Though his season may have ended early, Cooper Flagg still awaits the announcement of the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award. But while the decision on the honor is yet to be made, Flagg made an unexpected move.
At 19 years old, the Mavericks rookie is currently the youngest player in the NBA. While he may be a threat to many on the court, Flagg still has plenty of aspirations in his personal life. Like many, he would have wished to meet some of his childhood heroes.
That opportunity brought him to Europe just four days after finishing his first NBA season in Dallas. The Sidemen, a popular YouTube group from the United Kingdom, are set to host their 7th charity soccer match at Wembley Stadium in London. Flagg, who has been a fan of the group since his younger days, made sure to attend the training day in London ahead of the big match.
