You might be retarded. EY is paid to go along with the NBA's plan. They have no moral or legal obligations to expose the rigging to the world
This is getting better and better
First “why don’t they show the actual lottery balls”. The entire premise of this thread thought the process wasn’t transparent
Then we prove to y’all they film the entire process, with media members and every team represented, and list it online for the world to see
Crickets and moving of the goalposts follows

For the same reason there is no transparency in officiating.
One day it will click and many will quit watching.
The NBA, however, appears to have a fan base that is fine with social media outrage and WWE style entertainment. To each their own.

It's not fraud if everyone but the public is in on it.

Who is going to challenge it?
The owners?
I think they are happy to have the league healthy.
The league is healthier and gets more press if the lakers are good.
E and y knows that so they can sign off on it no matter what because everyone is fine with it.
Fans?
I’m not going to sit here and say definitively it’s rigged but E and Y has nothing to do with that.

Apparently every team in the lottery has a representative present at the ball drop. So, if it is indeed rigged, the whole NBA is in on it. Not sure why the teams that get screwed would be cool with it.

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?
They still have the video of the process that they make available.

Are you telling me a team that lost one of the greatest players of all time and went 19-63 ended up getting the first pick in the draft??

conspiracies are wonderful and make a lot of sense until you start to actually think about it

There is zero chance of a legsl incident happening from an nba draft. The draft was worked for the mavs to get the top pick. And there is a much greater than 1% chance this is true

How much greater? Something can be possible with such a low chance of probability that it doesn’t matter.

The nba is not publicly traded it's a private organization EY has no liability. Who gets to see the draft books? The teams split the TV deal evenly, local TV deals are done on a team level ans stadium and concessions are done at a team level.
If you don't see the dots it's a choice.
Silver to ( Dallas owner) please send LA Lakers a young superstar under contract to help a fading LeBron and we (nba)will get you the #1 pick when you had less then a 1% chance to get it.

A sample size of one. Calhoun never actually worked in public accounting. I'll see your sample size of one and raise you Phil Knight, who worked for Coppers Lybrand. Your move.

Actual transparency and balls falling, but it still won’t appease mouth breathers
I am not saying it is rigged. However, why don't they televise that? It would make for better tv than the current NBA lottery reveal show.

Kinda agree..but why do it in that manner?

But do they? You saying it doesn't make it true, just like me questioning it doesn't make it false.
Wasn't there a thread on here the other day discussing probability & the draft? The conclusion was that it was about the same odds as flipping a coin & getting heads 100x in a row. That just screams rigged imo.

But that isn’t how probabilities work. If so, every single power ball winner is absolutely rigged right? Because those odds are astronomically worse

This isn't quite the same as powerball, which is truly random. The probablities are supposed to be weighted based on record. But the picks have conveniently favored teams already considered the NBA's favorite markets, to a degree far beyond any expected statistical outliers.
I'm not saying it's true, but it's a very easy conspiracy to write
