You got your wish! Cooper Flagg scored a career high 42 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists 1 steal & 2 blocked shots! What a night for the kid!

The Utah Jazz did beat the Mavs and I'm happy as they have been really struggling alot.
For the Jazz Lauri Markannen had 33 points while 2nd year pro Kyle Flipkowski had 25 points!

Yes I did and then some. I must be getting old. I fell asleep and didn't know until this morning. Flagg has shown he can score and has a good all round game. I'm hoping he gets a little better with the 3. I know he's only 18 and has a long way to go, but if he can get to Larry Bird status I'd be happy.
I know that's asking a lot!!
 
I also love that Cooper Flagg broke Lebrons NBA Scoring Record in a game by an 18 year old. Lebron had 37 pts and Flagg had 42! Love it!
 
Two great games by Flagg in leading Dallas to an OT win over Detroit and then Luka with another 40 point triple double.

Flagg is already an elite defender and he is quickly becoming a force on offense as well. He is realizing he is too athletic for defense to stop. When he starts being a bit more selfish, his offensive number will explode. If he can shoot a better three, sky is the limit.

Pat Spencer started again, last night, even with Curry and Butler back from injury. Spencer scored 12 points. Young Brandin Podziemski seems to have lost his spot, for now, which is not ideal. Dutch center Quinten Post also started for Golden State and added 16 points.

Pat's younger brother, Cam Spencer (Memphis), had a perfect night shooting 6-6 from 3, added 2-2 FT's. 20 point night on only six shots!

Would be great to see both at All-Star weekend. High-flying Pat in the the slam-dunk contest. And non-dunker Cam in the 3-point contest. Pat actually was at last year's All-Star weekend -- starting on the D-League All-Stars (at age 28), along with young Reed Sheppard and McClung, who should also be in the dunk contest. As the 3rd overall pick (rookie year), Sheppard being on the D-League team had to be a bit of insult :copas:

Been following the Grizzlies to see how breakout player Cam Spencer has been doing. He’s starting now, likely due to injury, but great nonetheless. Tonight he had a double-double running the offense (19 points and 11 assists). Since the calendar turned over to December, Cam has averaged 19.4 ppg and 5.8 apg with absurd shooting percentages. 68% from the field, 66.7% from 3 and 100% from the charity stripe.

Other than Spencer, Spaniard Santi Aldama went off the 37 points and 10 rebounds.

Other standouts from other games include Reed Shepard with 28, Payton Pritchard with 33 and Sandro Mamukelashvili with 24.

Yet the NBA wants us to believe that Mac McClung cannot duplicate what Reed Shepard and Payton Pritchard do at the same size.

Freethinker put forth a solid list of players that have broken out recently, two of which you highlighted above. W.L., another White player is starting to generate a "buzz" in the last week and he also fits the "McClung" prototype -- in terms of size. That's New York Knicks token White Tyler Kolak, who is suddenly getting great press. Kolek, a very rare Rhode Island native in the NBA, was an absolute superstar in college, but, as expected (for obvious reasons), dropped into round 2 of the draft.

Last year, with a veteran White-cuck head coach he received the "McClung" treatment. Basically, if he ever went into game and got "posted up" (and scored on) by a much taller guard, he'd be relegated to the bench for a week. Just a stupid way to coach, as no player is ever going to be anywhere close to 100% stout on defense.

Other quick points:

Been some debate whether Payton Pritchard is Eurasian. Upon a Google A.I. search that does not seem to be the case. Both parents are White. Might have some slight Northern (Norway, Finland?) or Eastern European blood on mom's side, which might account for the slight almond shaped eyes.

Freethinker, make no mistake about it, Connecticut does not win back-to-back titles without Cam Spencer. No way! And it wasn't only his scoring and shooting, it was the tenacious defense he played. He might not be able to "jump", like older brother Pat. But he is a great athlete.
.... By the way, "legendary" @ss clown Jim Buffoon (aka Calhoun) would've never allowed Spencer on his teams during his long tenure. So, good riddance to that idiot. His reputation was so stained by his thuggish, all-black teams (DWF's dubbed them the UConvicts) that even woeful Boston College would not touch him when he was unemployed. He had to coach his all-black thugs at like the D-2 or D-3 level (American U.?) :afro:

Finally, as well as Cooper Flagg is playing, his good friend Kon Knueppel might be doing better. Clearly #'s 1 and 2 in the rookie of the year race, right now?

