    Knicks need star: Get Patrick Ewing.

    Just saying man. Is that NOT fishy to you? Especially since they want to be so secretive about how this whole process is done?
    So what about the other 20+ year of draft lotteries?

    It sure is fishy but nothing to be so upset about. Bad GMs even things out regardless of what order the balls fall.

      I told myself earlier I wouldn't even get upset if we landed outside the Top 3.

      But now that it actually happened, I'm pissed because now if(when)Deron leaves, we'll have absolutely NOTHING to show for it. I have no hope for this team. ZERO Hope at all.

        1) there is video of stern rigging the first lottery (look it up on YouTube)
        2) the stories of teams winning the lottery is too "feel good"
        such as: rose going to the bulls, his hometown. Wizards getting number 1 after owner passing away. Cavs getting the #4 and 1 pick after lebron leaving. Hornets getting number one pick after getting a new owner, losing star player, and with hornets fans being upset that stern blocked a trade.

        Might as well call the NBA "wwe" and be done with it lol

              Were Cavs fans feeling this way last year?

              If Portland got the #1 pick some of you would say it's feel good because of Greg Oden's knees.

              Come on.

                  Maybe he just likes the hat. There are people that will wear a hat just because it looks good. Like I said before it could be rigged but who knows.

                  Iverson wore a Bill Russell Celtics throwback while playing for the 76ers so it could just be fashion.

                    they see the balls being drawn but they dont know what place they are in until it is shown on tv correct???

                    otherwise whats the point of showing their reaction. and if thats the case then stern can put the order in any way he wants.

                    Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd
                    I'm sure there's plenty of prostitutes you could pay if you really want vd.
                    yea but will they take psn cards
                    Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

                      Give it time. Vince McMahon didn't come out and say wrestling was scripted right away. Took awhile before he called it sports entertainment.

                          Everyone is talking about these too good to be true story lines on why teams get good picks.. What about in 2001 Kwame Brown, came out a HUGE bust.. I'm really dying to hear this one..

                            For everyone complaining about the process not being shown on TV, they've already done that and it was the one draft lottery that is widely considered rigged itself. Either way, the NBA can't win.

                                Which one was that? You wouldn't hear a peep from me if I saw the balls come out of the apparatus.
