00:02What's up GQ? I'm Coober Flagg and these are my 10 Essentials.
00:16All right, so essential number one I would say is this Poga, portable gaming systems,
00:25New Balance actually gifted me my first Poga. It's a PlayStation in here with a monitor.
00:29I open it up. So you can kind of see. Got the monitor in there. There's a PlayStation controller.
00:43But yeah, it's perfect for going on the road. Really useful. Last year I was at Duke.
00:47Used it a ton. We would go on bus rides. We drove to Wake Forest's. We won the game and
00:51then we were driving back that night and we set it up on the bus and me and the guys
00:55were
00:55playing 2K in the back of the bus. It's perfect for being on the road and playing the game.
00:59There's a lot of guys on the team. PJ plays the game a lot. I know he has one of
01:02these.
01:03Daniel Gafford plays it all the time on every road trip.
01:05What's the grail of your game that you haven't gotten yet?
01:08GTA 6. I feel like I was kind of too young when GTA 5 really came out. So it'd be
01:13cool
01:13to kind of experience, you know, a new GTA.
01:20So next to Central 2K, probably my favorite game of all time, you know, anticipate the release
01:26every single year, spend some money, upgrade my player, play with my friends. I've been
01:31playing every year for six or seven years now. So it's a really good time. My all-star starting
01:36five of any era. I would say Magic Johnson at the one, Michael Jordan at the two, Kobe at the
01:43three,
01:45Larry Burr at the four, and Kareem at the five.
01:51Some tops, chrome packs, you know, I'm a fanatics partner. I've become pretty addicted to opening
01:56cards and, you know, having the thrill of, you know, trying to pull myself. I've actually got a couple
02:01really good autographs from some of my teammates. I've got a Sion, a couple of Tyrese's, Liam McNeely,
02:07Derek Queen. I've got pretty much all my teammates at this point. I'll open some up.
02:13All right, Thomas Storber, new teammate, Tyus Jones.
02:19Cade Cunningham, another Montverde, and then Kevin Herter. It's numbers. That's actually a pretty
02:25good card. Let's see if I can get myself.
02:28Derek Watkins, Joe Ingles, Kelly Oubre. There we go. I got myself.
02:37Next one, you know, my iPhone, probably the thing that I use the most every single day,
02:42riding on TikTok to looking things up or making phone calls, business texts, whatever it is.
02:47Thanks to AT&T, it keeps me really connected to all my people back home. I'm more of a texter,
02:52for sure. You know, I don't love FaceTime, you know, I only FaceTime with certain people.
02:55My last FaceTime was actually to my former teammate, Kong Knipple. You know, he's here
03:00with me at the All-Star weekend. And so I was checking in on him to see how he was
03:04doing.
03:05What app do you think you use the most?
03:06What app? I definitely use Country Roll the most. It's the best for having, you know,
03:10everything from, you know, English dub to sub anime and Japanese and stuff.
03:15I've kind of got a cool phone case on here. It's One Piece. I watch a lot of different
03:20animes. You know, One Piece is one of my favorites.
03:21What I love about anime, for me, it's just the story. One Piece, for example, is a longer anime.
03:26I like just following along with, you know, different characters and seeing how they develop
03:30over time and get stronger. It's pretty cool to me.
03:36All right. Another essential, you know, for me, it's actually a two-in-one.
03:40I've got the duffel bag first. It's actually, you know, one of the new bounces.
03:43New duffel bags just got released in the new collection. The duffel bag is obviously essential.
03:47I put all my on- and off-court, you know, things in here that I need.
03:52Really well-rounded and, you know, versatile and essential for me when I'm traveling all the time.
03:57Let me move this to the next thing.
04:05New Balance 993 Made in USA.
04:08Off-court lifestyle shoes here. This campaign in general is really special to me.
04:12I take a lot of pride in, you know, where I'm from, you know, growing up, being born and raised
04:16in Maine.
04:17New Balance, obviously, having that connection, you know, to my home state and, you know, having stores
04:21and locations in Maine. Scalhegan, you know, I've told this story a couple times, but, you know,
04:26my mom used to go and do her back-to-school shopping at a pop-up tent sale that New
04:30Balance would do in
04:31Maine. So it's really cool, you know, the Made in USA and just having that pride and representing the country.
04:37And then, you know, go along with the shoes. I've got the Hezilo, you know, V2s, you know,
04:44my shoe of choice. What I've started my NBA career with. I'm wearing these shoes in every single game
04:49so far in different colorways. I mean, I'm rocking with the green pretty heavy. I've won these in a
04:54bunch of games. I played really well in them. Had some pretty big games in the green shoes. I think
04:58it's just a vibrant, loud color that, you know, kind of speaks volumes and sticks out on the court.
05:03These are definitely an essential for sure.
05:08Next, the Meta bin, Meta sunglasses. So, yeah, this is the Oakley Metas. Pretty cool.
05:17Obviously, I'm from, you know, Maine. I like to be outdoors a lot. In the summer,
05:20I'm on the lake all the time, you know, out on the boat, you know, my family. So,
05:24staying cozy and comfy out there in the sun.
05:27Is there some, like, activity you want to do with these?
05:30Maybe golfing. I think that would be fun. You know, the next time I go golfing,
05:33bring them out and kind of record my swing and kind of see what it looks like from that POV.
05:38I try and mess with my teammates, record them without them knowing, stuff like that.
05:41I'd say there are probably some more fun things out there. We had a team group chat,
05:45you know, last year, specifically at Duke, where, you know, we would send a lot of crazy videos of
05:50one of my teammates come on. My watch was hiding in the dark and then scaring people throughout the
05:54entire year. I think he even got coached at one point. Next essential, I got my chain.
06:0232 chains. It's the first chain that I ever got. That's my number. It's the number my mom wore,
06:07and that's really the reason why I wear it. So, it's pretty special to me. I got it last year
06:11during the season at Duke, and it was a gift. How do you feel about jewelry in general?
06:17I don't think I'll get into it as much as a lot of people. Obviously, it's another way that, you
06:21know,
06:21guys can express themselves and all that sort of stuff. So, I think it's pretty cool, but, you know,
06:25I don't think I'll get too huge into it. Maybe a couple of new ones, maybe a new one at
06:29some point.
06:29A nice simple chain, I think, you know, it's definitely an essential.
06:37Next, my Gatorade bottle, and this is my custom one that, you know, I made around draft time.
06:42So, it's pretty cool. Got a bunch of family things on here, family's initials, state of Maine,
06:48whatever it takes to win, my autograph, Dallas.
06:55Gatorade, in general, is essential to me. Since a young age, I've been drinking Gatorade,
06:59you know, to keep me hydrated and fueled and ready to go. Playing basketball, not playing basketball,
07:05eating dinner. My favorite flavor is green apple, and then I like riptide brush a lot, too. So,
07:11those are the two that, you know, are the most hydrating for me. Yeah, Gatorade is definitely an essential.
07:20All right, another essential. Toiletry kit, toiletry bag, whatever you want to call it,
07:24dob kit, whatever. Definitely an essential. Obviously, in the league, we travel a ton.
07:28Have your stuff to stay fresh, you know, stay clean. That would have, you know, my toothbrush,
07:33soaps, travel shampoos, shaving, you know, what do you call it? Shaving tools, shaving utensils.
07:40Also got some deodorants, and this is some body wash or something inside. Old Spice. I've been rocking
07:48with Old Spice for the longest time. I would say Fiji from Old Spice is probably my favorite scent
07:53from them. It's kind of tropical, you know, warm. Reminds me of the summer, so that's why I like it.
