Cooper Flagg could make close to a billion dollars in the NBA by age 32

He was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain... I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, maybe two MCL sprain.
Team USA has a better defensive corps than Canada, but Canada has significantly better forwards
The D's better overall. I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours... Crosby being out, it's scary. And if he's out, that's a big difference... On D our D's better, their forwards are better.
