I left Barclays Center sometime late in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Exhausted on a hot summer night, I walked slowly onto an old-school LIRR train. You know, those smelly one with the torn red and blue cushions. As I looked around for a seat, a young fan saw my Draft lanyard and flaunted his makeshift Brooklyn Nets jersey that read “FLAGG” taped over “DURANT”.
That was the moment it all hit.
We’ve got our first Cooper Flagg Nets jersey-tag sighting on the Long Island Railroad.
