Gary Tanguay joins Bob Ryan and Jeff Goodman for a wide-ranging NBA conversation led by one of the league’s brightest young stars: Cooper Flagg. The guys debate where Flagg already ranks among the NBA’s best players, how high his ceiling can go, and whether he could eventually become a top-five player and true championship centerpiece in Dallas. They also discuss Kyrie Irving’s importance to the Mavericks and what Flagg still needs around him to contend. From there, Bob, Jeff, and Gary turn to the Lakers, Phil Jackson’s upcoming statue, and the franchise’s uncertain direction. Plus, they react to comparisons involving Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper, revisit how Larry Bird’s three-point shooting would translate to today’s NBA, and discuss Steph Curry’s impact on the modern game. Finally, they look ahead to Jalen Brunson hosting Saturday Night Live and debate which NBA personalities would have been best suited for the SNL stage.
