[@jacobmulholland5123]

They had bird years on klay and dray

[@justinumeda]

if Steph didn't have ankle probs then wouldn't he delevop faster and as a result wouldn't be able to get talent to help him through the draft? idk if that's what you're trying to say lol

They got green in the second round tho so curry development wouldn't have a effect on green but it would on klay

[@ssj4randy759]

+Moustafa Mohamed naw the results were already done they just release the order live

[@mattfreeman4]

But everything happens in a closed room where no one is allowed expect the person doing it, so mutombo would have no way of knowing if the 76ers won or not

[@FIFA2YT]

+Matt Freeman he probably got connections

[@mattfreeman4]

+What are those? The people that know who won are kept in a room with no social media or phones so he actually has no way of knowing

[@gabkoost]

It is rigged when they stopped the CP3 trade that would probably prevent their favorite little bromance at the time to win rings in Miami. To this day there is no justification to stop a trade that would make the Hornets an instant PO team with Dragic, Odom at his prime and Martin plus draft picks. 5 years later both teams are still trying to build something worth it while CP3 wasted his career in a franchise of losers without being able to help one of the greatest players ever a decent and honorable run at his 6th ring. Clearly, manipulate markets and ownerships has always been the top priority of this league. This is supposed to make money and the options taken are all in this order weather it is by draft manipulating or any other way.

[@joenelsaracho4836]

GabKoost yup i was excited for a miami lakers for 4 straigth years but gilbert and cuban manipulate david stern to veto that trade

[@spencerswaggington]

This is my opinion, but we should all agree that they the NBA should make a better draft system. It can honestly be rigged and unfair at times.

[@paulraffa7968]

The actual lottery drawing happens before the show so who's to say he didn't find out from an associate or something and didn't realize the show didn't start yet

[@ricardovivas7686]

True for all we know the teams them selves know hours before who actually won the number 1 pick.

[@lakers824ripmamba9]

That wouldn't be possible because the people who know before hand are forced to stay in a room without any forms of social media or means of communication. It's explained more by Stephen A smith on ESPN first take

[@pezzypiff8375]

The drawing happens like an hour before. He tweeted like 2-3 hours before the lottery was aired.

+wtblack5 they do.....look no furthur than the sixers

[@willcarroll9762]

How do they work the odds? I mean it's not like they have a thousand balls..

[@loggingoffsao]

They have balls numbered 1-14 and they pull six balls and different number combinations are assigned to different teams for example this year the sixers had 250 combinations giving them a 25% chance to win

[@willcarroll9762]

and then they win it again the next year.........and BTW....they year they got shaq, the 3 expansion teams (ORL, CHAR, MINN) got the 1st 3 picks and all get a big man (Oneal, Mourning, Laettner) to build around......

[@PradigyMusicman]

Is the NBA Draft rigged, Yes, Fuck Yes. the first pick has been rigged many times. Don't forget about the NBA owned Pelicans getting the first pick then being sold to new owners.

bruh....all pro sports are rigged as fk.... i know its a shitty truth to accept, but its so obvious once you accept it.... of course, not everyone is in on the rigging. the people with the most power and influence are. ie; owners, staffing, coaches, superstars, even certain role-players. And, for them, it makes soooooo muuuuuch seeeeeense to rig outcomes of certain drafts, seasons, and playoffs and championships.

[@Jdlmixes]

I think he was just preparing for the possible chance of getting the pick and accidentally posted it. He probably would have posted it after he found who got the pick but if Philadelphia didnt, he wouldn't have posted it.

[@stealthkaizer]

The teams low on rankings are the ones have greater chances to get the top picks. Magic being a weak team getting first overall pick two years in a row made sense. No conspiracy there. You just don't know how the draft lottery works.

I believe the NBA is rigged except for that lebron conspiracy haven't you noticed that teams that once used to be good and worth a lot of money in the nba like the lakers for example are trying to get them draft picks to make them great again because they are one of the franchises with the most fans.

[@dirtyfacecapone2407]

I definitely believe the Cleveland/LeBron conspiracy. Funny how they couldn't draw any talent to play with Bron in Cleveland, he leaves for Miami, and all of a sudden they receive the #1 overall pick 3 times in 4 years. Went from nothing but Lebron, to being stocked with valuable assets.They took Kyrie Irving, Anthony Bennet, and Andrew Wiggins with those picks. The Wiggins selection really paid off. And I honestly believe the only reason the Cavs didn't win the lottery in 2012 was because the NBA had just took ownership of the New Orlean Pelicans.The NBA hooked themselves up with the #1 overall pick to select Anthony Davis!!!

