Former Blue Devil and future HOFer takes Cooper Flagg under his wing

Earlier this week, the Dallas Mavericks took down the Oklahoma City Thunder in Cooper Flagg's first-ever NBA preseason game.

In the matchup, the former Blue Devil started for the Mavs and contributed 10 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one block. Just a few hours before his double-digit scoring performance, he was seen putting in some extra work, right alongside fellow Duke legend Kyrie Irving.

Irving, who is undeniably a future Hall of Fame inductee, has taken Flagg under his wing, just like Lebron James did for him all those years ago.

After Dallas's shoot-around on Monday, Flagg and Irving both continued to put up shots in the gym, even though Irving wasn't playing in the game that night.
