Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

They should have some classes at Johnson County Community College over the summer to help you idiots out with understanding probabilities and statistics.

Luka gets traded to LA when Lebron is in his twilight.

Dallas gets Flagg when the fanbase is in shambles and openly rioting.

Totally not rigged btw

Is this Cooper Flagg that good? I can't remember the last white guy from the United States who was a dominant NBA player. Larry Bird?

Meanwhile, the white foreign players like Jokic or Doncic have an advantage because they start playing professionally at a younger age.

Flagg is 18 and played one season at Duke.

He's good, he has a really high end basketball IQ for someone that's 18. He's a high end defensive player with a ton of quickness.

Weird comparison but he's like a souped up Pascal Siakam. If he reaches potential he could be Scottie Pippen.

He's also looks pretty big for an 18 yr old. With where his IQ and skills are now I can't imagine where he'll be at 22. The closest comparison I can think of is a Aaron Gordon with a little less dynamite in his legs

He lost 3 games out of like 4 they lost all year at Duke by falling down with the ball on the last possession of the game.

Yes, he's like a mix of Scottie Pippen/Kawhi Leonard in full form. Best prospect I've seen come out of the NCAA since AD.

I didn't realize how terrible that list would be. Stockton, Kevin Love, Chris Mullin

Yes. I had forgotten Steve Nash was Canadian

Plus, Nash was a late bloomer and Nash/Stockton/Mullin were great players but not guys you would tank for.

Lot of hype around this kid.

Damn that really sucks for the guy

Jayson Tatum today underwent successful surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon. No timetable is currently available for his return, but he is expected to make a full recovery. Further updates will be provided when appropriate. pic.twitter.com/TTXziFtMQB

I'm looking forward to a wolves/thunder conference finals match. Probably won't watch the nba finals though.

Those are my sons' favorite teams, so we're all pretty excited for the possibility. Either way, the Finals would be fun to watch for us.

KC_Connection · Today, 05:29 PM

Any Finals without the Warriors is a good Finals imo
