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 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.
