00:00And of course, when you start at the very top, that's the main story coming in.

00:05The Dallas Mavericks winning the NBA draft lottery back in the month of May

00:09was a complete stunner. A 1.8% chance, the fourth worst percentage to ever claim

00:16the number one overall pick since the lottery became a thing back in 1985.

00:22And of course, it all circulates and follows what was a tumultuous year in Big D.

00:28Nico Harrison playing the villain around the NBA, trading the superstar in Luka Doncic

00:34to the L.A. Lakers. And I don't know if reward is the right word, but rewarded with the Cooper

00:39flag sweepstakes. And of course, Cooper's coronation tonight in Brooklyn has that first overall selection.

00:46Yeah, it's going to be fun to watch it play out. And we all the expectations where that Cooper flag

00:49was going to go number one. But we do have some shakeups that we're going to take a look at.

00:56you know, how much of a upset it would be for Cooper flag not to go number one,

01:02if you put a $100 bet down on Cooper flag going number one overall, you get 10 cents back in

01:13which I always find funny was those odds still stay up, but they do stay up for a reason.

01:17But for me tonight, you're just watching the coronation of a player that we think is going

01:20to be great. The minute that we saw the ping pong balls land and the number one overall pick

01:24went to Dallas, you knew immediately who that pick was going to be reminiscent of what you used to

01:28watch back in the day. Like, you know, the, Hey, I won the lottery in the 32 for the Orlando Magic

01:33came out right away. You know, he had the general manager holding up saying, Hey, it's Shaquille O'Neal.

01:37We don't have to wait here to the draft a month later. We won this guy. That's what you get out of

01:41the Dallas Mavericks with Cooper flag.
