Bunch of tourists in the comments.
No idea what they’re talking about.
So the new NBA:
Best young shooter? White kid
Best overall rookie? White kid
MVP? White guy
Just laughing at all the years of the blacks saying white people can’t play ball.
Man king LeBron was hitting jumpers rookie year stop it windy
So scary that he's going to end up in miami!
greek freak……thunder? it makes so much sense i hate it can’t happen
Windy is clearly glazing . The mavs didnt "tank" to get flagg.. they were gifted him through collusion and deception. Im glad cooper is finding his rhythm and playing well.. but if they get another number 1 pick the faith in the nba product will fall as it is already dwindling. Most fans r just waiting for the playoffs now smh
Giannis and shay is like disciplined shaq and kobe repeat 😎
Cooper flagged is the modern day Larry Bird
Wemby the NEXT face of the league Brian, respect that man😂
Windy don’t need a platform lol
SOCIAL MEDIA KILLED ESPN…..ESPN GOING WITH THE “CROWD”……
Cooper the only thing keeping Mavs nation a float
Them Duke boys are different
How is lebron more polished than cooper at same age ,thats cap more fan boyism
But kahn is better than coop!
Enough with Golden State they have nobody the Bucks want and no young player with a high ceiling. Minnesota has nothing to offer why waste our time mentioning. Spurs, OkC, and Houston are the only teams in West that make sense for the Bucks. Heat and Hawks are the only teams in the East
Bruh If I'm Giannis I'll go to the knicks cause he did say he wants to be in a big market … Uhh New York plus I can see them going against Lakers in the NBA Finals in the next coming years
The NBA is so bad they trying to create stars
Rookie Flagg: 19pts 6 rebs 4 asts
Rookie Doncic: 21pts 8 rebs 6 asts
No he’s not the best rookie since Lebron
and Doncic had a worse rookie team than Flagg cause he still has AD and Kyrie on his side
He sounds like he wants to take him down
Nick Wright did it 1st w Giannis to OKC
To bad Flagg is on such a crappy team that makes him carry the entire load with him
1:46 Windy lying through his teeth, the Mavs did not get Flagg because they tanked, they got him as a stimulus for giving up Luka. FOH with that bs
Would you do 4 first round picks for Giannis?
I don't want to hear women talk about the NBA unless it's DB
Dirk luk coop
J Kidd’s done an excellent job of developing Cooper’s all around offensive game. This season is clearly a bust for the Mavs with the injuries. But, by focusing on developing Cooper’s game, J Kidd is setting the team up for future success, especially if they land a high pick in next year’s draft to join Cooper and other young players like Max and Lively.
Never a point in Lebron's career his game can be described as "polished", what is Windy talking about? 😂
Windy throwing shades at Luka for no reason is crazy 😂
okc shld pull the plug
Monica catching everybody in the comments off guard is hilarious 😂
Shows how watered down the league is. Cooper Flagg and Kneuppel would have been another Adam Morrison and JJ reddick if he was drafted in the 90s to 2019
If OKC gets Giannis you might as well forget it for the next six years.
Stephen A just wants to be in Cali for the finals 😂
Monica tryna b the Female Cam Newton 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒😒😒😒
i can’t stand the bulls man
Williams + Dort + Hartenstein and picks works for Steph.
If our collective goal as an NBA community is to keep him in the mix.
Greatest shooter God has ever created is Ant.
I always forget about the Warriors because media never covers them.
Warriors 26' and 28' picks are the least valuable assets I have ever read about in the history of the world. Especially if the add Giannis. Bucks would be morons to settle for that.
Defenses are much weaker today than back in the day however….
Monica look like she about to be a guest on reading rainbow.
sick of listening to women talk about men's basketball.
It seems like everyone that guards him let him go by. Just watch his next game ,
Boi u crazy he not no LBJ
The feature of the NBA you are silly boy
It’s only one year till say that they’re the future of the NBA. You’re crazy consistency. Do it over a period of time not just one year.
I can see Cooper Flagg, but the kid in Charlotte😅😅😅😅
There were a couple teenagers named Kobe and KG who were pretty good too.
Why does she look like that?
He be selling out. You’ve been asking for Giannis for years. Now there is no better time than ever to tell him to come and you say t’wolves
