Patrick Mahomes drops 3-word reaction as Dallas Mavericks win NBA Draft lottery in Cooper Flagg sweepstakes

Patrick Mahomes might have legions of fans, but he took a moment to switch roles after the Dallas Mavericks won the 2025 NBA Draft lottery. The lottery was kind to Dallas, who ended up with the top pick this year and is expected to select Cooper Flagg.

Flagg was the National College Player of the Year in 2025 and won the Lute Olson, Julius Erving, and Wayman Tisdale awards.

Mahomes, who grew up in Texas as a Dallas fan, posted on X shortly after the lottery result.

"OMGGGGG!! Let’s goo!!!!!"

Patrick Mahomes' hope for Dallas Mavericks' future post-Luka Doncic potentially rests on Cooper Flagg

Patrick Mahomes was devastated when the Mavericks traded away Luka Doncic. Such was the impact that Mahomes brought it up before he was supposed to play in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs star said that it hurt his heart, but he was also excited that Dallas acquired Anthony Davis.

"Luka is such a franchise player. I know it hurt my heart as a Mavs fan, but I'm excited for the future and having [Anthony Davis]. It definitely hurts more than anything knowing Luka and the work that he put in and the time he's put in in Dallas and the city and how he's done so much for it. That's been the thing that's hurt me the most. But I'm excited for the future of the Mavs as well."

While nothing is set in stone and the Mavericks might choose someone other than Cooper Flagg, it looks very likely that the Duke player will make Texas his new home. If he has anything close to the kind of impact Patrick Mahomes has had on the Chiefs, the NBA franchise would consider itself very fortunate.
