Former NBA star Stephen Jackson recently said, “Cooper is nowhere close to that” in reference to Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg not being better than Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird.

The Dallas Mavericks suffered a colossal Cooper Flagg injury just before the eight-day All-Star break. The leading Rookie of the Year candidate was diagnosed with a left midfoot sprain, ruling him out of the upcoming game against the LA Lakers on Thursday.

Cooper Flagg just keeps adding highlight reels to his collection and this time around he bodied Dillon Brooks during Mavericks vs. Suns.

The Dallas Mavericks lost their 7th consecutive game against the Phoenix Suns on Feb 11. However, the 111-120 loss took the backseat as Cooper Flagg stole the spotlight.

Cooper Flagg's bond with his former Duke Blue Devils teammates remains as strong as ever. On Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks rookie forward got reunited

PHOENIX (AP) — Dillon Brooks anotó 23 puntos, Devin Booker sumó 19 y los Suns de Phoenix vencieron el martes 120-111 a los Mavericks de Dallas, quienes sufrieron su octava derrota en fila. Naji Marshall consiguió 31 puntos y Cooper Flagg terminó con 27 por Dallas,

Stephen Jackson believes Cooper Flagg has tremendous potential but says comparing him to Larry Bird is premature.

PHOENIX — The Dallas Mavericks are rebuilding around Cooper Flagg, but they aren’t starting from scratch. Several players on the roster could be long-term fits around the 19-year-old rising star, which won’t require the Mavericks to rely solely on bringing in external pieces to complete the full puzzle needed to be competitive again in the Western Conference.
