He should only score 19 for the rest of the season out of respect

My god lebron.

The Athletic about to run a crazy hit piece about this

This isn’t a fair comparison because kobe actually earned it and kobe shot better and kobe had it tougher and kobe played for the lakers and kobe kobe kobe. Kobe. 

Koby fans ⁹⁄₁₁ this season

sam amick: why cooper flagg needs to shut it down now

Kobe’s legacy hasn’t taken this many hits since Colorado 😂

Well Kobe fans are going to be real mad when Cooper Flagg lands that helicopter in 25+ years

Format the list with a line break between each player 

1. Wilt

2. Bam

3. Flagg

4. Shai

5. KOBE 😤

Even more impressive is the fact that Melo played a year in college before going to the Nuggets, essentially giving him not even one full season as a teenager to break the record.

Kobe was only able to do it 24 times, but ironically enough broke the record against the very same Denver Nuggets team. Look up “Kobe 19 year old Denver” for more info on this feat. If Flagg is really an ethical hooper, he’ll avoid breaking the record.

Sam Amick is fucking curious about this

So, he ought to pass Luka and Ant by early next season, but he might not catch Durant and Melo, unless he really improves on his 3 point shooting this off season.

(My math: 25 games with 20 points out 55 games played is 46%. If he maintains that pace, he’ll finish with 32 or 33 games with 20 or more points this year. With 25 ish games before his birthday in December, that would put him right at 43 or 44 20 point games as a teenager.)

Honestly, I didn’t think Flagg would be this good, this soon.

Rookie phenom with a dog shit supporting cast? Dallas playing reruns.

so what you’re saying is bryant didn’t have a green light to chuck shots

All I see in this thread is people saying “Kobe Fans…. blah blah” and yet I don’t see a single Kobe fan giving a crap lol.

Kinda surprised than Ant is above Luka considering Luka was alot better than him.

oh no how dare he

Rookie phenom with a dog shit supporting cast? Dallas playing reruns.

Yeah but Kobe shit uphill both ways and the rims only got hillier and hillier

LeBron continues to blow my mind

he going for it.

His below 20 pts games were mostly post injury and before Dec last year. Since Dec and before injury, only about ¹⁄₃ of his games are below 20 pts. With the performance of last game, he seems to have gotten his groove back. So barring any mishaps, he’s on pace to have ~35 20P games.

So he’s likely to pass Durant and possibly pass Carmelo.

Ehh hall of very good?  

Same thing with AD making the NBA top 75 team. 

I think we need some distance for perspective. 

Not a good year for Kobe..

Not very ethical of him tbh. What with 4 other teammates on the floor at any given time. [sarcasm for the humorously challenged]

when it comes to teenagers, Flagg is down at least 1-0 in another stat

This is truly the season of rapist erasure

Kobe stans having a terrible week rn

Watch out Colorado, Flagg coming for another one of Kobe’s records

Really should be in the play in tournament taking GS’s spot. I didn’t even realize Jimmy tore his ACL in January.

terrible week for Kobe lol

It is awesome but isn’t this also like comparing box office results without accounting for inflation

Kobe started 7 games over his age 18 and 19 seasons, Coop is the focal point of this team. Not as impressive as Kobe (especially counting eras) but Coop is still looking like an all-NBA guy in the making

How about we do 18 point games before turning 21?

I swear humans evolving into divisible by 5 and -teen suffix nut jobs is depressing. Resulted in a low iq player winning an MVP

Calling 18 and 19 year olds “teenagers” just to create more arbitrary achievements is stupid. Yeah, I know the word “teen” is in there, but these are grown ass men.
