Last night, Maine's favorite athlete threw the hammer DOWN!

A ferocious slam is going viral, giving us just a glimpse of what is coming to the NBA next season.

Tuesday night, against Pitt, Duke star, Maine native, and projected top NBA draft pick Cooper Flagg, picked off a pass, then turned on the jets, going coast-to-coast, then posterizing Guillermo Diaz Graham.

Flagg racked up a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double, which is close to his Freshman averages of 17.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.

Check out the dunk below.

As a freshman, Flagg is already making a significant impact for the Duke Blue Devils. They are 13-2, and ranked 4th in the country.

He was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year and Naismith Player of the Year in 2024, averaging 16.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game in his senior year at Montverde Academy.

Flagg has already made history by becoming the first men's college basketball player to sign a deal with Gatorade.

With his impressive high school stats and accolades, he's expected to be an NBA lottery pick in 2025 and potentially the top overall selection.

When people think of Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, the first thing that comes to mind is the very high standard of the musicians in their jazz program over the years, but Flagg helped put hoops on the map too.

A few years back, after leading Nokomis to a 21-1 record, on the way to the Class A State Championship, Cooper Flagg started turning heads.

Michigan and UCLA, were the first to offer Flagg a scholarship to play ball after high school, but the chance to play for THE powerhouse of college basketball, the Duke Blue Devils, was just too good to pass up.

Flagg is a crazy six feet, eight inches tall. He can shoot the ball extremely well and is super athletic. He has a nose for rebounding and has perfect timing when it comes to shot-blocking.

In other words, he is the complete package, now it's time to take it to the next level.
