It’s no surprise that Jason Kidd named John Stockton as the greatest passer of all time. After being selected by the Utah Jazz with the 16th overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft—the same class that featured Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Hakeem Olajuwon —the point guard gradually earned his spot until solidifying his role in the 1987–88 season.

The Dallas Mavericks lucked out, landing the No.1 overall pick, giving them a chance to select Duke phenom Cooper Flagg, a player widely regarded as a generational talent. The top-pick player is seen as a significant turning point for a franchise that endured a turbulent couple of months following an NBA Finals run just a season ago.

Jason Kidd envisions a monstrous lineup with Cooper Flagg at shooting guard, creating defensive chaos for Mavericks.
