While Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has the usual pressure of being the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, the former Duke star is in a situation that sets up his rookie season to be tougher than even LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama’s first NBA campaigns.

A new rivalry may be starting. Cooper Flagg and Bronny James faced off in the NBA Summer League. A clip of Flagg trash-talking James went viral. Fans are excited about this potential rivalry. Flagg wasn't happy with his own performance.

The decision from LeBron James earlier this summer to pick up his player option for next season from the Los Angeles Lakers came with an important caveat from agent Rich Paul — the four-time NBA MVP wants the chance to win another championship before his career comes to an end.

In a recent mock trade put out by Bleacher Report, the Dallas Mavericks part with multiple depth pieces to acquire LeBron James.

Sports gaming platform Fantasy Life has raised $7 million from such investors as LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Gerry Cardinale, Jeff Shell and more.