Good post TT. I've been seeing more of Kolak and Spencer as well. How Sheppard is not starting, I'll never know.
In regards to Flagg/Knueppel. Knueppel got off to a quick start as the Mavs thrust an 18 old Flagg into the starting PG position on a bad team. Knueppel is also a little older by about 2 years. Since Flagg has moved to his more natural small forward position, I believe he's played as well as Knueppel overall. Clearly Knueppel is the better 3 point shooter, but Flagg is the better defender.
Hopefully as Flagg gets older he will begin to learn and make his team better. He's a great passer and can block shots, but greatness will come as he can become the team leader and make Dallas a serious playoff contender as Larry Bird did. We have to remember Bird was 23 when came into the NBA, Flagg should be a freshman in college right now. Love seeing him breaking some of LeBron's records, but typically, because he is white, it's been ignored/suppressed somewhat!
Flagg- 18.8/6.4/3.5/1.3/0.8
Knueppel-`19.4/5.4/3.6/0.8/.03
ROY will be close. It's been great to watch!

Ball being a complete non-factor as a shooter doesn't help Kon's cause. Pistons put Ausar Thompson on Kon, and whoever was guarding Ball could shade him.

Thanks, good reply, CS. It will be a great race to watch, but Cooper Flagg has to be the significant odds-on favorite. Also, with Mark Feldman-Chabenisky (aka Cuban) out of the way soon (Adeleson's bought the team), as well as the mullato GM being fired (is mullato J. Kid next?), perhaps the Mavs will bring in a token (or two) White players to help Flagg out, or it least give him some one to hang out with.

The far-left, seemingly anti-White, communist wing-nut Feldman Chabenisky pretty much used Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic as the "faces of the franchise" to draw in fans in deep "red" Texas, but otherwise put forth totally black teams. Hopefuly that can change quickly. Example, the Charlotte Hornets went from mostly all black for years, to White friendly (by NBA standards) fairly quick this year!

I guess we can say Flagg is a modern day Larry Bird. Except, it seems Flagg is much more athletic. Don't remember Bird real well, but he certainly wasn't the "dunker" that Flagg is? Kon Knueppel really reminds me of ex-NBA star Chris Mullin. Facially and physically (size), he should really remind a lot of people of Mullin.

As CS noted, both Flagg and Knueppel entered the NBA significantly younger than Bird and Mullin -- which makes their initial success much more impressive, perhaps? I say "perhaps", because it's hard to compare era's.

P.S: While looking up Bird, I never knew he was married, briefly, at the age 18. He still says his quick divorce really haunts him to this day, to the point he has frequent bad dreams.

Bird was actually an outstanding leaper before knee injuries caused him to change his game. most people are unaware of the significant injuries that Bird played through during his NBA career (especially his back), and obviously medical procedures and recovery therapy were not nearly as advanced as they are today.

as an aside, another terrific athlete who doesn’t get credit for that aspect of his game was Arvydas Sabonis. the Russian center was a tremendously mobile mountain of a man before knee injuries took their toll, and the communist regime of the time didn’t allow him to seek medical treatment outside the Soviet Union. as such, by the time he came to the NBA, Sabonis was playing with no cartilage in one knee and only half the cartilage in his other knee. and he was still one of the better centers in the league!
 
Dallas/Denver game was quite a show starring Flagg and Jokic. Dallas wins 131-130.
Flagg scores 33 with 9 rebounds and 9 assists. One short in both categories from becoming the youngest player ever to record a triple double.
Jokic played well. Scoring 29 points with 7 rebounds and 14 assists.

Cooper Flagg was amazing tonight. I like that he is being so much more aggressive now! Even more aggresive than he was while
at Duke. It's a good sign as the Mavs are winning alot more games now. They still are an average team on their best day but without
Flagg they would be dead last. For an 18 year old to play at this level this early on is incredible. The future is bright in Dallas. Now they
need to get some additonal younger talent around him in the next several years.

JC, thanks for the info regarding Bird's knees (and Sabonis). Here's a video of Bird's Top 10 NBA Dunks. Nothing eye-popping for a 6'9" athlete, but impressive for his era, plus injury considerations.

Some random notes: Tyler Kolek almost had a triple double tonight: 20 pts/11 reb....Aussie veteran Jock Landale, who's been jerked around for years, had 17 points. Averaging almost 11.0 ppg this season .....Kyle Filipowski 25pts/13 rb's ....Sam Merrill 22/6/7


Finally, I rooted for Dallas to miss the playoffs last year. Total mistake on my part. Not that I factored in, but it was a wrong "wish".

Why? We all know the NBA riggs lottery's for true "franchise players". As LeBron James has said, Flagg types are "assigned to teams". No doubt the NBA assigned Flagg to Dallas (had a 1.7% chance of winning) to help out Miriam Adelson and her struggling team, following the Doncic fiasco.

