re: Why does a team from the West always win the lottery when there’s a generational talent?

Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic x2 disagree.
Dwight Howard wasn’t considered a generational talent at the time. He was an unproven high school kid out of Georgia and many people were vouching for Okafor to go #1. And Shaq was almost 30 years ago. I’ll give you LeBron. So that’s what, one generational player in the last 20 years compared to the five or six players that went to a Western Conference team?

We’re calling KAT a generational talent in this thread but not saying the same about Dwight Howard or Kyrie?
Sick.
Sick.

Yes he was. Not a Shaq, Duncan, or Davis but I’d put his pre draft stock ahead of Kylie Irving, who is also part of my x2 above.

They won it the year after drafting Shaq when Webber was the consensus top pick. They traded that pick for a king’s ransom that brought them Penny Hardaway and the bulk of their core through the 90s. Man if Shaq had stayed...

Yeah that’s pretty much standard for a generation
As for the 5 or 6, how many other than KD are generational talents?

How many "generational" talents can there be. A generational talent is usually a "once in a generation" type player but based on your OP you seem to think it happens every 5 years.

First of all, I don’t think you know what generational means if you think there have been five or six in the last 20 years.
Second of all, who are you talking about? Anthony Davis? KD?
Remember that KD wasn’t even the consensus number one best pic in his own draft
