UNC and Duke is a rivalry that goes back decades! The two schools have had a long history filled with legendary games and legendary players. This time, it’s a little different. Though UNC has maintained a historical advantage over the Blue Devils, the ball lies in Jon Scheyer’s court this year.
Even though Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels have really come together over the last few games, Duke’s front court is an absolute game changer. Cooper Flagg is a generational prospect, and he’s bleeding blue for the Devils. With how well he’s been playing, NBA comparisons are inevitable.
On ESPN’s show Get Up with Dan Graziano, national broadcaster Seth Greenberg issued a groundbreaking comparison for Flagg. “He’s got a little Jayson Tatum in his game, he’s got a little Grant Hill in his game, and he’s got a little Scottie Pippen in his game.” Greenberg said, comparing the superstar with a Bulls legend. “You’re talking about a six-foot-nine inch guy you can run your offense through.”
The Chicago Bulls are best known for Michael Jordan and his six championships, and Scottie Pippen played a huge role in their success. Even though Jordan was the better player, Pippen resembles what Cooper Flagg might end up being.
