A rather festive event happened recently compared to the typical hard news the Dallas Mavericks have faced over the last year or so, as Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki hosted his annual Dirk Nowitzki Foundation Tennis Classic, as former teammates, friends, and celebrities gathered last Saturday to celebrate and raise money for charity.
Surprisingly, the newest Maverick in 18-year-old Cooper Flagg attended the event shortly after having his wisdom teeth removed back home in Maine, and it was clear Nowitzki will be giving Flagg all the mentorship he needs after the two met up for the first time at the event.
