In the video, rookie Cooper Flagg stood out as he reacted excitedly as he tested his stroller in the parking lot. Veteran Klay Thompson also made an appearance, joking around on the ride and reviewing the ride. The light reactions helped the clip gain traction, turning it into a feel-good moment for the Mavs during a difficult season.

Irving has not played this year due to the torn ACL he suffered last March, making his injury status a frequent topic among fans. Even while he’s on the sidelines, his presence continues to resonate in the locker room. The gesture followed a community event earlier in the day, highlighting his continued engagement with Mavericks teammates and fans.

At 10-17 and currently out of the playoff picture, the Mavericks have suffered injuries and mounting pressure. Still, the moment briefly changed the narrative, reminding fans that leadership can emerge in unexpected ways — especially during the holidays.
