Cooper Flagg stands alone in NBA history after Friday.
The Dallas Mavericks rookie became the youngest player in NBA history to record a 50-point game at 19 years and 103 days old, posting 51 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in a 138-127 loss to the Orlando Magic.
Flagg is also the ninth rookie in NBA history to post a 50-point game, joining Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Earl Monroe, Brandon Jennings, Elgin Baylor, Elvin Hayes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Allen Iverson. None of those players were teenagers when they reached the half-century mark.
Flagg’s previous career high was 49 points, which was also the previous high in NBA history for a teenager. He has time to break the record again, as he doesn’t turn 20 until Dec. 21.
