Cooper Flagg Already Has Victor Wembanyama Beat in Key Area
To much fanfare and no surprise, the Dallas Mavericks selected Duke standout Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Flagg averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists as a freshman last season, sweeping national awards as the Blue Devils made the Final Four.
After making millions in NIL money last season, he's finally in The Show, and was signed to a $62.7 million deal over four years. He will make $13.8 million in the 2025-26 season, behind fellow Dallas Mavericks Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, and P.J. Washington.
Next season, fellow top pick Victor Wembanyama will make $13.3 million, and the collective bargaining agreement in place at the time allowed for him to make $55.2 million over his first two seasons.
Both players have team options in their contracts after their second season, and both are expected to be offered massive extensions before they can hit restricted free agency.

While Wembanyama has massive endorsement deals with Nike, Louis Vuitton, and Barcode, Flagg made an estimated $28 million in college thanks to NIL deals with giants like New Balance, Gatorade, and Walmart.
All in all, Flagg and Wembanyama boast stardom yet to be seen in the age of player empowerment. When LeBron James was a prospect, avenues for him to make money before being drafted were controversial. The same could be said for Davis and Zion Williamson.
Paolo Banchero was the first NCAA player with the top selection picked in the NIL era, and his pre-draft earnings paled in comparison to Flagg, who is well on his way to being one of the wealthiest athletes the world has ever seen.

South Korea to step up US trade talks before tariffs kick in on August 1
By Jack Kim SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea said it planned to intensify trade talks with the United States and considers U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for a 25% tariff from August 1 as effectively extending a grace period on implementing reciprocal tariffs. Trump said on Monday he would impose the tariff on goods from South Korea starting on August 1, posting a letter to President Lee Jae Myung on his social media platform along with one to Japan's leader. South Korea's Industry Ministry said in a statement that the letter effectively extends a grace period on the implementation of reciprocal tariffs by the United States. "We will step up negotiations during the remaining period to reach a mutually beneficial result to quickly resolve the uncertainties from tariffs," it said. "We also plan to use it as an opportunity to improve domestic systems and regulations to resolve the trade deficit that is a major interest of the United States and advance key industries through a manufacturing renaissance partnership between the two countries," it said. South Korea's top trade envoy and presidential security adviser have traveled to the United States in recent days for trade and defence talks as Asia's fourth largest economy races to seek an exemption from Trump's threatened tariffs. The Industry Ministry in the statement conceded it did not have enough time after the start of a new administration in South Korea to reach an agreement with the United States on all issues despite intense negotiations. South Korean President Lee took office on June 4 after winning a snap election after his predecessor's December martial law declaration, which he said had greatly impaired the country's response to U.S. trade policy and new tariffs.