Had Dallas not been "assigned" Flagg, I believe the Chicago Bulls would've been "assigned" Flagg, to restore the luster of a once beloved franchise, particularly with NBC TV returning. Flagg on the heavily White Bulls would've been awesome!!!!

Flagg with another monster 33-9-9 game in a close win against Denver. He shot the 3 well and had some clutch buckets to seal the win. Once that 3 point shot develops, look out.

TT, in a way I’m glad he didn’t end up in Chicago. It would’ve been fun for sure, but having too many whites log jammed on the same team means someone will lose out on minutes and production. The Chicago group of Giddey, Buzelis, Vucevic, Huerter and Collins are a great group to watch and looks like Cooper is prospering just fine in Dallas. Part of me would like to see him end up on another contender after his rookie deal expires, a team where he’s not the only white player on the roster. I don’t want to see a repeat of the Dirk situation in Dallas with him.

Dirk should have won more than one championship but (((Mark Cuban))) never surrounded him with a good enough group, including some more white players. But then again Dirk’s time was a pretty bleak era when it came to white talent, nothing like today. His 2012 championship run remains on of the best and most memorable ever.

I like watching this video from time to time:

 
here’s the shot where Kon made history.

Yes he was! I was able to watch the entire game! Flagg is now in a virtual tie with Knueppel in scoring: 19.4 to 19.2 and Flagg is either ahead or tied with Kon in just about every major stat. If Flagg keeps playing like he has in the last 10 or so games, he would surely pull ahead of Knueppel for ROY.

Going back to the Bird comparisons. JC correctly mentioned that Bird was actually very athletic. Look at the Larry Bird mix tape. There are fellow NBA players that said he wasn't very athletic, couldn't run fast, couldn't jump high, etc., well what does that say about themselves if they couldn't guard an unathletic white player. It makes no sense to say Bird wasn't athletic. No one could possibly do the things he did on the court and be unathletic.
Flagg is an amazing young player and may one day be better than Bird, but he'll have to win some Championships to be in the conversation. I hope he wins 10 Championships, but until he does, he's no Larry Bird just yet.
BTW Bird averaged a double/double in points and rebounds as a rookie-21/10 and 4.5 assists, .40% from the three!! Took a 20-60 team to a 60-20 team and won ROY and finished 4th in MVP voting and made the AS Team., however he was 23 when he entered the Association! We'll see where Flagg is at 23!
Watch the highlights below and tell me Bird wasn't athletic!! The man is in the top 3 all time in a 8-9 year time frame until he was injured! I only have Jabbar and Jordan ahead of him. Magic Johnson said Bird was the GOAT when he retired!

Check out Birds mix tape

CFinn, I get your point about spreading around the White talent. But it would've been great to watch Flagg on a mostly White team, instead of him following Dirk and Doncic as, basically, the token White Maverick. Bulls and Lakers would've been the two most watchable teams, by a CF perspective. I watched Doncic more in a half-season with the Lakers (last spring) than I did his entire career in Dallas. Dallas just has turned me off "big time" since 2004**.

Perhaps, if Miriam Adelson's Mavericks were not in such disarray, soon after she purchased the team, Cooper Flagg could've been "assigned" to the Bulls. At that point, I assume they would've been deemed too White and forced to dump a White player or two. Maybe Giddey, but more likely Huerter and Zach C.? But young Buzelis and Vucevic would still be around and likely Giddey. Again, that would be awesome to watch. They'd be on NBC more than other team.

Problem in Dallas is, although Mark Feldman-Chabenisky (aka Cuban) sold a controlling interest in the team, the Adelson's have made him the team's de-facto GM, so expect the team to be, basically, all black going forward. At least until Feldman-Chabenisky leaves.

Don't forget, Feldman-Chabenisky had the dynamic duo of Dirk and Steve Nash**, but let Nash leave in 2004 and that may have lost them a chance at 1 or 2 additional NBA titles. Feldman-Chabenisky, in retrospect, claims Mavs doctors were to blame for Nash leaving, but that's not how I remember it. It seems like an outright lie to cover his behind. He simply refused to pay him as much as the immortal Mike Bibby and made it very clear at the time! This medical stuff is bull. Nashed missed just 4 games during his last 3 seasons in Dallas.

Communist Feldman-Chabenisky just isn't a fan of White players and that cannot be denied, as he's owned the team for over 24 years and the makeup of the team never changes. There is ample evidence he craves all black teams, with an occasional token White star to fill the seats.

P.S: Watching Carolina's Bird tape, Larry looks a lot like Luka Doncic. The similarities are uncanny, to me.
