I mean not that I'm rooting for it to happen, but co rookie of the year is still a thing. They may not just actually pick one or the other.
Now its he doesnt have the help but prior to the mf season starting yall had charlotte winning 22-23 games…stop it yall clearly dont want kon to win but dont sit up here and act like yall actually watch the hornets like that or enough to give kon an fair assessment outside of what the media has said…
Flagg is my ROTY, but if Kon wins, I would not be mad at all.
Kon has his starting 5 nd they fighting for play in while in the easy injured east 😂 Cooper playing with the backup for the bench bro😂 it’s coop nd not a question if he had his starting 5 they would be in playoffs
Lebron didn't have a better year than Carmelo. Carmelo pts and fga was better and plus he was in the playoffs
The guy with scratches on his arm is clearly the ROTY. Pooper Flagg was crowned from the beginning of the year.
KaNipple earned his right to be in the ROTY conversation.
Kon is the tougher player that clearly affects winning more.
Yes, winning matters. Playing for empty and selfish stats while losing doesn't deserve an award.
Winning is why we play the game
Kon got it in the bag
Cooper a better player but Kon had the better overall season
Lebron didn't have the better rookie season than Carmelo more fake narratives
Me, i should be
Bucks messed up again when they said GA refused to participate in 3 on 3 practice. They didn't do everything to protect GA and thought only about themselves. GA, they catered to you, but for their own selfish reasons. It wasn't about team, nor you, or to win. You should be sick of this by now.
It's not difficult anymore. These last 2 games was Cooper Flagg taking the award from Kon. 2 weeks ago I was like they should split it. Now I'm like it's Flagg's award.
Flagg is ROTY, no question
Jon is a beast tho…to have the GREATEST Shooting numbers for ANY Rookie EVER is legendary
I'm going to end the debate right here right now for good. Kun kuneipel will be the rookie of the year. His team is in the playoff play in and cooper is not. You can blame Dallas Mavericks for botching his rookie season for draft picks.
They can share it it has been done before
7:47 "Giannis is not known to be a liar…" Maybe not. But does lying through obfuscation count? He had the whole world believing he was ready to move at the deadline–Acting all emotional in post-game interviews–Only the for the whole thing to be a marketing ploy for a betting site. Entire franchises held up their trade deals to see what he would do. He's a diva. Tired of this saga. 🥱
🍿
Them running him at point gaurd was jus j kidd helping him stat pad
they just let anyone vote😂😂
8:15 😂😂 she put him on the spot. Hey brotha R&B is loved by many across the 🌎.
Just make the co – ROY. Simple then no debating. Just think 2 college teamates together become co- ROY's. Now that would be great NBA news!!
I'm taking Coop all day😎💯
All Kon has is more 3s? What’s happening here?
It's close but Flagg with the end of season momentum plus his popularity. he gonna win
Im giving it to knueppel, he literally made lamelo ball take basketball serious. Plus scoring wise are we really going to give flagg a cookie he score 40 twice on the no D lakers, and both the magic and jazz. I mean really
Cooper being asked to lead a team and Kon is being asked to play a role. Nuff said
Man Cooper Flagg’s last name is going to get someone to slip up terribly on live television or radio someday
I like kon
It’s really who the voters want to win let’s be serious
