In today's NBA preseason, the Mavericks will face the Hornets at home. Kidd accepted an interview with the media before the game.

Talking about Flagg, Kidd said: "His maturity is far beyond that of his 18-year-old peers. The most impressive thing is his pure belief in winning. He cares about the team, focuses on victory, and will go all out to win the game."

"He has always maintained a high-intensity competitive state, and what is even more rare is the determination to dare to step out of his comfort zone." Kidd said.
