Kate Linklark conquered the WNBA, and now Cooper Flag is doing the same thing in the NBA.

Since 1977The American-born white basketball player was undrafted in the NBA draft, the No. 1 overall pick. Kent Benson is an individual who holds that mark. But Duke Phenom Cooper Flag It completely changed that history. Not only that, he is the most popular American white male hooper has seen since the legendary Larrybird.

The word “white” is showing so much in the conversation that ESPN is on the whole topic, and is trying to create the same kind of racial drama that we saw in Indiana Fever superstar Kate Linklark. (Related: Of course, ESPN is embarrassing during the NBA draft)

ESPN contributor Peter Rosenberg, who found his way in hip hop, sports and wrestling for reasons I still don’t understand, was on the four-letter network on Friday, almost denounced American sports fans who were interested in flags because of his skin tone.

“Cooper Flag is white. It’s probably the best white American outlook since Larry Bird. Don’t act like you don’t live in America. I haven’t seen what’s going on with Kate Linklark in the WNBA.”

“If he’s as good as people expect…no one will be more intrigued or awakened than what Cooper Flag does in Dallas.”

It’s crazy that both the NBA and WNBA faces are white… I never thought I’d see anything like that in my life.
