Cooper Flagg now has 4 games with 20+ points — only LeBron James (14) has had more as an 18 year old

  1. Yes keep in mind a chunk of players never even had the opportunity to play in nba as an 18 yr old so it’s a bit of a skewed stat

  2. 13 games in 35 days to go.

    LeBron had an extra 9 days.

    Kobe had a whole season at 18.

  3. What the list shows is only a number of players have played this young and of those that put up numbers all have gone to become great hall of fame players. Flagg is right in line to do the same.

  4. Unlikely but he could theoretically pass him if they started using him like they should. 13 games before he’s 19.

    LeBron had 31 games at 18. Coop will have 27.

    LeBron had 5 and Coop has 4 in their first 14 games.

    LeBron really took off in mid December with multiple 30 point games.

  5. Kobe had Shaq. Flagg is pretty much the #1 option at this point.

    If Kobe went to a pre-Shaq Lakers, he would’ve had 30 20+ pt  games.

  6. Rumor is that Nico was fired bc he was going to trade Flagg for Bradley Beal and two firsts
