where do you stand on the Cooper flag bandwagon you in first class seat first class oh bet you know not only I'm Man In First Class I'm In First Class flying on United Arab Emirates I don't know if you been on that plane talk about first there's first class and then there's United Arab Emirates got folks what wait what's that like first class off the mo oh it's out of the world it's off the charts being on theit un emirs I took a flight I think from New York to London one time on that flight and the it's just it's it's amazing and it's the greatest first class I've ever been in so when you ask me the question about coup I'm in the United Arab Emirates first class with this young man I mean okay and and I was thinking about him because I knew you were GNA talk to me about him today and I figured you would ask me a question like what makes is he standing out and my answer as I thought about it last night I said yes he is standing out because he's not standing out meaning on what day did I come to practice I went to practice first practice was Monday they had a great scrimmage between the um the national team and the select team that they have to practice against them and I was watching because I I I I can't take my eye Dan I can't excuse me for rambling but I Can't Take My Eyes Off LeBron James because I've never seen LeBron James prior to Monday practice I've never seen him practice I had a chance to watch him practice the last two days and what's amazing to me is here's a man that's arguably the greatest player in the history of the game of basketball who you know has a very very good argument to become to be the goat and as I watched him practice and kept my eyes on him the entire time both days he worked like LeBron James in practice worked like he was trying to make the team at 3 I mean his energy his determination his commitment all that stuff he plays so hard so to answer your question about Cooper flag does he stand out no well that was my question to about does he stand out no he doesn't stand out because he just fits in like he's just normally a part of this situation and he's 17 years old I saw LeBron James checking him checking him in the scrimmage and Cooper flag was playing point guard at 17 years old at 69 against LeBron James and he he didn't Flinch it was nothing it was just like he's playing against some kids that he played against in High School uh a few months back in Maine I mean this kid it's it's you know it's it's really amazing as a sports caster especially a guy that's always on the road and still walks in the locker rooms unlike a lot of you know people in today's sports casting you know work in locker rooms and and being around people it's so interesting when you run into a a person uh that is special just just as as as a baby as a a young person and you just see the future like LeBron James when he was a kid out of out of high school was a sports illustrator I'll never forget the chosen one this Cooper flag is the real deal and it's just I was thinking as I was watching them I was like here's a kid that's 17 years old playing against not only the best players in the world but some of the greatest players of all time playing with them fitting in not dominating but you being effective and he's 17 and now what is this July so he's got August so he's got another month and then he's going to walk on to a college campus and have to play against college kids this is going to be phenomenal to watch just I mean I can't wait to watch Duke he's only going to be there for a year so he's gonna be the number one player in the draft there's no question about it I mean we are looking at the future of the NBA uh the future of America basketball which makes me feel good because if you look you seeing all these International guys winning MVPs mvs dages the jokic an tumbos um and now you got a guy like Anthony Edwards who a young upand coming cat American and and this Cooper flag is going to be uh he's gonna be special over the next 15 years so it's just uh it's a treat you know I was sitting there saying to myself I can't believe that they pay me to do this but I'm not going to tell anybody uh you know Dan don't tell nobody man won tell nobody they pay us for this right I I promise you
