Cooper Flagg, named the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks, expressed overwhelming gratitude for his family's support, particularly his mother. The moment was emotional, and he shared a special connection with his family as they celebrated. Maine Governor Janet Mills honored Flagg with 'Cooper Flagg Day,' emphasizing his significance to the state. Flagg is confident in his supporters from Maine, believing they will follow him to Texas and cheer him on as he embarks on his professional basketball career.
"I just looked at my mom. She was crying. And from then, it was just kind of a blur."
"She's probably just going to start crying. She's going to be happy."
"Maine Gov. Janet Mills proclaimed June 25, 2025, as 'Cooper Flagg Day,' calling the 18-year-old a 'source of tremendous pride for Maine.'"
"If not, they'll be on the TV, watching. I believe that. You know, I have an incredible support system for me."
