00:00Cooper Flagg, what he's done at Duke, is the expected.
00:06This is exactly what was expected of him when he was playing in Maine.
00:11This kid was so spectacular and special and different and unique and stood out like a
00:18sore thumb.
00:20Someone said, you know, live during a game, you know, Dick Vitale, it was when they were
00:27playing Clemson, he said he's 18 years old.
00:30Can you imagine he should be playing high school basketball?
00:34Can you imagine how unfair it is to have that guy playing high school basketball this year?
00:42He's playing at Duke at 18.
00:44He should be a senior in high school playing against kids.
00:48And like I have seen some of the best high school basketball players in the country.
00:53I go to basketball games.
00:55I've been to some of the best games in New York City, in Jersey.
00:59I've been to some of the best in Indiana.
01:01I've been to some of the best in California and in Florida, in Miami.
01:07And I have never seen anything like that kid playing high school basketball.
01:12It's flat out unfair.
01:15I mean, it is unfair.
01:16Now, you know, it bothers me about the coverage of this guy.
01:20So last night he has a double double.
01:24And he was amazing.
01:26And yet all they showed was him getting rejected on that tomahawk dunk he went in for in a
01:31game that they blew out Virginia in Charlottesville.
01:35The only highlight they showed of him was him getting rejected.
01:37Well, which is it?
01:39Are you going to knob him like you do every other day?
01:42Or are you going to humiliate him by showing him getting rejected?
01:45Let me tell you something.
01:47Every player that plays basketball in their life gets rejected.
01:53And they think nothing of it when you play.
01:56This isn't some kind of like video game where they talk shack after they block you and get
02:02that shack out of here.
02:03That stuff.
02:04You say that in the hood, someone's going to punch you in the mouth.
02:08You get blocked.
02:09You get blocked.
02:10You just say nice block.
02:11People block shots all the time.
02:13I played today.
02:14I blocked some guy's shot.
02:15No big deal.
02:16Get the rebound.
02:17So showing him getting swatted last night, but yet you knob him every other night, which
02:24is it?
02:25Do you love him?
02:26Or do you want to humiliate the kid?
02:27He's 18 years old.
02:29Those stats that he put up at Duke are embarrassing.
02:34It's embarrassing.
02:35Like he makes Christian Laettner like didn't even exist.
02:40I mean, honestly, Christian Laettner was like the greatest player that ever played at Duke.
02:43Am I crazy?
02:44I'm still to this day with his big shot against Kentucky.
02:48This kid's so much better than him.
02:49It's not even funny.
02:50And he did it as a freshman.
02:52He's better than Christian Laettner as a senior.
