This is what happens when you're the number 1 player in the Class of 2025, and there's incredible hype regarding all of your actions. Plus it's how legends are created, rightly or wrongly.

The story started circulating on Twitter -- or is it "X" now? -- that Cooper Flagg was going 1-on-1 with NBA player Bradley Beal and that Beal became frustrated and both started trash-talking.

"This story is untrue according to Cooper. That is all."

So take the rumor for what it is, simply a rumor.
