First
mavs fans: would you rather have Luka and everything to go back to normal, or keep the current timeline with a potential great new star??
the difference between Toronto and Ontario is the same difference between Cleveland and Ohio
Shout out to Earl Sweatshirt for finally reachin' the Nba
excited for this let’s gooooo 😌
I wanna know Cooper’s perspective and experience facing against Victor Wembanyama in the game opener this season… he had never played against him before and that was his first time meeting him and it just so happened to be one of the most dominant games of Victor Wembanyama I’ve ever seen 😂 .. that has to be part of his welcome to the NBA moment
Love the basketball upvote graphic too! EVERYONE BE SURE TO UPVOTE!
Love these three dudes and even though Mavs are in a rough spot right now, they're gonna be TROUBLE soon
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP COOP! You got plenty of winning ahead of you.
Nah I like coop , w white boy
coop MIGHT have ADHD
Coop's stats on the pod: 21 phone checks, 1020 leg fidgets, 3 "i dont really care"s, and 0 max christie stories listened to, but overall he got the job done
Get Cade Cunningham on here
flagg episode is crazyyy love that yall got ryan on here too W pod man
Need ryan to stay around he’s the goat man
Mavs fan here. Cooper’s of course had a historic rookie year, but Max Christie has been outstanding all season – only 23, shoots the lights out (40% from 3) and an excellent defender. With Kyrie back and a likely top-5 pick (probably the first PG off the board), this team will be much improved next year.
I love my Mavs
Let’s goooooooo
Our guys 💙🤍
he’s gonna get traded to the Celtics in 2029 and it’s gonna shake the world
Let’s go Mavs…our future
The voters better not rob Cooper 🙅♂️🚫! He's top 5 in all rookie offensive and defensive metrics ! HE'S THE ROY! MINIMUM CO-ROOKIE!
Much love coop , max & Ryan. Yah need to keep trying & get better can't wait to see yah develop
That nigga cooper did not wanna be there
I hope Coop stays in Dallas for long time he so chill like dirk and Luka
10 mins in and haven’t asked max one question cmon bro
Wait, so did Cooper follow one specific NBA team growing up? If so, was it the Celtics? He likes Larry Bird the most, so I would assume Celtics…but in the 2023 Finals which team was he cheering for lol
Max Christie with the patience of a saint lol
20:37 is he a great recruiter or is it just that he coach’s at Duke and players wanna play there and they have the NIL money
Cooper Flagg my lord and savior
get a new host
shoutout ryan nembhard
Im sorry but this might be worse host of all time. The transition into these questions were so abrupt and terrible
Max CHRISTIE LOOK LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON IN THE WIZ…
25 minutes in and didn’t even thrown Max Christie a bone lol
We get to add Kyrie Irving to these 3
