When I found out his nickname was the “Maine Event”. I was sold 😭.
That’s hard. I like that
That's a good one 😂Yep, can't help but be sold from that
Hard asf !
Trying to colonize the name
Main event is a street ball legend
@@ducekong7878Always gotta be that one weirdo talking about colonization.. the first black slave owner officially owned a black slave in the early 1600's. Your own been doing it to your own over 400 years 😂
Gilbert can see the potential in Bronny but taking about “we’ll see” with Cooper lol
FACTS...
Bronny is next up with a high ceiling, but Flagg is “alright”😂. Can’t make this ish up.
These mfs are insane
Klutch Sports programming
@@shoptalkconvo-mak1471 Gil’s tryna get in with Rich Paul n em for his son son
Leave Bronny alone!
Main Bronny knows he ain’t deserve shit.
They were so uncomfortable talking about the white dude. So sad yet so funny at the same time. 😂
Gill stuttering his way through sentences and long awkward pauses when talking about the white guy. The racism is real with that one 😂😂
Seriously lolol 🤣🤣
Bro it’s so toxic… in other sports like F1 Lewis Hamilton is embraced for being black in a white sport? Yet here we are in the NBA… disgusting honestly
Prejudice. Racism is racial group systemic prejudice
Fr, next level
no racism would be not talking about him at all, shoved him under the rug and discrediting him! even if they are visibly uncomfortable, who gives a fak they’re still talking about him and not discrediting him as a good az player! see we don’t do what white people do. If he’s good, he’s good they didn’t overlook him so get it straight non-athletic jrcks
Man Gil cant let nobody have they moment.😂 says bronny next up but Cooper is just "alright"... foh lol
Nothing guaranteed. He gotta prove it for a season
@@Dollar-zb2ik and what exactly has bronny done to deserve his praise?
@b.r3228 Bronny got LeBron. Gil tryna get on Bron's payroll 😂
Gil on that Klutch Sports payroll 😂
Bro I died when k mart said if I had a volleyball 🏐 in my hood lol 😆 😂 🤣 😂😂😂
Black folk won’t play volleyball because they’d get called lgbtqp 😂😂
Kenyon was lowkey funny at the end there with that volleyball thing 😂😂😂
And usually them same dudes clowning you are 50 years old and did nothing with their lives
Its real though. I graduated from same high school BA in dallas. Aint no volleyball allowed. They would clown your ass@@CZcamsTroll38
I can’t listen to anything Gil says about reviewing talent until bronny actually becomes a NBA talent
lol facts
Gil says crazy things regardless. As far as Bronny, it’s a wait and see thing like most 2nd round draft picks and even some 1st rounders. We’ve seen number 1 overall picks be complete busts and seen late 2nd rounders turn into HOFers. It all depends on how they work
Y’all so fixated on a 2nd rd pick. What did their 1st rd pick do last yr.
Gil trains with Bronny, so he represent. Unfortunately bronny sucks not even a D3 player irl
Yall mad bronny in the nba lol 😂
Gil almost started crying when he was reminiscing on the 2001 Championship loss to Duke.
Kenyon was right, that kid is a freak. He's going to be getting ALOT of money to play on sundays
Hopefully he'll play the rest of the week also 😂😂😂😂😂😂
(You used a football reference 😊😊)
I don’t think Kenyon Martin understand how hard it is to play at that size lol they just want to make football seem sooooo easy
@@andreharris3428guys built like copper have more success transitioning than almost any other type.
@@will-zj5gqHe isn't talking about Cooper Flagg transitioning to Football
@@timdobin5722 that’s not what i said at all
I know Danny Ainge in Utah is foaming at the mouth to get Cooper Flagg 😂
Let me guess cuz he's white . Smh let me know you prejudice. Good look
You know they always draft the Top White Players coming out the draft. Only the exceptional ones 🤣
LOL
@@mjohnson510 name them?? I'll wait..
@@ryankellzstockton hayward thorton stokes
This was very nuance & clear analysis on Cooper.
Shout out to whoever (hope they paying you well) on production staff cuz they really kno how to create the most engagement bait title.
🤣
Gil doesn't want to talk about White players
lil hater
give it a rest general Waters
for real, everything that's non black american he's got an issue with
Yet he chooses to live in a neighborhood surrounded by them.. 😂 I always find that hilarious. As soon as they get money they move as far away from their people as possible 😂
@@EriktheRaids82D they want to live in safe environment, not necessary White, I guess
@@sender5804they cry r@cism while being the ones actually r@cist while living ina neighborhood majority white 🤣 rich black dudes are crazy sometimes
Imagine being 17 years old and one summer evening your in a gym hooping against nba all stars getting them ready for the Olympics
Going to be a whole lot of tanking trying to get that #1 pick.
