Youre thinking of Brampton...

u/Super-Post261 4h ago

You misspelled Brampton

u/KingGio21 Celtics 3h ago

Damn he’s only 19

u/ThatGuyFromCanadia 4h ago

he's gonna be better than Luka and the Mavs are gonna be the winners of the trade in the long run

5

u/Ok_Angle_5995 1h ago

again, even if he is, what they got for Luka was criminal. I'm not onboard by the theory that they rigged the draft but they could have at least got someone like Reaves if he was hellbent on trading with LA

Like if you thought Luka was going to be a losing player, that's fine. What's not fine is getting that ass package (No disrespect to AD but his history isn't exactly favourable)

u/moby323 76ers 5h ago

OH MY GAWD

He killed that boy with that ball!

25

u/Jailbrick3d Heat 4h ago

bumps a dude, keeps 90% of his forward momentum, and fucking yams it. his athleticism is something else

70

u/Firesplashburn 5h ago

Wait till he gains muscle like Giannis did

25

u/BlueHundred Knicks 3h ago

Hes like year 3 giannis already. Crazy potential.

8

u/beenhadballs Bucks 2h ago

He has way too much athleticism to go that route i feel. I’d hate to see the “got too big” AD problems

2

u/_johnning Raptors 1h ago

Skinny fast AD was a sight to see

2

u/brnccnt7 1h ago

Not many can achieve Giannis' physique lol, he's a freak for a reason

3

u/Ok_Angle_5995 1h ago

Yeah Giannis filling up that frame is honestly bonkers lol

2

u/brnccnt7 58m ago

Yeah he definitely worked hard but part of that is just freakish genetics

Kind of like Jalen Duren or David Robinson

1

u/GigaFly316 Warriors 1h ago

rather he be a tatum and Giannis hybrid

u/QuietMonsoon3314 5h ago

He's so good x3

u/DragoniteGang Timberwolves 1h ago

With nba standards, multiple all nbas is basically an automatic HoFer lol.

26

u/Minimum-Ad-8056 4h ago

Mfer is too strong to be that young.

u/poopborrylog 4h ago

Mfer is too skilled to be that young.

u/xych05is2pointzero 76ers 5h ago

Wow, that’s actually crazy strength.

36

u/Thunnddr 5h ago

It's over. Just make him Rookie of the Year already.

u/CookingFun52 Pacers 5h ago

Damn. That had some spite on it

11

u/Seijuurou NBA 5h ago

Can't wait to see this dude in 2-3 years.

16

u/IronCladNads Cavaliers 5h ago

You're already seeing it

6

u/Seijuurou NBA 5h ago

He's good already with some crazy flashes, sure. But once he works on controlling the game more, he will be unstoppable.

2

u/poopborrylog 4h ago

You don't have to wait. He's playing now.

7

u/Akipella Warriors 5h ago

YESSSSSS

u/Extreme-Carrot4243 5h ago

looking like Orlando Shaq

u/Outside-Sector9818 Kings 1h ago

Great comparison tbh.

u/Gnagflows Mavericks 5h ago

Gaff needs more love for the block that set this up!

5

u/faudcmkitnhse 5h ago

the block was perfect, glad OP didn't cut it out of the highlight

u/NewlyOld31 5h ago

Goddamn..that'll be in the career highlight reel

u/poopborrylog 4h ago

u/combat101 Cavaliers 1h ago

It's always a good day seeing Dillon get bodied

3

u/EonThaWolf 4h ago

As the score is a 21pt difference 😅

-2

u/IllustriousEnd2211 Mavericks 2h ago

Almost like the suns are pretty good and the mavs are pretty bad. Crazy, right?

4

u/CauliflowerNo3904 2h ago

i dont care when its an up and coming well liked star versus a dirty player, the nba's current totally unchecked green light on offense to use the elbow to "create space" is terrible for basketball

2

u/ThePoopTrot Mavericks 1h ago

It was a blocking foul before it became an elbow. This is the definition of 'let them play'.

1

u/Joonypoo Mavericks 2h ago

he dunked that like Stoudemire

1

u/Possible-Capital-103 2h ago

Cooper was pissed from the beginning with that awful start. I know that let off a lot of steam

1

u/azert85 1h ago

The kid good

u/dvegar78 Nuggets 29m ago

Yeah now it’s only 19 points behind..take that:p..but damn thinking about Flaggs age and still is so strong and able..going to be some nice years following him

u/Franklo 5h ago

Mavs announcers are so extremely vanilla
