Cooper Flagg’s Boss Moves: Getting Ready With the Basketball Star Ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft

Cooper Flagg, the 6'9" basketball phenom from Maine, has arrived at the 2025 NBA Draft in New York City.

At just 18, Flagg has become one of basketball’s most-discussed names (for his prodigious talent, yes, with many calling his skill “generational,” but there’s also a lot of chatter about his reported making of well over $20 million already in NIL income thanks to his standout season at Duke University). Now, as he jumps from Blue Devil to the pros, the spotlight is intensifying. But he seems ready to meet this new threshold.

“I collect myself with breathing,” says Flagg over a phone call when asked about how he handles pressure, whether on or off the court. “I worked on that a lot last year.”
