Cooper Flagg is already turning heads for the USA Select Team. In an interview with ESPN, head coach Jamahl Mosley, who is also the Orlando Magic’s head coach, raved about the 17-year-old standout. “I hadn’t been around him, so just meeting him and talking to him the first day in practice the other day, you can just see the quiet confidence that he carries with himself,” Mosley said. “His ability to know what he’s capable of doing, but also the humility of knowing, ‘OK, I’m still trying to figure some of these things out at this level,’ but he’s not afraid of it. And that’s what, that’s one th...

Highlighted by two premier college basketball programs that are just 10 miles apart with history against one another that dates back to 1920.

Bacot spoke about his history with both the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils during an appearance on ‘Run Your Race’ with Theo Pinson. In their conversation, he admitted to being a big Duke fan growing up and hating UNC, which makes his time in Chapel Hill that much more interesting to think about. “Even committing to Carolina, for me, was crazy because – a lot of people don’t know this. I grew up ...

JJ Redick is the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, and he admits that Mike Krzyzewski played a big role in helping him make the decision. During his introductory press conference last week, Redick talked about the impact Coach K had on him becoming the head coach of the Lakers. “Coach since 2004 has had a great relationship with the Lakers and the Buss family,” Reddick said. “He was very complimentary of the organization.
