LeBron James is the only other 18-year-old to score 35 points in an NBA game, having done so twice as a rookie for the Cleveland Cavaliers in December 2003. James' first 35-point game occurred when he was 18 years, 348 days old, five days older than Flagg on Saturday night. The highlight of Flagg's career-high scoring outing was a spectacular drive and two-hand dunk over Clippers center Ivica Zubac, an All-Defensive selection last season. Flagg attacked the basket relentlessly throughout the game, going 13-of-22 from the floor with eight buckets within three feet of the basket.
