Shaq Has A Strong Opinion On Cooper Flagg’s Potential
Suffice it to say he’s impressed
There has been a lot of speculation about how Cooper Flagg is going to do as a Dallas Maverick and how he will help the team. As we’ve pointed out many times, there is a split between how media figures see Flagg’s potential vs. how actual players and basketball players see it.
Count Shaquille O’Neal as someone who thinks Flagg has big-time potential. Here’s what he said: “Great young man. I know both his parents very, very well. Everything about this city, this organization, it’s going to be the right place. And then we’ll give him time to develop. We all remember Dirk [Nowitzki] wasn’t Dirk when he first got here. I think this is a great organization, a great town for him to start off his NBA career.”
Generally speaking, trusting people who really know what they’re talking about is a good idea. The players see what Flagg can do, much more than people in the media. Dallas fans should be excited.
