Since the last trade deadline, the Dallas Mavericks have faced some ups and downs. Changes were made, and uncertainty followed the Luka Doncic trade. However, things are starting to look clearer now.
The Mavericks seem to be preparing for Cooper Flagg to help restore the team. This is a significant responsibility for a 19-year-old joining the league, but Flagg is ready to take on the challenge.
Dirk Nowitzki offers guidance to rookie Cooper Flagg
In a recent interview with Mavericks icon Dirk Nowitzki for NBA on Prime, Flagg received valuable insights on how to navigate his early career.
Nowitzki’s opinion holds great weight in Dallas. He once carried the franchise and delivered a championship in 2011, with numerous achievements along the way.
“You’re already way far ahead of my curve,” said Nowitzki. “Your all-around game has already developed, it’s unbelievable. Never be satisfied. Don’t settle for Rookie of the Year or your first deal. I always aimed to keep improving, and that’s how I played for so long.”
