Mark Cuban goes wild and his son Jake Cuban drops 1-word reaction as Mavericks get shot at drafting Cooper Flagg

The Dallas Mavericks won the No. 1 pick at the NBA draft lottery on Monday night and could use it to get it Duke standout Cooper Flagg. The win got team minority owner and alternate governor Mark Cuban, and his son Jake, all pumped up in excitement.

The Cubans shared on social media their elation over the Mavericks bucking the odds, with only a 1.8% chance, to get the top overall pick in the NBA Draft in June. They edged out the San Antonio Spurs, who are going to pick second.

In an Instagram post by Jake, his shirtless dad Mark can be seen with his arms raised, all smiles and screaming:

"We got No. 1!"

Jake captioned his post with a one-word reaction on what went down at the lottery, writing:

"COOOOOOOOPPPPPP"

Mark Cuban and his son Jake celebrate the Dallas Mavericks winning the No. 1 pick in the NBA lottery on Monday.

In landing the No. 1 pick, the Mavericks could use it to select Cooper Flagg as they regroup following the shock trade that sent Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers back in February in exchange for a package that included Anthony Davis.

Cuban, who used to be the majority owner of the team before he sold a large part of his stake to the Adelson family in December 2023, was among those who expressed reservations on the Doncic trade.

With the chance to get Flagg, Dallas is in a position to continue to improve and appease a fan base that felt let down with the departure of Doncic.

He added:

"Like I said, this entire experience for me has been amazing so going forward I'm going to look forward to being a two-way player. That’s something that I've done since I was a little kid so I'm going to try to keep doing that to the best of my ability."
