AD once had no idea that LeBron James broke the all-time scoring record. Tonight, he had to be told that his youngest teammate did something great, too.
Flagg had 33 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in the 131-130 win over the Denver Nuggets. He’s short of a double-double, or even triple-double but he’s a teenager. A generational talent too. And the second time Dallas has had one of those.
AD was informed about Flagg’s accomplishment in the locker room. And The Brow raised a few brows with his response. “Oh s–, I didn’t know that. Ooh. He’s not good enough to get a triple-double.” Backhanded compliment much?
Anthony Davis was surprised when he found out Cooper Flagg had a 33-9-9 game: “Oh shit. I didn’t know that. Ooh. He’s not good enough to get a triple-double, I guess…I think I took one of his rebounds, too. But that’s a hell of a stat line, especially with a win.”
