Rigged or Lucky? Mavericks Beat 1.8% Odds to Win NBA Draft

And it’s Flag with the steel going on a fast break and he slams it home. New wins in again. This kid is a true two-way player. Yes, exactly what the league needs right now. No, Adam. We all know the Lakers need a new superstar right now. Don’t you worry, Rob. Here’s the plan. Flag makes his move. Flag short. Any chance you forgo the draft now and go back to Duke for one more year? No. It’s time to move on. Really? Even if the Wizards get the first pick? Yeah, well, the NBA is where the amazing happens. The first pick in the 2025 NBA draft goes to the Dallas Mavericks. [Music]

After a controversial trade that sent their biggest star away for an injured AD, the Dallas Mavericks had only a 1.8% chance in the 2025 NBA Draft lottery. But somehow they pulled off the impossible and won the #1 pick. Was it pure luck, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?