Nets , or Wizards are my pick.
Its the best strat in capture the Flagg
"Celtics and Jazz fans salivating" "The SAVIOR!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂
If it was the wnba they be yapping about how he has white privilege and that's why he is on the select team😂
My bad didn't mean to reply to your comment was supposed to be on the normal comment thread
Bro clearly forgot about the pacers lmao
@@Whatdoesthefoxsay_ Ur good bro
@@Whatdoesthefoxsay_ How about they say he is DEI? 😂
FLAGG Is & Has Been Legit…!!! Can’t wait to see him in The NBA…!!!
Why are you yelling ? Da f
The Spurs rubbing their hands in anticipation...lol
@@OPGrimmz😂😂😂
@@OPGrimmz Mind Your F’Ing Business Butch…!!! This is my DAMN IPAD BITCH…!!! I Type How The Fuck I Feel LIKE IT BITCH…!!!
@@31hoops73 he not till he prove it
12:02 this is why we grow up playing everything. Even doing a form of martial arts. You take the skills you learn from one sport, and apply it to the next sport
Not even just sports…tap dance and ballet and gymnastics helped me have quick ass footwork and be flexible
"SET IT!" Over the volleyball bump is HILARIOUS!!!!
The NBA should not allow the Spurs to draft him.
That would be crazy asf lf Vic & Cooper Flagg ends up on the Spurs together
Spurs won’t get him
Why not? No way in hell someone like him should be ruined being drafted by Detroit or the Knicks.
Cause it’s happening if they don’t stop it 😂😂
Nope I want to see it
gil is such a hater….. if he was black gil would be going crazy demanding he be on the team
Cooper Flagg gonna be the tallest and one of the best small forwards
Michael porters frame and already close to if not better
@@whooptywoo1399😂 Better than an NBA champion? We haven’t seen Cooper play a single game in college, let alone the NBA.
Huh ?! lol he has 0 small forward ability 🤣🤣
We will see.He maybe or he could be a disappointment
@@brandonpenn9887 He is changing the position as we know it. you have pointgod, joker, greek freak, and then you have whatever this giant small foward is who goes by the name of "main event". he can win the skills challenge as a rookie and ima leave it at that.
The visual of Kmart with a volleyball and knee pads has my guts exploding 😜🤣🤣🤣
Kenyon said playing LT ain't really playing football to me....until he gotta block Myles Garrett 😂
He buggin. He don’t know about the real trenches(I play linebacker and running back)
Once they figure out "leverage"
Being TALL isn't the best thing
If your kid is a football player you need to put him in wrestling cause there is no hiding there it will make him technically strong and footwork and if he timid eventually he'll come forward
Being a historical student of the game, gils should know that the first scrimmage game in 1992 was thrown by the head coach to show them that they could be beaten if the jist got out there and messed around. MJs mins was seriously limited as well ....all part of the planned game plan for them to lose by the head coach
Nobody trying to hear that bs they lost simple
@@jeremyrivens2867for real every player was a Hall of famer. They lost.
I think once Flagg gets that grown man frame he's going to be unstoppable, he already has a pros toolbox, is a willing defender and rebounder and can pass the rock while being a 3 level scorer. Year one he'll most likely be in the 20-5-5 ballpark across the board and year 2 most likely a 25-7.5-6 type dude and year 3 well we might have an all nba caliber type guy. Kid is going to crush the competition in the NCAA
Cooper is the true definition of more than a athlete 👏🏽👏🏽😏
Thx you Gil for calling out that bs 92 slander......leaving out half the story.....shaking my head
Gil pissy his son isn’t ranked as high.
As he should be, have u seen his son?
His son is cold also. And he's top 3-4 in 2026. That's a huge drop from number 1. 😂
😂😂😂 Cooper like the White bron he would do Gil son dirty. He'll everybody son. Shooting and dribbling only.
I was watching the game and just realizing that Cooper was the only guy scoring for his team, effortlessly too, I might add. 😮
This kid should technically be entering his senior year of high school but declared a year early for college. He will be a top 5 player in the next 3 to 4 years easily.
