Another night, more basketball history for Cooper Flagg.
It seems pretty much standard at this point that the Dallas Mavericks‘ rookie, who was the No. 1 overall pick out of Duke, sets some kind of record or achieves some kind of long-ago NBA feat each time he takes the floor.
Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs was no different.
Flagg put up 32 points, his fourth consecutive game of at least 30 points.

He’s the youngest player in league history to score 30 in four games in a row, according to the NBA.
Flagg also made a bit of Michael Jordan history. He’s the first rookie since MJ in 1985 to have four consecutive games with at least 30 points and five rebounds, again according to the NBA.
Then, Allen Iverson gets added to the historic mix, too.
AI was the last rookie (1997) to record at least 150 points over a four-game span. Flagg has now done that, too.
With his 32-point performance tonight, Cooper Flagg is now:

Flagg’s 32 points, six rebounds and four assists on Thursday night came in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs, who got 29 points, 11 rebounds and six assists from Victor Wembanyama.
The Mavs shook things up at the trade deadline and are clearly building the roster around Flagg. The wins will come soon enough.
For now, Flagg just keeps making history.
