The Duke superstar, long projected to go No. 1 overall, shared a heartfelt moment with his mom after hearing his name called at the 2025 NBA Draft.

Cooper Flagg was nominated for two ESPYs less than a day after being picked No. 1 overall in the NBA draft. Flagg, 18, was nominated for Best Breakthrough Athlete and Best College Athlete - Men's Sports.

"It took a couple months to really understand, process, feel it, live it — and feel the pain," the coach said of Duke's Final Four loss.

Jason Kidd said that he wants to play Cooper Flagg at point guard this season, although Lonzo Ball thinks a different plan will maximize the young talent.

When naming his WNBA Mount Rushmore, Cooper Flagg placed Caitlin Clark alongside current and former greats on his list of the greatest WNBA players.
