Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg is preparing for a much-anticipated rookie year. Indeed, an inordinate amount of pressure is being brought to bear on the young hotshot from Duke.
As a result, Flagg has found a way to keep him calm and motivated, NBA 2k.
It's true. Ronnie Singh “Ronnie 2k” is the face of marketing for NBA2k. He confirmed that Cooper regularly plays the game to prepare for the season, per Heavy.com.
Additionally, Flagg can form connections with the likes of Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis.
“I’ve been talking to Cooper Flagg a lot the last couple of weeks, and he’s already trying to shape up how he’s going to fit into that team by playing the NBA2K26 game with him, integrated with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis,” Singh said. “He might not get to play with Kyrie for a minute, so it’s kind of cool that he gets to simulate that, see how the off-the-ball movement is. Our AI is so good. It really simulates the authentic experience of being on the court.”
In the spring, the Mavericks were granted the top lottery pick in the NBA Draft. As a result, Flagg was selected as the No.1 pick.
Cooper Flagg is poised to become the face of the Mavericks
Undoubtedly, the Mavericks are looking to start anew following a chaotic season. A season in which they lost Luka Doncic in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Also, Kyrie Irving went out with a season-ending ACL injury. As a result, Flagg, with his all-around talent, is poised to become the focal point for the new generation of the Mavericks.
The hype surrounding him is palpable and very warranted. Through all of that, it only makes for him to find a healthy outlet to release energy and psyche himself out.
Going from level to level if you will.
