Shaquille O'Neal explains why Cooper Flagg might go down as one of the GOATs in the NBA: "I have never seen a scenario so perfect for somebody"
Shaquille O'Neal explains why Cooper Flagg might go down as one of the GOATs in the NBA: "I have never seen a scenario so perfect for somebody" originally appeared on Basketball Network. It is remarkable that Cooper Flagg, who has yet to make his first appearance on a proper NBA stage, is already placed on an otherworldly pedestal by much of the basketball world. If labeling him a "generational talent" wasn't enough, there are comparisons between Larry Bird and Flagg that have already sprung in the air. Now, four-time NBA champion Shaquille O'Neal has taken the conversation to an entirely different level, declaring how he believes Flagg is destined to enter the GOAT conversations by the time it's all said and done. The reasoning for Shaq's self-assured proclamation? The NBA has deliberately positioned Flagg for such a trajectory. O'Neal on why Flagg can become the GOAT contender Flagg's rise over the past few years has felt nothing short of mythic. As a teenager, he grabbed international headlines when he battled and held himself against NBA superstars during Team USA's practice. From knocking down three-pointers in the face of Anthony Davis to getting past Jrue Holiday, the Duke sensation did it all. Then, in a twist that shocked fans across the league, the Dallas Mavericks traded away a 26-year-old superstar in Luka Doncic despite the Slovenian guard leading them to the NBA Finals not even a year back. As the fanbase turned hostile against their team and front office, the Mavs landed the lottery pick to draft Flagg despite having less than a two percent chance of doing so. With that, Cooper finally landed on a team that boasts the best frontcourt lineup in the NBA. Moreover, Dallas also has championship-experienced veterans Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving on the roster. Highlighting the same, O'Neal emphasized how the NBA has effectively cleared the runway for Flagg, not just for him to succeed early or to become the face of the league, but to make him the next certified contender in the GOAT debates. "They're laying it out for him. I've never seen a scenario so perfect for anybody," O'Neal said on his podcast. "A team with a mega star, they get rid of him. They're down. All of a sudden, they get a first pick. So, now you're bringing in another potential mega star and he got all the eyes… I've never seen a Cinderella story that's just so laid out for a guy."The Maine Event has a lot of pressure on him With iconic figures like Kevin Durant and LeBron James already voicing their admiration and now Diesel repeatedly bringing him up in interviews, it seems evident that Flagg has become the focal point of basketball's next generation. Thus, every game he plays in the 2025-26 season will be dissected, with each jump in his development broadcast in real time. But with all this hype comes immense pressure. Can Flagg maintain his composure and prove he deserves all this hype from day one? That's the question the whole world will be watching closely, because when the hype reaches that level, naysayers tend to grow quickly. As much as the media wants Flagg to become a sensation, they won't hesitate to tear him apart if he falls short of the lofty expectations placed upon story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 25, 2025, where it first appeared.

5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and more (July 29-Aug. 4)
This week offers plenty of new movie options across the best streaming services, from a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller to a romantic drama set at a storied English university. Whatever sort of movie you're in the mood for, there's likely a newcomer to suit your tastes. '28 Years Later' on PVOD platforms headlines the next seven days, but HBO Max subscribers will be eager to enjoy the blood-soaked thrills of 'Final Destination Bloodlines' while over on Netflix, get your tissues out, because 'My Oxford Year' looks like a tearjerker. Looking to watch something fresh? These are the top new movies landing across streaming services over the next few days. And if you want to binge-watch, here's a guide to all the best new TV shows this week. The old saying goes, 'Time heals all,' but in Danny Boyle's apocalyptic zombie-infested Britain, that's not the case. This long-awaited second sequel to '28 Days Later' takes place almost three decades after the Rage Virus turned the U.K. into a quarantine island cut off from the rest of the world, and things have not improved in the time since Cillian Murphy's Jim was wandering around a devastated London. If anything, the situation has only gotten worse. On a remote, well-fortified island just off the mainland, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) lives with his son Spike (Alfie Williams) and ill wife Isla (Jodie Comer). Taking his son on a rite-of-passage trip to the zombie-plagued mainland, Jamie and Spike discover the infected have mutated to become even deader, and that there are additional threats to consider. Also starring Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell, '28 Years Later' successfully recaptures the spirit and visual style of the 2002 original and, aside from a tonally confused ending, is an extremely compelling watch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Plus, it features more than a few references to my beloved Newcastle Utd soccer team and is set in North East England (which happens to be my birthplace), which makes it an instant must-watch in my books. Buy or rent on Amazon from July 29 Mike Flanagan has developed a reputation as a horror master after directing movies like 'Oculus," "Gerald's Game" and 'Doctor Sleep,' alongside helming chilling Netflix shows 'The Haunting of Hill House' and 'Midnight Mass." However, he trades his usual spooky approach for something a little more heartwarming with 'The Life of Chuck.' This fantasy drama has been described as 'life-affirming' and has even been mooted as a potential awards contender in the upcoming season. Based on the novella of the same name by Stephen King, it marks the third time Flanagan has adapted one of the legendary author's works for the big screen, and stars Tom Hiddleston as the eponymous Charles 'Chuck' Krantz. The movie is told in reverse chronological order as we follow Chunk from his adulthood through to his younger years as he experiences all the ordinary things that make life truly extraordinary. The well-received movie also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay and Mark Hamill. Buy or rent on