Lmaooo jah literally said he use to play football 😂😂
Gil saying NFL is strength before skill.. isn't basketball just the same but with height? Guys like Boban are in the league because they're tall but they can barely even move. If there was a 7'4 strong athletic football player, you don't think a college would pick him up for basketball?
Boban is riding the bench..thats a horrible example..you have to be able to move well also its not just about height
No it’s not. 70% of the top NBA draft picks literally add strength AFTER they get to the league.
If you list the skills (NOT ATHLETECISM) required to play high level basketball and the skills required to play high level football side by side you’d get your answer.
Football literally has positions called skill positions. Logically that means the others are unskilled positions. There are way more unskilled positions……
@@shamrockgamer Right lol. I would love to see a basketball player who’s never played football before line up against Tyreek Hill on the outside.
Hey gill. That was the best way ive heard him talk the football/basketball sport swap debate yet. Nice

There are people who believed Prime could’ve went pro if he focused on basketball. He was a 3 sport superstar in HS.
Already getting the Caitlin Clark treatment!
11:35 the lineman will tell you otherwise.. the line is the real TRENCHES on the football field.. it wouldn’t be that easy of a transition 😂
If New York Knicks get the pistons protected pick next year. They may be able to get him. Flagg on the Knicks
It’s lottery protected. You think Flagg is gonna go number 15 in the draft 🤣? Knicks fans aren’t the brightest of the bunch
FUCK YEAH!!!!! Let’s Go Knicks!!!!!!
Gil was playing chess lol when bro said something about dapping Coach K up his silence was his answer lmao
Kmart always salty when someone better than his boy.
U sure about tht. Cuz his son has been in the NBA 4 2 years now
A lot of people better than his boy
Nope just sound like another great white hope
@@blasianbombflower8828you can join the haters too
@@blasianbombflower8828funny that the 2 best players in the NBA are white hopes🤔
Gil said...Cleak,,, lol
Kenyon lmaoooo. That volleyball sequence is funny
@13:30 K-MART KILLED ME 😂😂😂😂
HE FK’N RIGHT THOUGH….
Tim Duncan went to Wake Forest to swim. Basketball coach saw him during orientation and gave him a scholarship. The rest is history
Huh..?? Hahaha. No he didn't. Duncan stopped swimming at the age of 14 after his mother passed away and Hurricane Hugo destroyed the only Olympic swimming pool on the island where he lived. So he had to swim in the ocean where the sharks live and he lost his enthusiasm for it. Duncan averaged 25ppg his senior year and got offers from Wake Forest and only a couple other programs. Head coach Dave Odom saw Duncan play against Mourning in a pickup game and the rest is history.
@@Boss3Nateyeah this is right. Your comment is right.
🧢
Why do people come on the internet and just make up stories? 😂
Cooper flagg is one of best prospects I've ever seen he has no weakness elite defender good pass can shoot has a bag athletic he's like Tatum and pippen been a huge fan since 23 he's gonna be a top 5 player in 5 years mark my words
In 5 years we talking Shai , Antman , Tatum , Luka , Wemby , Holmgren , etc. It's gonna be a stretch to be top 5 in 5 years.
@@Bob-te3lezion, banchero**
top 5 idk bro who is he knocking oout giannis, jokic, luka emidd tatum n wemby n sga trying to get into thar top 5 slot idk bout top 5 in 5 years
Not even close to top 5. He does have clear weaknesses in his game, people just watch highlights. He’s going to be a great role player, but not a #1 option at the NBA level.
Huh?? Ever?
Gil & Kenyon: footballers play basketball different
Brandon: i hate basketball players with dreds
Newport Maine represent!!
He look colder than AD right now...
Martin is right. Remember julius pepper very good basketball player but hall of famer footballer
Peppers was also a generational freak. He didn’t play football till HS but not many can do that and end up a #2 overall pick.
Seems there are a good number of high level NFL Tight Ends who were converted to football from basketball.
@@JonReynoldsESQ There really isn’t. Gates, Gonzalez and Graham are the three major exceptions but it’s not a rule. Plenty of good-to-great TEs played basketball in high school but the same could be said about other positions playing multiple sports in HS.
@@Ginga outside of Charlie Ward are there any football players that did well in the NBA. And Charlie was a solid role player. Maybe Nate Robinson but I can't of anyone who was a top tier college football player who was a top level NBA player
@@jboogs49 Nope and you’ll never hear me argue that it’s easier for college football players to transition to the NBA than it is for college basketball players to do it to the NFL. My point was simply that college hoopers making it in the NFL isn’t that common period.
