Cooper Flagg on the Dan Patrick Show Full Interview | 11/08/23

[@SingleTrackMined]

I played with Cooper's grandfather at Nokomis back in the day. I'm 66 and never thought I'd see a prospect from my home town, Newport, ME. Love Cooper's attitude - "I just play my game'. Thanks, Dan

[@adverseinperpetuity]

His confidence without being arrogant is remarkable for his age.

[@chrisaustin4115]

Thats what happens from playing with NBA players etc

[@Matt-lk8ys]

That could also be a "grew up in the middle of nowhere" thing. Im from southern Maine and it's two different worlds to where this kid grew up haha

[@chrisaustin4115]

@Matt-lk8ys growing up in the middle of nowhere more often leads people to big fish small pond God complexes, than it does humbleness. So that seems unlikely. You never know though, depends on the area and his parents more than anything

[@Matt-lk8ys]

@chrisaustin4115 have you ever met a home schooled person that acted a little "different" because of a lack of social interaction? That's how pretty much everyone in the part of the state he's from is

[@chrisaustin4115]

@@Matt-lk8ys whatever you say dude

[@javierdelgado1554]

The kid was very even keel and calm for his age...it seems like nothing fazes him...i like his down to earth personality.

[@markbeavers5747]

Wow Dan, we are the same age 67 years old, still love the game of Basketball too. Good luck Cooper Flagg!!

[@jermainehamilton]

His demeanor is impressive

[@Kev33943]

Lets go!!

[@musicmakemehigh7170]

This is why Dan Patrick is great.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

My friend told me Cooper was kind of a wannabe, and not that theres anything really wrong about that, but I dont hear that at all.
He seems like an intelligent and real person that I imagined he was. Am I wrong on this?

[@liva236muzika]

Calm guy. Talks clearly. Says a lot about a person.

[@Cubanlinx63]

Dan did the best he could. You are not going to get anything interesting from a 16 year old in an interview.

[@RiderRescue]

I thought it was VERY interesting how calm, poised and even keel the kid was. I think THAT said it all.

[@JK-br1mu]

Cooper will be great if he doesn't let getting swatted a few times by better leapers get him down, and keeps playing as aggressively as he did in high school.......he's got good leaps now, but it's not like Mike or Lebronze or anything, so he will get rejected on some of those dunks.......hopefully, his leaps get even better though, that would help.

[@user-tn7nn4fi4b]

He literally just admitted to High schools recruiting lol

[@Zaghzackio]

Everyone knows Montverde recruits 😂 he didn't uncover some hidden truth

[@joshuamedley7527]

I think private schools can do that

[@SoSikWitIt]

@@joshuamedley7527 any school can my school does that all the time for football and sometimes basketball but its rare that basketball works out

[@ufa621]

😈

[@timrasmussen5607]

So glad he doesn’t talk like Tyler Herro.

I accidentally got up and fixed chow mein and I don`t even like Chinese food.

[@yeahitsme1401]

Who tf is this?

[@SoTurtles]

future number 1 pick

[@yeahitsme1401]

@SoTurtles so potentially in 6-7 years he might be somebody we know? 🤣

[@kb5509]

​@@yeahitsme1401how long do you think he'll be in college, a decade?

[@spoooky21]

His goal is one and done in college lol. That's the difference between college basketball and football right there.

[@Neotidus]

@@kb5509yes, 6 or 7 years is a decade

[@TranswarpXL]

He's got the same amount of personality as wet paint.

[@thedatajanitor9537]

He's nervous. We don't need more "personality" like Draymond in the NBA. We need class and this kid has it.

[@TranswarpXL]

@@thedatajanitor9537 Immediately going to Draymond is a weird tell.

[@Matt-lk8ys]

He's from a part of Maine where he probably didn't have much social interaction outside of his neighbors

[@YeIIowNBA]

And what does that say about you, he just turned 17 and you’re saying his personality is like wet paint like the kids media trained.

[@thedatajanitor9537]

@@TranswarpXL Yep. Means I'm really fucking smart.

[@trobertson1825]

Who cares

[@toddrichardson8595]

Why are you watching then? Genius

[@Matt-lk8ys]

This kid is the projected #1 pick in the 2025 draft... a lot of people care
