Former Duke star Cooper Flagg impressed the NBA throughout the 2025-26 season, earning the Rookie of the Year Award over his former Duke teammate Kon Knueppel. Following the presentation of the trophy, Flagg received a special gift, coming from one of his endorsement partners, Chime.
Flagg had starred in a commercial for Chime that aired during the season, alongside NBA legend and Flagg’s favorite player, Larry Bird. A video of the gift from Chime showed a custom jacket made by legendary designer Jeff Hamilton. Hamilton is also in the video, discussing his creative process. For those that don’t know, Hamilton holds a special place in NBA history, making iconic jackets for past NBA stars like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and now Cooper Flagg.
