The Dallas Mavericks won the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery despite entering the night with only a 1.8% chance to do so, and this unlikely event made the team's war room explode with cheers from controversial general manager Nico Harrison and the rest of the front office.

The Dallas Mavericks landing the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft on Monday night in Chicago gave general manager Nico Harrison an unreal chance to win some fans back in June.

The Dallas Mavericks will take part in the 2025 NBA draft lottery in Chicago on Monday night. The Mavericks hold No. 11 position out of 14 teams heading into the draft lottery. The franchise has a 1.8% chance to claim the No.

However, the cream of the crop remains the Los Angeles Chargers, who have the best schedule release every year. In honor of the Minecraft Movie, they did their entire schedule release in Minecraft, taking shots at any and everybody possible. That somehow includes the Dallas Mavericks.

Two years ago, San Antonio won THE lottery and drafted Victor Wembanyama. Last season, the Spurs drafted fourth and took Stephon Castle out of UConn, who went on to win Rookie of the Year.

The 2024-25 NBA season has been nothing short of a roller coaster for Dallas Mavericks fans.

Which brings us to what fans and talking heads are wondering: would Nico Harrison really trade the No. 1 pick that he just got in the 2025 NBA Draft ... for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

The Dallas Mavericks moved up 10 spots in the lottery to earn the right to pick Cooper Flagg in the 2025 NBA draft.