Amazon from July 29 'Final Destination Bloodlines' marks the return of the long-running horror franchise, and it's an excellent revival. I'd argue it ranks among the very best of 'Final Destination' movies ever, keeping the classic formula intact but with new twists that only add to the blood-soaking mayhem. Following the series' longest premonition scene to date, we flash forward more than 50 years and meet Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), a college student haunted by a grisly vision of a skytower collapsing in the 1960s. Soon enough, death begins stalking Stefani and her family, and the secret to survival might just be locked in her grandmother's past. The overly complicated death sequences have always been the main appeal of the 'Final Destination' franchise, and 'Bloodlines' packs some of the most darkly funny ones to date. And while it doesn't completely reinvent the wheel, it does take a few risks that all play off very well. It also marks the final on-screen appearance of franchise mainstay Tony Todd, who delivers a memorable last performance that might just have you shedding a tear or two. Watch on HBO Max from August 1 If you're looking for a gooey romantic comedy-drama in the vein of 'The Life List,' then Netflix has you covered this week with 'My Oxford Year.' Yes, the release timing is a little odd — a romance tale set in rainy England feels perfect for the fall — but still, I have no doubts this movie will prove popular with Netflix subscribers, even if critics might tear it to shreds. Based on the novel of the same name by Julia Whelan, it centers on Anna De La Vega (Sofia Carson), an American student who fulfills her lifelong dream of studying at England's prestigious (and pretentious) Oxford University. By all accounts, her life is going exactly to plan, but her carefully-considered plan is thrown into turmoil when she meets a very charming British boy (Corey Mylchreest) and sparks fly. Guaranteed to be full of sappy dialogue and overly dramatic musings about seizing the moment while you can, 'My Oxford Year' clearly knows its audience and plays to it. Watch on Netflix from August 1 Hulu's big addition this week is a historical action epic that tells the story of William Tell, a Swiss folk hero, who was an important player in the country's attempts to fight against Austrian invaders in the 14th century. Directed by Nick Hamm and starring Claes Bang in the titular role, this cinematic spin on the legend opens with Tell, a former soldier in the Crusades, living as a huntsman. When the Austrian Empire marches into his country, he refuses to bend the knee and instead becomes part of a revolution that seeks to push back against these foreign oppressors. Also starring Connor Swindells, Golshifteh Farahani, Rafe Spall, Jonathan Pryce and Ben Kingsley, on the surface 'William Tell' looks like it has all the ingredients to be a 'Braveheart' for a new generation. Unfortunately, its critical reception was anything but epic. With a lengthy 134-minute runtime, 'William Tell' might only be one for genre obsessives. Watch on Hulu from August 1

Luis Robert Jr. displays defense and power for Chicago White Sox in 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies
Chicago White Sox starter Davis Martin said he walked over to Luis Robert Jr. after Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies and gave the center fielder a hug. Martin told him, 'If that's the last game we play together, that was awesome. You making those plays.' Robert showed why he has been mentioned in trade speculation, displaying defense and power for the Sox in a 6-2 victory in front of 15,106 at Rate Field. The MLB trade deadline is Thursday. In English, Robert said he's handling the next few days, 'day by day.' He added through an interpreter: 'A good amount of my friends have been sending me photos and text messages with rumors and all that stuff but I tried not to pay attention to that.' Robert's focus remained on aiding the Sox. In the top of the fourth inning, he made a diving catch in right-center to rob J.T. Realmuto of an extra-base hit. 'Luis making a great play kind of set the tone for the rest of the game,' said Martin, who allowed two runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. Martin also made a stellar defensive play of his own, tumbling to get to a Nick Castellanos grounder before getting to his feet and throwing him out to end the fifth inning. Robert batted with one on and two outs in the bottom of the fourth. He lofted a long fly to right. The ball kept drifting and landed over the wall for a tie-breaking two-run home run. 'At first I thought I missed it,' Robert said. 'But I think the wind carried the ball.' Manager Will Venable added: 'That was a really good one. Luis put himself in a really good spot, continuing to take good swings on good pitches, and obviously the backside damage right there, so it was great to see.' Robert has recently dealt with various bumps and bruises. He returned to action Sunday as a designated hitter after missing the first two games of the City Series against the Chicago Cubs because of right adductor tightness. He was hit by a pitch in the ninth inning. X-rays on his right forearm were negative. That did not keep him out of Monday's lineup. 'Thank God the ball hit me in the part of the arm where there's enough muscle there,' Robert said. 'Today was a little sore but nothing major.' Additionally, he was back in center field. The Sox fell into a hole after a two-run double by Bryce Harper in the third inning. Colson Montgomery hit a game-tying, two-run home run in the bottom of the third. Robert put the club ahead one inning later with the 99th home run of his career. 'I think every baseball player, that's a significant amount of homers,' Robert said of possibly reaching No. 100. 'I think in my case, injuries or whatever, I haven't gotten there yet. But once I get there, that will be a very good accomplishment. I will be very happy.' Robert has also been happy with his recent production. He's 9-for-25 (.360) with two home runs, eight RBIs and 10 runs since the All-Star break. 'I'm feeling good,' Robert said. 'Not swinging at the pitches out of the strike zone and that has been the key.' Lenyn Sosa and Montgomery added RBI singles in the eighth as the Sox (39-68) took the opener of the three-game series. And now Robert and his teammates wait to see what's ahead. 'Wherever he goes, he's going to make an impact — whether it's on our team this year or next year or somewhere else,' Martin said. 'He's a phenomenal baseball player. I don't know how you can't watch him play baseball and think he can't help you win at the highest level.'
