June 25, 2025, marks a turning point for the Dallas Mavericks. In a stunning twist of fate, the franchise secured the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft—despite having just a 1.8% chance—thanks to an improbable Lottery win. With the top selection, Dallas chose Cooper Flagg, the highly touted forward out of Duke already hailed as a potential generational talent.
Flagg, dressed to impress, stepped onto the stage at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center as NBA Commissioner Adam Silver officially ushered in the “Flagg Era” in Dallas. The rookie’s arrival signals a new chapter for the Mavericks, especially in the wake of Luka Dončić’s controversial midseason departure. After months of upheaval, trades, and disappointment, the franchise is now rebuilding around its new cornerstone.
