Sixty basketball players’ lives will change on June 25. With the NBA Draft looming, LeBron James and Steve Nash sit down to give the scouting report on why Cooper Flagg has all the tools to succeed as the Dallas Mavericks projected No. 1 pick prepares for the next chapter of his career. James breaks down Flagg’s all-around game from his time at Duke University and explains what he saw during Team USA workouts in the summer. The two also talk about LeBron’s early days as a class clown, potential NBA rule changes, the thing young athletes need to stop doing, and the most blatant call LeBron has gotten away with in his 22-year career.
