LeBron James' 18-Year-Old Scoring Record Broken by Cooper Flagg

LeBron James' long-standing NBA scoring record for an 18-year-old was broken on Monday by Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg, who dropped 42 points. James originally set the record on December 13, 2003, scoring 37 points against the Boston Celtics during his rookie season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. James and Flagg are now the only two players in NBA history to exceed 24 points in a single game at 18 years old, a mark also reached by Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant.
