazy stuff she started spewing after getting a little status. It only gets worse from here. I'll leave it to ESPN. GL
A PG with 1 assist?
People need to stop with the comparisons with LBJ, you canโt drop cooper off to boo boo franchise and get lebron results
Cooper is the next Kobe
This is 100% rage bait and Iโm not here for it ๐๐
I want to see Malika and Kendra playing tic tac toe๐ณ๐ณ
This why nobody watch sports shows no more all was saying dumb ๐ฉ
I didn't know who yang was until I watched him the other night and he's nice nice for real. He was looking like a young Sabonis (the daddy) if you know you know.
Who?
๐๐๐๐๐ the takes
Bron has the most turnovers in NBA history and it's not even close.
Who thinks luka better than Davies, christy and flagg combine ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
And here goes Cooper being compared. Let the kid play and craft his own destiny.
Lol really dudes
ur comparing a rookie to lebron? Kids don't listen to these puppets
Sure the mavs didnโt know they were getting cooper ๐
More andre Kirilenko, he literally look like him in. He preseason thats ok but first overrall and hype
As a Mavs fan I want to say y'all are overly glazing fam ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