Its crazy this dude is my cousin, really distant but my last name is Flagg, my fathers father (my grandfather) had a brother Al Flagg, who had a son, who had a son named Ralph and thats Cooper and Aces Father, Im from Massachusettes and somewhere along the line some of the family moved to Maine and started a Winnebago/Mobile Camper business . My father passed away in 2019 before I ever heard of Cooper but knew I had family in Maine
The big kid going to Georgia played football growing up. He stopped as he grew a little too tall
facts
Saw the scrimmage still trying to figure out how he dominated...
It’s gotta be hyped this day and age
He had like 12 points 5 rebounds a block and a almost monster put back nigga u hi and on the best players in the NBA look how Zion turned out didn't he play for duke also and they said he might be a bust😂🤷🏿
i didn't hear anyone say that... they said he carried his weight
@@williamvb5139 - it literally says "dominating" (all caps) for the video...
@@shawna7813 lmao damn I missed that somehow. Pretty terrible title considering they never say that in the commentary
I ain’t gone lie my guys… Gil was Hatin a little - Flagg about to be cold chill out bro look like Bron in high school
Facts
Lmfao stop embarrassing yourself
No he doesn’t. But shiiiiiiiiiiiit I see why you make the comparison.
3:20 this foo sneakin a toke 😂😂😂
😂 I peeped that too lol
“Aye where that 🥷🏾 Gil at”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to Detroit!
Trash
Knicks own their 1st round pick in 2025
Pistons need some good vets. They don't need more kids. I hope they don't ruin Ausar.
What’s with their energy in this one? I get the overhyped white boy trope gets tired, but Flagg clearly isn’t your typical JJ Reddick.
He’s got real deal potential
That’s called racism playboy
Overrated media crowned great white hope
JJ Reddick played 15 NBA seasons. I'm sure Cooper Flagg would take that! Geesh
@@barrydoverful nah u right. JJ had a great career by all accounts
A conversation between Kenyon Martin and Wilt Chamberlain, on the issue of volleyball, would have been interesting indeed.
Been watching him since his sophomore year, that boy can play!
Homie is gonna be a problem
He’s already better than Kenyon Martin’s best
6’11” offensive tackle is gonna have a problem. If he’s tough he’ll make it but damn he’s got years of work to be anything.
Trent Williams bahahaha. Is physical af. Don’t even mention his name.
They comparing size and potential though. If he got a scholarship to Georgia he clearly is physical enough that they want him.
Exactly. A lot of technique to learn and leverage disadvantages to overcome to even be a decent NFL tackle, much less a future HoFer like Trent.
At 6'11 you'll need to be very heavy too to be strong enough to play, and at that point you are going to be less mobile to get up to the second level. Doubt he'll be able to catch a Linebacker. Guys that tall are better suited for DE tbh.
Also people forget the kid grew up playing football he just chose basketball.
Bro your a hater lol we all know he won’t be playing a down no time soon a team will have him on the practice squad for sure as a undrafted guy in like 3 years
Jahzere Jackson at Georgia playing tackle is INCREDIBLE🫡🫡
Kenyon was savage for that Volleyball take on the hood. 🤣🤣🤣
The Claw should retire
Gil ain’t hating he right cooper talented but we have seen this type of talent before he just has to stay consistent & really evolve to stay at the next level
Name them then.
Gil the same dude that said Bronny was legit nba material. I wouldn't take talent evaluation seriously coming from Gil.😂
If bronny getting drafted 54 this kid going top 5 lol
Gil not hating on white people? Come on now fam. STOP THE CAP
Do you understand the word hate
As a life long duke fan as well a alumni it’s always a pleasure to embrace our history hopefully this is a season to remember beyond our 5 chips since 2015… the zions… bagels….flips…watching lively as a rookie for mavs its a fair assessment to say we should have at least 8 maybe 9 chips on paper factor in this year another special talent Flagg… let’s go duke
Cooper is the real deal. Crazy skilled. Also select team in 1992 beat dream team because Michael didn't play. When he played the second game they won by like 50.
Can’t wait for the nba to rig the draft to get him to New York or La.
Stop yappin
Cooper Flagg will have a better legacy than the walking embarrassment that is Gilbert Arenas.
Arenas had a stellar career. 8 seasons over 17pts in the league is incredible. Not an easy feat.
@@wallstreetdropout no doubt
We in trouble almost losing to the scrimmage reserve team 😭🤣🤣🤣
The dream team ?
