Cooper Flagg has hit the NCAA world like a storm, almost single-handedly carrying Duke to the #2 rank in the country. Earlier this month, the Duke phenom's poster dunk against Pitt shook the basketball world on the same day as LeBron James' switch-up dunk went viral on social media.

And on Monday against the NC State Wolfpack, Flagg pulled off yet another incredible showcase of unreal athleticism.

A few minutes into the second half, Flagg ran coast to coast, split the defense in transition, and threw it down on NC State #12 Michael O'Donnell's head. The crowd in Cameron Indoor Stadium went wild as the 18-year-old Duke star brought the team back after being down in the first half.

Fans on the internet could not believe what they saw as they raved over Flagg and his incredible athleticism.

"SPLIT THE RED SEA", exclaimed one fan online.
"UNSTOPPABLE", said another fan.
"O'Connell looked like a spinning top", said one fan.

More compliments came flying in for Cooper Flagg's monster slam.

"THIS MAN IS DIFFERENT!!", said a shocked fan on X
"Watching this kid play hoops is sick", said another fan in disbelief.
"Insane", said a fan online.
