New York – Without doubt the biggest secret in the history of sport, the Dallas Mavericks officially officially when they selected the superstar of Duke Cooper Flagg with the overall choice n ° 1 of the draft of the NBA.
From the moment when the Mavericks won the NBA recovery lottery on May 12 to Wednesday, this moment was never in doubt. But conspiracy theorists believe that Flagg became a freezer long before May 12.

Dallas shocked the world of sport in early February when he apparently exchanged his franchise player Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in an agreement to three teams that also involved Utah Jazz. In return, the Mavericks received Anthony Davis. But have they also received the first choice of the NBA 2025 draft so that they can select Flagg? This is the question that circulated the internet.
For his part, Flagg did not care to address the theorists of the internet conspiracy when Outkick asked him on Wednesday evening.
“I don’t know what to say about it,” said Flagg with a little laugh. “I have no initiates if that’s what you’re looking for, but I just feel blessed for the way everything worked.”
The NBA commissioner Adam Silver essentially denied that this is the case earlier this week, when he declared on a podcast that he only discovered the Doncic Commerce hours before the rest of the world.

“Luka is a good example where the teams are very secret, they do not necessarily do us to switch us. We had heard of it before the public, but it was only a question of hours,” said Silver, while adding that he does not have the veto power in the professions – not that he would have done this, anyway.
This does not prevent people from wondering. What are the chances that the Mavericks will exchange their best player to the Los Angeles Lakers – the most popular NBA franchise – and three months later, have reached less than 2% chance of writing a player who should be the next big superstar of the League?
Well, the answer is a 1.8%chance. And it happens.
Obviously, the NBA will never admit that it has rigged a drawing lottery and, frankly, the chances are quite slim. In the end, Cooper Flagg is now an NBA player for the Dallas Mavericks and has a chance to become the next face of the League.

The NBA also needs it, because the notes decrease at a quick pace. The league desperately wants Flagg to become the next large superstar that attracts occasional sports fans to professional basketball. That it can be this guy remains to be seen.
