TraumaER yes but relatively speaking they had a better chance of getting it as compared to the grizzlies and the pelicans who both had a 6% chance to get the top pick. If you have a 6% chance to the overall pick, you have a 94% chance of not getting it. What I’m trying to say is I don’t get the point you’re trying to make. Knicks fans are upset because given the odds they had, they really could’ve had it.

[@TraumaER]

@@alphakennybodee ok let me try to simplify this because it doesn't get much easier than this. Let's put 100 balls in a hat. 14 of those balls say Knicks. 6 of those balls say Pelicans. The other 80 balls are blank. You pull 1 ball out of the hat for the #1 pick overall. The odds that the Knicks get selected over the Pelicans is negligible at best. This is basic math that should have been taught in elementary school. Relatively speaking the Knicks and Pelicans had similar chances of #1 pick and similar chances of not getting the #1 pick. Don't let ESPN make you dumber. 90% of the people on ESPN are retarded.

Add that with the Ja news. Can we say that the 2019 draft class is one of the most newsworthy classes (newsworthy being in the news more often than not for things off the court, i.e. Zion drama, Ja gun, PJ Washington (Renner), Herro in South Beach, Poole punch, KPJ vs the city of Cleveland)?
