I will say that the NBA lottery has been so obviously corrupt for years that it is disgraceful.

Somebody posted a pretty good summary of that a while ago. I'll have to see if I can find it.

Yeah NBA could do the result live and on screen if they wanted to but they'd rather have guys go where they want

To be fair, the NBA is built on an extremely solid foundation. The NFL's foundation is built on sand.

there is a reason the NFL is more successful than the NBA and there is a reason they easily stole holiday games from them.  The NFL model works better of making every team relevant essentially all the time.  

and that lottery is crooked.  Can't convince me they don't rig it to aid certain teams/markets where it matters.

When the Pelicans were temporarily owned by the NBA in 2019, they had a 6% chance of winning the lottery.  Remarkably, obviously an act of diving intervention, they won the lottery.  This increased the value of the Pelicans.

thats the bizarre part of this, if they wanted a show and not have conspiracy theorist raging today, why not simply show the balls being loaded into the tank and then have a 3rd party pull the balls?  They bring this poo on themselves.  The number floating today was .01% of what that outcome was last night.  Thats fuging bullshit.

      Wilmington hockey?

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
