Cooper Flagg dropped 51 on the Magic and then 45 on the Lakers back-to-back.

Cooper Flagg put on a show that the NBA hasn't seen from a teenager. Ever. He dropped 51 points on the Orlando Magic, then followed it up with 45 against the Lakers on back-to-back nights. He's the youngest player in NBA history with consecutive 45-point games, passing LeBron James.

The 51-point explosion made Flagg the first teenager to ever score 50+ in an NBA game. He did it efficiently too — not just chucking shots, but attacking from every level with a maturity that belies his age. The Mavericks rookie has completely taken over the Rookie of the Year conversation.

Coming into the weekend, Kon Knueppel was neck-and-neck with Flagg in the ROTY race. That debate is over. Flagg's 96-point weekend was the kind of statement that doesn't need context or caveats. He's the guy.
