Back to back MVP and he can’t give us one signature playoff run or performances.
He’s championed by that supporting cast around him and it’s ok to admit that

Kon Knueppel just finished with six points on 2-12 shooting and was a -20 in a win-or-go-home game. His head coach benched him for the end of the fourth and all of overtime. His team still won.
This was the sixth time that Knueppel finished with less than 10 points this season. Third time in the last month.
Cooper Flagg finished with less than 10 points twice this season. One was the fourth game of his career. The other he got hurt in the second quarter.
This Rookie of the Year race shouldn’t even be a conversation.
Cooper Flagg this season:
— Led Mavs in PTS
— Led Mavs in REB
— Led Mavs in AST
— Led Mavs in STL
The first rookie to lead his team in all four categories since MJ.
