This is so much better than the soulless presentation of the 2024 lottery which glossed over a lot of info that this one included.

So many people were big mad when my Magic's ball came out of the hopper first. This caused a massive change to the NBA Draft Lottery's rules. The Magic benefited from finishing a tiebreaker out of the playoffs (the Pacers won the season series). I love the results, though!

They've won this thing 4 times!

[@fortynights1513]

What changed? And would they not qualify for the lottery now?

[@marcus813]

@@fortynights1513 The NBA altered its lottery system to give the team with the worst record a much better shot at obtaining the first overall pick. I doubt we'll see what happened in 1993 happen again.

Shaq and C Webb together🎉

The Mavericks had the worst luck, I’m telling you. They had by far the worst record, yet came up fourth in the draft?

[@demarcotrammell9990]

Do you have any more draft lottery shows?

[@SomaliLiger0]

I think I have 1996, 1997, and 1998 somewhere. Got to check my old hard drives.

[@christianedits]

Can you post 1997 please?

[@fortynights1513]

Does anyone know what music track starts playing around 0:46?

[@SomaliLiger0]

No idea! Was trying to find it myself..
