RICK BARRY – LARRY BIRD – COOPER
He's a Kobe Bird.
He's HIM.
It’s crazy how obvious it was Flagg would be a star. Fundamentals, work ethic, high IQ, outlier athleticism. This was all clear. Yet emotional narratives made people hate him before he even played 10 games. The masses are ridiculous.
Maybe a white Dominque Wilkins.
Flagg got so much room to grow, and he's a borderline all star today
Take the rookie tag off and he is producing All Star numbers this season. Yes fringe all star numbers on the offensive side but his defensive skillset more than makes up for it along with his passing improving.
They need to change the voting format as in the East Josh Hart getting more nods than Paolo Banchero and Scottie Barnes. This era hates defensive 2-way players. Look at what Jaylen Brown is doing in Boston right now.
Magic – Bird is the best comp….And he is only 19.
Two way demon out there lol 😂
his an all star already!!! already moving like maybe top 25 player in the league? hahaha
Like the win but at the same time TANK FOR AJ. We can have a star duo locked up for the next decade we need to get this right.
Hey Coop, I know you or your teammates are reading this.
Coop, you don't have the muscles yet to be flexing so much. Most of the other players D'ing you up are bigger and stronger. You still need to put on some bulk with those scrawny muscles.
This is just an opinion, but I think you should flex less and develop your own celebration move… just until you get muscles. Then you can go back to the flexing.
The greatest American white boy baller since Bird. He should start this year in the All-Star game
COOPERRRRR
He can develop as Giannis within 4-5 years , other than assists number , if he develop as 80% of Jokic type , he will be an all star to super star
Those stupid based on his first 3-5 games to judge he is a bust , that is stupid , he is a rookie and he was invited to USA basketball training team to face those super star , and he was playing well , other than injury factor , Flagg shows he is good enough to play in the NBA
i'd take cooper over doncic. better athleticism's n better defense
luka left us a huge hole in our hearts. but I'm starting to believe that cooper can patch up that hole. thank you coop! <3
19 year old rookie looking like the best 2 way player on the floor in a NBA game.
If this mfer turns into a high 30 % 3 pt shooter, he could deadass average 40
Good game coop. Needing to lose but the nets are just absolutely dog shit bad
He is shooting 43% on 3s his last 12 games. Impressive. He gets better with each month. Kid is already a borderline star and will become a superstar. One of the top 5 best players in the league in a few years
One of the very few 5 tool players in the NBA…but as a rookie. And he has one of the best handles ever for a guy 6'10".
He is doing more than our boy Klay Thompson. But still 4 rings matters and the 3rd greatest shooting guard of all time.
Super 🌟
Guys, lets make flagg an all star!
Flagg has been given the key to the franchise, the Mavs are finding out that Cooper aint the man and can not be the number one option…sinking to get back in the top ten in the next draft
Larry James
