The basketball gods just did something wild — the Dallas Mavericks, with just a 1.8% chance, walked away with the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery. Yep, the same Mavs who were barely even in the running are now sitting on a golden ticket… likely named Cooper Flagg.
Flagg, the 18-year-old Duke sensation from Maine, has been everyone’s projected top pick. He’s been compared to generational talent already, and after averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 boards, and 4.2 assists while dragging Duke to the Final Four? Yeah, he’s that guy.
Naturally, the internet lost it. Some fans cried “rigged,” others just dropped a suspicious , and the conspiracy theories are flowing like Gatorade at a championship parade.
So now what? With Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and Flagg on deck, is Dallas about to become a problem? The Mavs just hit the jackpot, and the league might need to brace for impact.
(This is a developing story….)
