Jason Kidd Compares Cooper Flagg's Rookie Year to Michael Jordan After 51-Point Game

Cooper Flagg broke his own record on Friday night, something you don’t hear about with 19-year-old NBA stars.

He previously made the record in January when he scored 49 points. This also means he’s the youngest player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in a contest. He continues to set a high mark for rookies and for players who haven’t turned 20 yet.
