Cooper Flagg Highlights Thread

[Knutsen]

Back with honestly the most hype video of Flagg online. 

Some background: Flagg reclassified his senior year, meaning he graduated highschool a year early, and entered college as a freshman 1 year earlier than planned. In this video, Flagg recently turned 17, and was starting his freshman year at Duke 2 months later. 

He was the ONLY non-NBA player invited to the Olympics Select practice squad. The squad featured Brandin Podziemski, Brandon Miller, Keegan Murray, Amen Thompson, Jalen Duren, Trey Murphy III, Jabari Smith Jr, Payton Pritchard, and Jamie Jaquez to name the notable NBA players. Everyone else either was in the NBA or was a free agent at the time. 

Cooper checks in at 4:35 in the video, but I strongly encourage you to watch the entire 16 minutes. But from 4:35 to 16 minutes, you truly see how good Cooper Flagg is. Not only does he dominate, but you just hear the laughs from the crowd as Flagg is breaking Jrue Holiday's ankles, boxing out Bam, and hitting 3s over AD. My favorite part? The fact at the end how mad he is that he didn't get the last shot.

Here‘s a great long article going back to Flagg growing up that shows very well who he is as a player and as a person - very good read in my opinion, looking forward to him becoming a Mav: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/4227...oper-flagg
