LeBron James went on social media to express his thoughts on the Dallas Mavericks securing the first pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft. According to the NBA's official website, Dallas had a 1.8% chance of getting the lottery pick. Despite the low percentage, they still managed to secure the number one pick.

James went on X, formerly Twitter, and spammed a bunch of laughing emojis shortly after the Mavs were awarded the top pick.

Earlier this February, Dallas traded Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers for Anthony Davis. It was a trade that no one thought would ever happen. Now they have the number one pick in the draft.
