Beast.
Goat
This is just unbelievable. Cooper is absolutely godlike – he’s perfect, an absolute killer. What he’s doing, no one has ever done before.
I’m grateful to God that I get to witness this – to watch what he’s done and how he’s doing things no one in history has even come close to. It’s insane. He’s not just breaking dozens of records every game, he’s setting records that probably no one will ever touch.
His first season – already more than three 40+ point games, and now a 50+ point game.. at 19 years old. How can anyone doubt what he’ll reach in his prime? He could be going after Wilt Chamberlain-type records.
And here's the full stats:
51 POINTS
6 REBOUNDS
3 ASSISTS
3 STEALS
1 BLOCK
19/30 FG
6/9 3PT
7/7 FT

Next season we will be more of a threat for sure i wish the best for all our rookies and take this season as a season of learning and improvement
Help is on the way this summer 🤞🏾
Wait till he get his pippen!
Can you imagine the Mavs pulling the first pick again
What a beast. I’m so excited to see what he accomplishes. I grew up in the burbs of Chicago and will always consider Jordan the goat. But this kid is crushing it!!!!
