Flagg has passed Kobe Bryant (24) for the sixth-most 20-point games by a teenager in NBA history.
Days after Bam Adebayo has surpassed Kobe Bryant's 81-point masterpiece for the second most points by a player in a single game in NBA history, another star managed to break a key record by the late basketball legend.
Dallas Mavericks / Schedule
By dropping 25 points in a 138-105 losing effort against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, Cooper Flagg moved past Bryant (24) for sixth place in most 20-point games by a teenager in NBA history.
Flagg shot 8-of-16 from the field and nailed all his eight free throws, but he and the Mavs endured the tough loss at home.
Nevertheless, the reigning No. 1 overall pick has achieved a compelling achievement, who is averaging 20.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists in his first NBA season.
LeBron James (62), Carmelo Anthony (49), Kevin Durant (44), Anthony Edwards (36) and Luka Doncic (33) are still ahead of Flagg on the leaderboard, but the Dallas sensation is poised to be at the top should he maintain his superb scoring ways before turning 20 in December this year.
