Break was breaking down all the biggest NBA storylines Lord till so the Heat Check. The Heat Check was just a crazy, the best podcast covering all the drama around the association.
What the fuck is going on with the Cooper Flag? With this Cooper Flag kit? Who is he? If you don't know him? I don't blame you. I don't blame you because it's you know, you're not in the recruiting cesspool. You're not looking at YouTube highlights of the main White Claws or where the fuck his team is. It's okay. In eighteen months you'll know all about him. There's gonna be a ton of outlets saying the Cooper Flags the next best thing since sliced white wonderbread, six eight, sixteen
year old wing from Maine. Many people think is him? Recruitment was a big deal. Where's he gonna go to school? Where's gonna go to school? Wherever he landed? Was gonna get the number one coveted recruiting class in college? Hoops? Then I also mentioned that Cooper Flag was whitee of course he's white. Of course his name is Cooper, his first name is Cooper. I didn't have to tell you that, though, did I let's be real, there's not a guy with a first name Cooper that's ever been anything but white.
The only Coopers I know are either white or Golden Retrievers. Those are the type of dogs that love the water. We're not done, though. There hasn't been an American born white player that has been selected number one since Kent fucking Benson in nineteen seventy seven. Nope, you don't know him. I don't know him. I had to get into the lab research. So pop quiz time number one hyped wing white boy, best next thing, blah blah blah, gonna be first overall in the NBA Draft. Where do you think
he decided to go to school? Think it was Grambling, Think it was Kentucky. Thenk goes Louisville. You know where the fuck Cooper Flag decided to go to school, don't you?
You know?
You know where he went to school. If you followed basketball, you know you know. Say it. Just say it for me, Just say it for me. It's Duke. You know there was no other place on the planet Earth that he could go other than Duke. The pipeline is intact even after coach k. But that's not what the fuck moment. Cooper Flag going to Duke was obvious, right, it's obvious. But what the fuck started with the cover Slam where Cooper Flag is right there, sitting there on the cover.
There's nothing untoward at first glance with it, right, it's like, oh, yeah, he's posing on the cover. He's got his little finger in his jersey, like, oh yeah, what's up. I'm Cooper Flag, I'm going to Duke. And then then you look at the bottom and it says Cooper Flag pledges his allegiance to the brotherhood Duke the brotherhood? What kind of brotherhood are we talking about? Uh? What the fuck? Slam? What the fuck? If that's not nothing for you to be like,
I don't know about this? Go ahead, go over to the Duke basketball Instagram page. Where do you find? You find Cooper Flag standing in the dark with a pitchfork in his hand. That's on fire, that's on fucking fire. You can't make it up. You cannot make it up. What the fuck, Duke? What are you doing? What is happening right now? White player, dark gym, burning pitchfork? My first question was who proved this? Who you run this through? Who decided yes? What were the ideas you turned down.
It's like Cooper Flag holds a noose, like, what are we doing? This is horrible, Like, we can't do that. This is insane. This is literally insane. Do you guys want to make Cooper Flag the most unpopular number one pick we've seen. It's not Cooper Flag's fault either. I like Cooper Flags. Like the first thing's like, oh, that's bad.
The second thing is like, oh, that's Charlottesville. Oh they had to say, hey, Cooper, pose with your arm out, why cause we're gonna photoshop you with a pitchfork that's on fire. The whole thing's bizarre. It really is. This is one of those things where he's gonna be like in ten years from now. Yeah, like in hindsight, probably not great, probably not an ideal, like entrance to the world.
Hopefully Cooper Flag doesn't get caught by any shrapnel. All of that to say, what the fuck were they doing with the Cooper Flag rollout
