Cooper Flagg Shatters LeBron’s Record with Stunning 42-Point Explosion—But Why Did His Team Still Lose?
Cooper Flagg broke a decades-old LeBron James record Monday night, just days before his 19th birthday.
It still wasn’t enough to lead the Dallas Mavericks past the Utah Jazz.
Flagg dropped a career-high 42 points in a 140-133 overtime loss to the Jazz on Monday at the Delta Center. That broke James’ record for the most points scored in a single game by an 18-year-old in NBA history.

James, who was the No. 1 overall pick in 2003 right out of high school, set the record against the Boston Celtics in December during his rookie season when he put up 37 points as an 18-year-old. James and Flagg are actually the only players in NBA history to put up more than 24 points in a single game at that age, which they’ve done now a combined 14 times. Both Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant put up 24 points in a single game at that age early in their respective careers, too.
