Rookie Cooper Flagg brought showtime to Dallas this week. During the Mavericks’ matchup against the Pacers, the rookie scored over Mac McClung and hit him with the viral “too small” gesture.

The gesture came amid a solid night: 15 points and 10 rebounds in the win over the Indiana Pacers.
Fans split between calling it confidence or cockiness, but Flagg doesn’t seem to care. When asked about it, Flagg laughed it off.
“I think it’s about having fun; it’s something I’m trying to keep with me through everything,” Flagg responded. “It’s something the older guys have been talking about, just playing with a lot of joy. I’m trying to have fun, find those moments, and try to enjoy the game as much as you can. At the end of the day, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun, so trying to enjoy it to the best of my ability.”
The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Indiana Pacers 107-105 for their second win of the season. And they did it so in Flagg fashion!
