00:00Let's hear from some of these guys. Of course, Cooper Flagg, we've known for what, about a year plus that he was going to be the first overall pick in this draft.
00:08We know it's going to be to Dallas. Dallas lost Luka Doncic earlier this year, who was their franchise player.
00:14Is there any pressure on Cooper Flagg thinking that he has to replace Luka? No, there's none of that.
00:19I wouldn't look at anything as pressure. I think, you know, me going into whatever situation I go into, I'm just going to try and be myself all the time.
00:27And I'm going to push myself to be better and better every single day. And I make the most out of every day.
00:32You know, I'm not worried about living up to certain players' expectations or things like that.
00:37I'm just going to be myself and really just try and get better every single day that I can.
00:41And he's going to be effective, I think, automatically as a player because he's an incredible player.
00:50His instincts are pure. He does it all. He is the complete package.
00:55He is so dangerous and lethal on a basketball court. It's not even funny.
01:01He carried Duke. I don't care what anybody says. He carried them to the Final Four.
01:06We knew that would happen. He was there one year. We said he'd win a championship on this show.
01:10I thought he would. He didn't get it done, but he took them to the Final Four and they lost.
01:15It is what it is. But he's going in the NBA. He's going to be rich.
01:18He's going to be number one. He was already rich, playing at Duke, getting paid allegedly absurd NIL money.
01:26And he's already got New Balance deals, sponsorships out the Ying.
01:33He's doing commercials already. The guy is really famous before his time.
01:38He hasn't even played a game in the NBA.
01:41And he's really the most famous kid I've ever seen going into it.
01:45Like, you know, who's bigger than him going into it?
01:48Like, that made that kind of scratch in college.
01:52That already had a New Balance deal in college.
01:55That already had, like, AT&T ads in college.
02:00I mean, the guy is unavoidable.
02:02He's literally, oh, and then they love him. He's white.
02:06Oh, they go crazy when they get the white guy that can play.
02:09They, I mean, they go crazy.
02:10They did it with Larry Bird, and they're going to do it with this guy.
02:13Count on it.
02:14They don't know what to do when they get a white player.
02:16They really don't. They just freak out.
02:19I mean, all the sponsors come pouring in.
02:21They all want a piece of him.
02:23It's going to be like nothing you've ever seen.
02:25And you know what else? He's so enormous.
02:28I actually don't think anyone else in the entire draft matters at all.
02:33Like, they just don't matter.
02:35When did we get excited watching Dylan Harper?
02:38I did, because I saw him training every morning.
02:41And every morning, I'd see this kid in the dead of winter,
02:44shooting hundreds of shots, busting his ass.
02:46But did we ever get excited about watching him play at Rutgers?
02:50And we live in New York City.
02:51Did you ever once get excited about watching that kid play basketball?
02:55I had more excitement watching him play at Bosco than I did at Rutgers.
03:00He was more exciting in high school than he was at Rutgers.
03:03At Rutgers, he was boring.
03:05I mean, honestly, they never won.
03:07Am I wrong, Mike?
03:08Tell me when I'm wrong.
03:09I'll shut up.
03:10No, I still, to this day, can't figure out how they had Harper and Bailey.
03:15And they forget not make the tournament.
03:18I mean, they couldn't even go 500.
03:19They couldn't even go to the Big Ten tournament.
