Mods feel free to move if this is the wrong section

I thought it was interesting. And to be quite honest it made me nervous knowing so much rides on those ping pong balls at the end of the season.

Anyone know if Worthy was the Lakers rep behind the scenes here too? Or just in studio?

Dude calls out 4 random numbers and gives congrats to Cleveland. Yep, restored my faith in the lottery system.

How does that even work? They pick 4 lotto balls and then stops the machine and says "Congratulations Cleveland!"

Do they take the first 4 balls and subtract them or some (bleep)? Lol

I have a feeling we will get the #2 or 3 pick, and Knicks will select Okafor.

The 4 numbers represent a number combination. There's a whole big wall with all the number combinations on it. The team with the worst record has 25% of the combinations, 2nd worst 19.9% and so forth.

Best team in the NBA should get the number 1 pick every year...give teams a reason to try and win.

Reverse lottery where the playoff teams are only in it. Losing should never be rewarded and it shouldn't be a viable strategy in building a winning team. It's backwards.

The new CBA should have included a reformatted NBA draft to help further the goal of parity

A PG who can't shoot would be interesting in the triangle.
