Cooper Flagg showed Team USA that he is the next superstar coming through the basketball ranks. These are the full highlights of his scrimmage with the Olympic Team. #bluewirevideo
Kinda hard to calm down when the title says next Lebron and Steph. Plus it came out today he college basketballs # 1 player and he hasn’t played a game. He’s good but people have their right to be skeptical
That is a 17 year old playing with players like LeBron, AD, and Tatum.. The scum on here talking nonsense, saying he made a couple of good plays, but he ain't MJ.. No shit lol.. BUT he is that dude who got invited to scrimmage against NBA (Team USA) talent at 17 years old and a teenager who, in the first time in over a decade, got an invite coming out of high school.. That said, Duke needs to get him in their strength and conditioning asap. He was getting pushed and out muscled in the paint (again, he's only 17 years old)
Old head here...Imagine if the world had been this connected when a young Michael Jordan went undefeated...8-0 against a team of NBA all-stars. The world would have gone nuts.
Ok so the now viral sequence where he hits a three and then gets an and 1 on a put back… most impressive part imo is the part where he’s able to handle the ball while getting pressured by jrue. 17 years old 6’10 handling the ball vs a premiere perimeter defender checks a box.
People love to talk saying he ain’t doing nun yet yall ain’t balling with the best in the world. Where yall at? He is playing. You guys can only watch.
I love that he is a Larry Bird fan. More realistically his game could be very similar to young KD when he enters the league. Looking forward to hm, Edwards, Luka going at it for the next decade. Since Zion is injury prone we need a new phenom.
Not a bad showing in his First hall of fame ALL Star game comp...after playing highschoolers forever. Just wait when he catches up and puts the gas on. IF.
The kid is 17 and he's playing against not D1 stars, not G-leaguers, but freaking NBA elites. Even with all the misses, we can see his varied skillset and skill-high potential, this is very impressive!
Lol there hasn't been a white American superstar player since Larry Bird. No matter how great they look in high school/college they never pan out in the league.
If you a baller you can see he different...handles,shoots,rebounds,defends,high IQ and he still a child...I'd say he's a Kevin Garnett/Tracy mcgrady hybrid...no injuries he could be him
Lifelong Duke fan, and I kind of see the comparison. CF, makes quicker decisions, and is better defensively. Paolo, is a lot stronger. I think they have similar ceilings.
Send the scrimmage team to the olympics! NBA overpaid "stars" barely survived. Scrimmage team showed heart. NBA players showed desperation. Scrimmage team will only improve - NBA team is old and headed downhill - fast.
How many other children you know that could get enough space to knock down a 3 with AD in their face? You know how good you gotta be just to be able to dribble down the court against LITERALLY the best players in the world? As a kid that hasn’t even played a college game yet? Cmon. 20 years ago he would’ve went straight to the NBA outta high school.
@@ER1CNOIR slow down Cooper Flagg had underwelming stats in High School. RJ Barett was a monster in high school averaging 30 PPG Cooper Flagg is no where near that. Cooper Flagg should be dominating high school basketball but he is not.
This guy is way over hyped imo. He's almost 7 feet tall meaning the basket is literally 3 feet taller than you. Yeah you're decent now but you have no muscle and no testing yet. This dude is most likely going to average 12 points a game in the big show. Plus dude looks like Walter White's son all grown up.
COOPOER FLAGG is great but this is the least impressive highlight reel ever. Shows 5 missed shots. A couple 10' -15' shots made and a missed free throw 3 fouls and 2 turnovers. The only impressive highlight was flying through the air finish. This title of clip is #CLICKBAIT
Not bad he didnt dominate but he showed a nice array of skills. Biggest weaknesses right now are defense, strength, and rebounding positioning (which will be helped once he gets stronger)
He plays very very very polished for a 17 year old his height. His handles are already great. I dont know his position though. He can become dominant if he became a scoring point. But I don’t know.
