Just a little context here, Cooper Flagg scored a double double in his debut NBA game, that’s nothing to sneeze at. He is also the 2nd youngest player to ever debut in a NBA game by just 2 days after LeBron James. LeBron is a legend and had an all time great rookie season. In looking at a few all star level players that were all either a year or two older than Flagg I learned that many of them didn’t do great either in their first game.
Kawhli Leonard 6pts/2of9/6rbs/2asst/1TOs,
Paul George 4pts/1of5/3rbs/2asst/3TOs,
Scottie Pippen 10pts/4of7/1rbs/4asst/4TOs,
Scottie Barnes 12pts/5of13/9rbs/1asst/6TOs
Plus it didn’t help Flagg that he’s playing out of position, his team has no starting point guard to set him up and he had to go up against a freak center like Wemby and elite defender in Castle
Cooper Flagg's welcome to the NBA moment 😂😂
Why did they make such a big deal about this show ending. If it never actual ended
If cooper was black these guys would call out anyone critiquing him and saying he's new and still has to get his bearings and people are just racist.
Wasn't the last season the last one from Inside the NBA?
Apparently they've never seen D'Angelo Russell play defense. To be fair, none of us have.
Jokic 3/4 of the way through the season: Yeah he has the greatest offensive production in the history of the NBA this season but we really need to see how he finishes to determine if he's MVP (and he doesn't win).
Wemby in game 1 of the season: He is the MVP.
Crazy to call for D’Angelo Russell to start.
so weird seeing them in espn and not tnt
Inside The NBA is better than NBA Countdown no one should ever take away from the 4 guys in the Studio J Atlanta they’re not replacing Ernie Shaq Kenny Charles they’re the reason why they covering the NBA Finals on ABC like come on now I’ve been waiting for this moment for Inside The NBA to cover the NBA Finals I need ESPN to realize that Ernie Shaq Kenny Charles are the best Inside The NBA crew ever since they left TNT they kept the same energy and the same music same studio in Atlanta please keep Stephen A Smith Kendrick Perkins off our show in Atlanta we don’t want our fans upset about this
I hate to be that guy but if Dallas put him at PG to begin his career, that's probably because he can't do the necessary stuff at 3/4/5. That's bad.
This is gonna be Ben Simmons all over again.
This YouTube channel is about to skyrocket with new subscribers and millions and millions and millions of views now that Inside the NBA is on ESPN 🙏🏾
Yall heard it here first Wemby will dominate for 3 more years then will deteriorate with injury after injury. All players 7’4 and taller fall to the same thing
Wait Shaquille O'Neal is giving advice to young men to play like Wemby like they're all seven foot 8 in tall lol
Cooper is a forward he ain't no Luca
I mean sometimes coaches play their Rookies at a different position so they can get better in other aspect of their game. Doesn't Wemby play PG sometimes during games? But is it his officlal position ? Cooper is gonna develop many skills and he has to play different positions to get there…
Can you imagine tim duncan playing alongside victor ???
Imagine being AD’s size and knowing if you attempt to contest a shot you’ll probably injure yourself for 4-5 weeks, just retire
If only the Mavericks had a generational talent
Flagg is a central casting, perfectly designed small forward. I don't get the modern NBA. At all.
Don't lose too much weight Chuck!
When all the NBA players involved in this crime are busted, Reed Sheppard might make the all-star game this year.
Cooper is still in awe he's in NBA😯 After the shock fades he's gonna be balling.
Play him. Okc winning the next 4
Great passer with 0 assists??? Mavs still have no ball handler or team leader. Maybe ky will help with that but he has a lot of miles in the nba
Counting on DLo to be the starting PG on a team with championship aspirations aint gonna work
Jason Kidd is ruining his legacy. Anyone with a little basketball knowledge knows Coop is not a point guard. He is a decent short forward and nothing more. Coop is not Luka
