The Giannis piece in the MJS has a very Buzz's Bunch feel to it to me.

Cooper Flagg is the first teenager with 3 consecutive 30+ point games. I'm honestly surprised LeBron never did this.

Probably because Lebron was drafted into nearly the least pacey era in NBA era. Games averaged 10 less shots a game, and a whopping 23 less three point shots a game back then.

While true, rookie LeBron still took more shots per game (18.9 to 15.9) than Flagg and got to the line more often (5.8 attempts per game to 4.6). He shot fewer threes (2.7 to 3.5).
Flagg has been more efficient (.517 eFG/.562 TS%) than LeBron (.438 eFG/.488 TS%).

Well that's certainly impressive.
