Imagine being a Pacer. This 19 year-old just broke you off a 40 piece, and sent you home and the first thing he says at the podium is he’s mad he doesn’t have his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Diabolically hilarious.
@marshall_naji8 The vibes are immaculate. You guys seem to genuinely love playing together. The style of play is faster, more free with a lot of ball movement. Very physical on defense. So much fun to watch as a fan.
The intelligent choice.
We're excited to welcome @newbalance as an official athletic footwear and apparel partner of the Dallas Mavericks. Welcome to the Mavs family 🤝 #MFFL
There’s a child in the AAC witnessing this sport for the first time who now thinks the Sacramento Kings are really good. This is on your hands Dusty May.
@DustinDietz18 Same. I basically decided before the season started that I’ll casually keep up with the Cowboys and it’s done wonders for my mental health. Didn’t even bother watching the game today. Nothing will change as long as Jerry is there.
Man shoutout Mavs fans. Hit with a gut punch. So many divisions grew within the fandom. It was honestly the worst. To see Dallas fans come together again and be happy, it honestly gets to me. So awesome.
The start of Cooper Flagg’s press conference was briefly delayed as he ordered some food on his phone.
When asked what he was ordering, he jokingly answered “I can’t tell you, it’s a trap question.”
He said he ordered some “very healthy things.”
Cooper Flagg on if he and Zaccharie Risacher have talked about the pressure that comes with being the first pick in the draft:
“Yeah, we’ve talked about it a little bit. It’s tough… You definitely feel another level of pressure, and that’s something I think I’ve talked to him about and we’ve talked about together, just forgetting about the pressure. I told him I know how good you are, we don’t care, nobody here cares that he was a No. 1 pick, we just want him to go out there and play and be who he can be…”
“Cooper Flagg’s a better defender than LeBron at 19. Cooper Flagg’s got a better fundamental jump shot at 19. Cooper Flagg is more positionally versatile defensively at age 19.”
