Kevin Love has adopted a new mantra - "Plant trees and watch 'em grow," and Cooper Flagg seems to be one of the trees that won't need much nurturing. Named the Gatorade Best Male Player of the Year at the 2024 ESPYs, Flagg is following in Love's footsteps after a stunning performance against Team USA. Duke’s coveted signee hopes to recreate the 1985-86 Boston Celtics' style of play with his defensive prowess and versatility. Flagg's commitment to skill work and defensive excellence has earned him admiration, not only from Love but also from the basketball community. As Flagg embarks on his journey to Duke and potentially the NBA, Love sees a bright future ahead for the rising star in the ever-evolving game of basketball. Their bond over the sport and shared admiration for the Celtics exemplifies the timeless love for basketball that unites players across generations.
