Looks like the Dallas Mavericks GM, Nico Harrison, can’t catch a break these days. He’s always making the headlines as his franchise received the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft 2025. Fans pinched themselves in disbelief at the following events after the draft lottery selected the 1.

The Mavericks ended a streak of dreadful lottery luck Monday, claiming the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft. With the top pick, the team has a shot at landing Duke superstar Cooper Flagg.
