Cooper Flagg remains one of the most special young basketball players on the planet. And on Sunday night, he did something no one has ever done in NBA history, not even LeBron James. Flagg's stats in a Dallas overtime win were 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal.

All of this prompted Stephen A. Smith to go off on James, claiming the only reason he is eager to come back is to stat-pad and enhance his GOAT status.

LeBron James' son, Bronny James, got his first start of the season and second of his career in Saturday's clash between the LA Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks.

Russell Westbrook, now playing for the Sacramento Kings, joined LBJ in that club. Russ needed his 10,000th assist, which he got Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves on a lime green court during NBA Cup action.

Austin Reaves scores 31 points and Luka Doncic finishes with 24 points and 12 assists to lead the Lakers to a 118-104 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Bronny James suited up for the LA Lakers in their blockbuster battle against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.

Austin Reaves is already looking like an All-Star for the Los Angeles Lakers just five games into the season. With both LeBron James and Luka Doncic sidelined, Reaves has been carrying the load for Los Angeles over their last three games.

Luka Doncic made 18 of 20 free throws and five of 11 three-pointers as the Lakers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 119-95 to go 3-2 on their five-game trip.