“The SAVIOR!!” 😂😂😂
This dude is a god in 2k sims iykyk
He proved he could play in the league right now!!!
Cooper Flagg's face shows he is a man of destiny.

I don’t know how hard the us team was playing . But kuddos to him making shots
It looked like the all-star game, so they put 150 % energy into who is able to look like he cares the least about the game.
Man idk why Gil tryna play. Like Flagg to me will be one of them 1s. Freak athlete, competitive on defense, his jumpshot is becoming more consistent, good IQ. Of course it’s a learning curve and he’s not a Wemby or Bron type prospect, but I believe he will be tuff in the league
@Brandon... I hate basketball players with dreads 😂😂😂
Kenyon would of got violated in Oak cliff if he would of came back with a volleyball 😂😂
Yep.
With basketball, you gotta have a certain amount of SKILLS to even get on court.
With football, athleticism comes first, then skills.
If you’re skilled and athletic at football, you can be a MAJOR problem on the field, but you can do A LOT of damage, just with your athleticism, and if you have the athleticism, they can always find a place for you and teach you some skills, it ain’t that easy with basketball.
Football “skills” is more of a list of “do’s and don’ts” than skills.
Knowledge of coverage etc, knowing where you’re supposed to be, where everyone else is supposed to be, what gaps to hit, what gaps NOT to hit 😂 etc.
Intangibles coupled with the athleticism sets you above the rest, but it’s not necessary to play the game at a high level.
An example would be Warren Sapp.
I saw him saying he was a tight end when he came into the league and the coach wanted him to play defense and Sapp said he didn’t know anything about defense and the coach said it would be fine. (Paraphrasing)
It definitely was fine.
The point being, the man made it all the way to the nfl only knowing how to play his position, then was able to switch to defense and become one of the best to play his position.
Plenty of players swap to totally different positions.
“Oh you’re not good enough to play QB at the pro level, but we can move you to WR.”
Happens all the time with different positions.
Not really the case with basketball.
You can be big, fast and jump higher than everyone else but if you can’t handle the ball at least a little bit, pass and shoot, you ain’t getting on the court.
All that being said Simple’s mathematics means football is an infinitely more complex sport.
22 players on the field versus 10.
Offense, defense, special teams..all separated from one another.
As such it’s very reasonable that a player could make it all the way to nfl only knowing his position.
It’s why knowledge of the game coupled with your athleticism puts you above everyone else.
Because it’s complicated and people tend to only know what they’re supposed to do. 😂
“Doing YOUR job” is a big thing in football.
Not the basketball ninjas with dredds lmao 😂😂 I hate that it's true lmao
I said the same thing. The way he was blocking the ball in highschool was not fair. Man amongst boys
Gil switching up on what he said about high schoolers being like they will be In the league is CRAZYYYYY WORK 😂😂😂clown
17 combined points in three different games is dominating?
As a Duke guy, I would like to see him graduate. He can do it in 3 years like Jay Williams.
Gil resisting Flagg like mayonnaise 🤔
Celtics and Jazz salivating🤣🤣🤣🤣😢 Josiah crazzzzzyy #thegreatwhitehope
flag is a lot like a young lebron or larry bird, lots of hype and pressure but he seems undaunted. He is also pretty big like and has some very nice passing and vision like them, he has a great mind for the game. Excited to see him in the league
Not only is he good but his style of play is nice to watch. He’s a highlight reel even scoring layups.
You call him a college player but he’s basically a high school player right? Has he played college ball yet, he just graduated no? He’s a Duke commit or commitment is technically what he is.
After “listen man” everybody gets silent. 😂
I immediately thought Kenneth faried 😂😂😂😂
How quickly afew highlights make you forget there is an 👽 down in Texas
I need NEEEEEED video of Kenyon playing volleyball!
😆😆😆
People need to chill he averaged like 16 ppg his senior year of hs lol I know it was at a powerhouse but still if he was him he would have averaged atleast 25+
College Football allows approximately 85 scholarships compared to 13 in College Basketball. Joel Embiid started playing basketball @| roughly the same age this kid played football. Now he’s on the dream team.
kmart playing volleyball is crazy but dude prolly woulda got a gold medal. been the mj of volleyball
Amare Stoudemire says he didn't play basketball until high school or late in middle school. Then got drafted out of high school himself.
You can not just randomly throw a basketball player on a football field. That boy received a scholarship because he was big, not because he was good.
Kenyon Martin out here looking like Spike Lee.
