High school basketball sensation Cooper Flagg may be just 16 years old, but he’s already reportedly going toe-to-toe with NBA All-Stars… and talking trash while he does it.
Flagg, who turned heads at Nike’s Peach Jam tournament in July with otherworldly statlines that even drew attention from LeBron James, is rumored to have faced off with Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal at Jayson Tatum Elite Camp. According to former NBA player Brian Scalabrine on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Flagg was “busting” Beal in the one-on-one matchup, and talked enough trash that Beal “started cussing him out.”
“This dude is a major trash-talker. … So I guess the rumor is that Brad Beal and him were squaring off 1-on-1 and Brad Beal was taking it lightly. It’s a high school kid. Then Cooper started giving it to him,” Scalabrine said. “And I guess the rumor is, Cooper started talking trash and Bradley Beal got mad. Really mad.”
