Cooper Flagg appears to be the next young superstar in the NBA. After playing one season of college at Duke, he entered the 2025 NBA draft and was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the first pick. This marked the end of a tumultuous season for the Mavericks, who traded away their franchise player, Luka Doncic, earlier in the season in one of the most controversial trades in NBA history.<\/p>\n

Mavericks fans have had their emotions tested in recent months, including Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is viewed as one of the most dominant quarterbacks of all time, but he is also a huge Dallas Mavericks fan.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, USA Today posted an\u00a0interview\u00a0with Mahomes where he talked about various topics, including the Dallas Mavericks. He was asked about the Doncic trade and then getting Flagg as their new franchise piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took me a while [to process everything],\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cI was actually at home when the Donc\u030cic\u0301 trade happened in bed like I\u2019m sure a lot of people were, and I remember rolling over and waking my wife up to tell her, like she cared as much as I did. She basically put on a good face for me, but she rolled over, went back to sleep, and it kept me up for a couple hours.<\/p>\n
