Rising Star Cooper Flagg Honors Lakers Legends in His All-Time NBA Five
Cooper Flagg, the likely first pick in the 2025 NBA draft, recently showcased his talent in a scrimmage with Team USA, sharing the court with NBA icons like LeBron James and Anthony Davis. His performance solidified his reputation as a premier prospect.
In a video shared by ClutchPoints and GQ, Flagg revealed his all-time NBA starting lineup, which predominantly features players from the storied Los Angeles Lakers franchise. His dream team includes Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. While this lineup might present some on-court spacing challenges, its offensive and defensive prowess is undeniable.
Despite his admiration for Lakers greats, Flagg is unlikely to join the Los Angeles team, as they do not possess a first-round pick for 2025. Nevertheless, his respect for the Lakers’ legacy is evident. In related news, LeBron James was recently voted the best player at the Team USA training camp, edging out other stars like Stephen Curry and Anthony Davis in a poll conducted by The Athletic.
