2025 NBA Draft: Mavericks fans sing ‘Fire Nico’ at the team’s Draft Watch party in front of Cooper Flagg Pick
The Dallas Mavericks entered the first night of the draft of the NBA will surely leave the event as one of his “winners”. After ensuring the overall choice n. 1 and the rights for the draft of the star of Duke Cooper Flagg, the fans of Mavericks would have had a good night.
But they would also make sure that a man had still hurt himself. Mavericks fans have still found a way to corner the general manager of Team Nico Harrison in probably the best day of his career, singing “Fire Nico” at the team party.

It is almost too surreal, but it happened. While Dallas was at the clock, Mavericks fans let Harrison know that they were not yet to Luka Dončić’s trade.
Mavericks fans turned to Harrison after exchanging Dončić with the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis on the occasion of the most shocking NBA operations of all time. Dončić, a superstar in good faith, was the type of franchise of players who build his whole team around. The thought of exchanging a player of that caliber, especially at his peak, was unthinkable.
For fans, trade was unforgivable. Mavericks fans immediately protested the move, asking for Harrison to be fired. Fans even gathered out of the American Airlines Center to make their thoughts feel. Some fans spray the messages painted outside the stadium. Others brought a coffin to represent the death of the Maverick. While those meetings went out while the season went on, the fans still took every possible opportunity to launch themselves into “Fire Nico” songs.
Announcement
After the selection of Flag on Wednesday, Harrison met the local media to discuss the first night of the NBA draft of 2025. When he was asked if he thinks that the Flagg selection will consider a little of the glass he received from the fans, Harrison said: “I hope so. I assume it, a little. Maybe.”
If the reaction of Wednesday guard festival has been an indication, it will take much more than Flagg to make Mavericks’s fans forget to Dončić.
