Brian Scalabrine, a former Celtics player and current team analyst, shared a rumor he heard that high school junior Cooper Flagg, who has an argument as the best prospect in the nation regardless of class, beat NBA all-star Bradley Beal during a 1-on-1 game at Jayson Tatum’s camp.
It led the basketball discourse cycle for 24 hours, as tens of thousands of people liked and retweeted posts about it. Beal himself commented and said it didn’t happen. But still, some (apparently) wondered — was Beal lying to save face?
