It takes a lot to impress a seasoned professional who has committed their life to basketball. Years of practice, innumerable minutes on the court, and an acute sense of talent have sharpened their judgment. So, when a 16-year-old basketball prodigy manages to leave an indelible impression on someone like LeBron James, it is a pretty impressive feat.

However, days after impressing LeBron with his talent, the 16 YO baller managed to impress Stephen Curry at his camp.

Among the crowd of outstanding campers, one kid stood out like no other. While there were many potential young players eager to learn from the greatest at the camp, 16-year-old Cooper Flagg managed to capture Curry’s attention.

During the workout, Flagg dominated the floor with his explosive play. His basketball IQ, combined with his impeccable footwork sets him apart from his peers. The Golden State Warrior legend, stood by courtside, monitoring his every move.

Even though Cooper is ranked as the second-best player in the Class of 2025, he is widely regarded as the most promising NBA prospect across all of high school basketball. The 16-year-old stands at 6 feet 8 inches and weighs 200 pounds. Furthermore, as his performance from Curry’s camp shows, he is a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court.

Flagg burst onto the scene by winning a state championship. He claimed the coveted title of Maine Gatorade Player of the Year during his freshman year at Nokomis Regional in Newport, Maine. And now, he’s even emerged victorious in a game against an NBA Star, impressing LeBron James.

Cooper Flagg’s remarkable rise has certainly captured the attention of the basketball world. Even the game’s titan, LeBron James, couldn’t help but laud the young wonder. Fans witnessed his explosive play most recently during a 1-on-1 pickup game between Cooper Flagg and 3x NBA All-Star Bradley Beal.

It all began in Jayson Tatum Elite Camp, where Flagg faced Bradley Beal. Contrary to the expected move of a seasoned professional coaching an aspiring star, Cooper emerged the victor. Reports circulated that Cooper was outplaying Beal, resulting in an exciting clash of egos. According to sources, Cooper’s victory was accompanied by trash talk, laying the groundwork for a simmering rivalry. And LeBron James witnessed it all.

Following the game, a clip of LeBron James chatting it up with 16 YO prodigy hit the internet. And it went viral.
