Sequence between Cooper Flagg, Bronny James goes viral during Mavericks-Lakers

Bronny hit the first two shots of the game, one being a three over Flagg, while Flagg got off to a slow start when he missed his first two shots. Once Flagg got going, Bronny took the challenge and wanted to defend him at a high level.

During the second quarter, Flagg tried to post up Bronny James on the left side of the floor. Bronny poked the ball free, but it was called a foul. Flagg responded by getting the inbounds in the same spot, rising up, and hitting a jumper over Bronny. Many of Flagg's new Mavericks teammates, like Kyrie Irving and P.J. Washington, happened to be sitting right next to the play, too.

Flagg started slowly, but he quickly got more comfortable as the game settled in. By halftime, he had 10 points, two steals, three rebounds, and an assist. For being the second-youngest draft pick ever, it's an impressive display.
