Agreed, why not show the whole world the ping pongs being selected

You know why. People thinking this wasn't rigged have their heads in the sand.

It's actually insane that they don't draw the ping pong balls live. It would be awesome to watch also

It is audited and overseen by EY

People that think EY would go along with public fraud and risk their 50 billion dollar a year annual revenue company for the NBA draft are idiots

I agree with you, but optically this will never escape the rigged arguments.

They literally post it to YouTube

And, they get independently audited

Remember when they were trying to pass the gambling bill in Louisiana, the big selling points were Schools and Roads.

You think that is even relatively similar to rigging the lottery for the nba? They would very likely suffer the fate of Arthur Anderson and cease to exist

Also the lottery ping pong balls are filmed and posted for public consumption

It is a bit odd that the market who needs a star most seems to always get the first pick when an undisputed #1 is on the table

But do they? You saying it doesn't make it true, just like me questioning it doesn't make it false.

Dallas isn’t the market that needs a star the most. That would probably be Wizards and they’re 6th lol

I can’t say it’s always the case, but examples I can think of off the top of my head. Spurs miss the playoffs for the first time in forever, get wemby. Pels fans ready to jump off a cliff after a trade to LA, get Zion..also AD. Cavs fans miserable, get hometown LeBron. New start up franchise in a small market, get Shaq and another 1st the next year. Knicks season tix at all time low, get Ewing.

I’m not saying it’s rigged, it’s just weird

My theory after last night is we were promised Zion if we ignored the blatant tampering by LeBron/Rich Paul/Lakers-by-proxy

I’m almost positive I used to watch them draw the ping pong balls live. Like 9pm or so they would cut in from WWL News

No way that shite is made up in my head right?

You're being overdramatic.
