Kidd took to social media to celebrate the moment, posting a heartfelt message : “Thrilled to see Cooper Flagg recognized with the NBA Rookie of the Year award. Your feel for and commitment to the game are truly special. Congratulations and enjoy this moment. This is just the beginning.”
It was a fitting tribute from a Hall of Fame point guard to the player who has quickly become the face of the Mavericks’ franchise rebuild. Kidd’s words, “this is just the beginning”, carry the weight of someone who has watched Flagg up close every single day and understands just how high the ceiling truly is.
Flagg’s rookie campaign was nothing short of extraordinary. The former Duke standout brought a winning mentality, elite instincts, and a maturity far beyond his years to Dallas from day one.
The culture Kidd has built around Flagg in Dallas makes his award even more special. The Mavericks relied heavily on their young star this season, and he played with a level of consistency rare for a teenager in the NBA. Flagg is now in charge of the Dallas Mavericks ’ next chapter, which is a big change for the team’s rebuilding process.

For a team still finding its identity in the post-Luka Doncic era, Flagg’s Rookie of the Year award is more than just a personal accolade it’s a signal to the entire league that Dallas is building something special. And if Kidd is right, the best is still very much to come.
