Julian check out college basketball this year. Insane freshman this year. All on good teams gonna be in March madness this year. I think itâs gonna set a good one and done culture again. Which Cooper Flagg started up again. I agree with Colin point about the G league
I also think and additional âallure/marketingâ company is Cooper Flagg being white. The last âgreatâ white American player was Larry Bird. Whether this should or shouldnât matter isnât important, it automatically creates a wave of more interest as itâs not âthe normâ. Will be great to watch Coop continue to grow and develop! Also this 2025 draft class is already looking like it has a chance of being an all time great class!
No, Luka could never be "face of the league" He cries to the refs, doesn't play defense, doesn't stay in shape, and is a ball hog. You think players like playing with Luka?
LeBum never dominated shit he was in a weak east n joined super teams he needed better players to carry his bum ass you donât know ball yall keep on with these lies you nerd. Kobe would have 10-15 rings in the weak ass east đ
I am not a Cowherd fan but he is right here and this kid with the $150 haircut is an idiot and is wrong. The only reason there hasn't/isn't a true face of the league in the NBA is because they just haven't had a player that transcends basketball since MJ. Before that it was Magic/Bird. They transcended the game and became part of the culture for the "entire country". So did Jordan. In years past there were players who could have been that person. They tried with Shaq first but he was too abrasive for a lot of people. Next was Kobe but you are always gonna have that sect of people that sees him as a rich, spoiled guy who got off of serious sexual assault charges because of who he was.. So he's out. For a while it seemed like there was a chance it would be Lebron but it just never fully materialized because just as many people dislike him as like him. Still to this day. Curry couldn't be "that guy" for different reasons. Even though it really isn't true, many of the millions of fans that would relate to a "face of the league" have always had the attitude/belief that as great as Curry was/is, he was a one trick pony and it was the trick millions of fans wish would get nerfed. The never ending 3's.. He also didn't have the personality or the perceived never ending competitiveness that is required for the person Cowherd is referring to. So… there have been people who had a chance and the league has tried to make it happen. However, for a bunch of different reasons it just never happened. I think what Cowherd might be driving at (and he may be right) is that Flagg probably has a better chance to actually become that player that defines the NBA than any player since MJ. This guy has never lived in one of those eras or, experienced what it is like to have an NBA star/personality who fully transcends basketball and becomes the true face of the league. It's never existed for him so he thinks it doesn't exist. He had no clue what that looks like… I hate to say this but this is a prime example of one of those times when your getting schooled, and you really don't know anything about the subject so you should just enjoy the class.. Long way to go for Flagg obviously but incredibly, so far this has been the rookie season that (if someone ever does become the face of the league again) is required of THAT guy. I do agree about the matchup thing.. You have to at least have people trying to take them down. But honestly, that is secondary when you have one of those ultra rare unicorns. "IF" the game fully materializes for him. MJ never had anyone that defined the matchup he is pushing.. Instead he had a series of unworthy usurpers who were more than enough to perpetuate MJ. that Flagg "could" actually be..

This is where Colin shines is when he talks about the business of sports
