"I'm a Cowboys fan now," Flagg said.
Sportskeeda, December 10, 2025.
Last checked November 6, 2026: the quote still matched the page word for word.
What has Cooper Flagg said about the Dallas Cowboys?
Sportskeeda reported on December 10, 2025 that Cooper Flagg is a Cowboys fan, and the outlet attributed the line to him directly: "I'm a Cowboys fan now," Flagg said. Because the claim comes through that one outlet's report rather than a confirmation he has given elsewhere, it stands as reported. As of that date, the interest was current.
When did Cooper Flagg become a Cowboys fan?
The timeframe attached to the fandom is 2025, which is also the year the Dallas Mavericks took him first overall in the draft. Flagg's own phrasing, "now," points to something he picked up recently rather than something he carried from childhood. The relationship is classed as an adopted rooting interest, not an inherited one.
Did Cooper Flagg grow up a Cowboys fan?
Nothing in the record says so. Flagg was born in Newport, Maine, on December 21, 2006, and went to Nokomis Regional in Newport before moving on to Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida. He then played at Duke in 2024 and 2025. None of those places is tied to the Cowboys, and no source places the fandom before his move to Dallas. He has also said he grew up a New England Patriots fan, which fits a Maine upbringing but is a separate matter from the Cowboys interest.
Does Cooper Flagg like the Dallas Cowboys?
By his reported words, yes. "I'm a Cowboys fan now" is a plain statement of current rooting interest, and no outlet disputes it or reports that it has ended. The Cowboys are the NFL team in Dallas, the city where he now plays for the Mavericks, so the adoption lines up with where his job is. That is a geographic observation, not a claim about his reasons.
Which other athletes are Cowboys fans?
Several others are on the list. Shaquille O'Neal, Luka Doncic, Allen Iverson, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Paul, Tyrese Maxey, Cade Cunningham, Chris Bosh, Dennis Rodman and Julius Randle have each said so in their own words. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Russell Westbrook are reported fans, as is WNBA player Paige Bueckers. LeBron James used to be a Cowboys fan but no longer is.