[@Klxws]

Does it really matter if Ewing didn't win a ring? Yes, definitely lol if he ends up on a different team it would create a completely different NBA by the butterfly effect

[@Syzzle89]

of course the NBA is rigged no different than Wrestling, the knew the pick from time, DM tweeted it without realizing the repercussions...between point spread gambling, TV contracts, Small market vs big market (and small market teams are needed in this league to help offset players leaving for big markets otherwise everyone would try to go to LA, NY CHI or MIA), even my team the Raptors talent wise they shouldn't match up against alot of other teams in the league but we do and Game 5 Round 1 vs the Pacers this year was one of the biggest thrown games by REFS i've seen since 2002 game 4+6 of the WCF...but the draft is the worst by far I dont even think the NBA cares that we as the public KNOW they are rigging it

[@kiddkenzo]

[@king_supreme1102]

[@johncaparulo4800]

1993- There were 66 ping pong balls in the tumbler. The Mavs had the worst record, so they had 11 ping pong balls. The Timberwolves had 10 balls. Washington had 9 and so on down the line. Since Orlando had the best record of all the lottery teams, they had only 1 ping pong ball out of 66. The Magic also had the biggest young star in pro sports in 1993 in Shaq, while the most famous athlete on Earth (MJ) was about to announce an early retirement just 3 months later. The NBA had experienced unprecedented popularity in the years leading up to that time, due mostly to the star power of its marquee names and those names playing on teams that went deep into the playoffs. So after suddenly and suspiciously losing MIchael Jordan and his dynasty Bulls, the Orlando Magic somehow overcame insurmountable odds to eventually pair Shaquille O'Neal with Penny Hardaway, a player with whom he had just finished co-starring in a movie called "Blue Chips," which was set to release nationwide during the NBA season in 1994. That meant that the NBA would continue to rival even the NFL in popularity through MJ's stint in baseball, and somehow the rich men who ran the league and its franchises would just keep getting richer. If you think that men like that let their fortunes depend on the random bounce of a ping pong ball, then you should think again.

[@MJay_Ultra]

Let's just say the NBA powers that be are trying to get one for Cleveland in the worst way. 3 of 4 years they've ended up with the #1 pick? C'mon man! LeBron ruffled a lot of feathers with the infamous announcement and the assembling of the super friends. Therefore, the NBA over compensated for Cleveland's woes with the picks after of course, Dan Gilbert's bickering. The guy pens a revenge letter aimed at LeBron, spear headed the veto against the CP3 trade to LA, and spoke out against the formation of "super teams", only to construct one himself lol. Go figure.

[@cjarvis094]

Every sports league is rigged. As much as it's a game, it's a business. The NBA has big market teams like New York, Chicago, the LA teams, among others. And if you think, all of those teams have been very good at multiple different times. And if they aren't good, they will get draft picks, so they will BECOME good. Same goes with the Orlando thing with Shaq. They were an expansion team and basically the whole point of an expansion team is to get people to go to games, and if the team isn't good, they won't get attendance (I'm from Vancouver, I know about this, trust me), which means no money, which means no team funds, which means no team. Sorry for the huge paragraph I just tried to get everything out

[@carlojuden]

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THAT THE NBA IS LIKE WWE PEOPLE THINK THAT IT IS SCRIPTED OR WHATEVER HAPPENED IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IT'S REAL. Okay I could understand the situation with David Stern but seriously that was over 30 years ago

[@seeandsqueeze]

interesting video but a bit more digging and you'd see the reasons for the "rigging" theories. the cavs were fined 150k and head coach John Lucas was suspended for having a then 11th grade Lebron James attend a cavs workout. and that Cleveland's record the following year was so terrible because it was the lebron sweepstakes. they definitely were a bad team but they were tanking by letting Ricky Davis and dajuan Wagner run the show. I don't see this as a conspiracy theory but actually pretty straight forward knowledge to anyone paying attention to high school/college prospects (ie. scouts, coaches etc.)

[@edwinmunoz926]

I remember how pissed I was after Orlando traded Webber on draft night for Penny, but Penny grew on me during the season, until he became injury prone some years later. With Webber, that blew up in Golden States' face after just one year. They should have kept Penny. Also, if Philadelphia was not stupid to take Bradley at second that year and taken Penny, they could have ended up with Webber in the trade. That team could have bounced back quicker.

[@jtwilliams8895]

I actually hope the draft lottery is rigged. Unfortunately, I don't think it's rigged on a regular basis, as the 76ers got another number 1 pick this year. A team that tanks on a regular basis should not be rewarded with multiple number 1 picks. Just a few years before the Bulls drafted DRose, they drafted Jay Williams, who then promptly got in a career ending motorcycle accident. The Bulls needed a break after struggling through the post Jordan years, and whether the lottery was rigged or not, it was a fabulous storyline. I have to admit- I was holding out some hope for another miracle this year

[@TheBeestMode]

Yes the draft is fixed! That's why you don't see them pick out the lottery balls anymore. Now they just bring out the cards after they have arranged them. And yes the 76ers knew ahead of time. Look at the footage of that draft. The dude from Philly didn't even react when they won the lottery. Because there was no suspense, no surprise, he already knew. Mutumbo just blew the whistle on the whole thing. How much more evidence do you need to see what they're doing?

[@utahjazzedupbrianb9575]

you didn't really explain HOW it's rigged, all you did was recap previous draft picks, one of which was very odd (Chicago landing 1). I mean it would have been nice if you got into more detail as to the how, why, and who about it being rigged. I really feel like all you did was give a history lesson on 5 draft years without any inside details on anything being "rigged"

it's the fact that as soon as lebron left cavs got first pick kyrie knowing that LeBrons contract was 4 years it gave cavs time to rebuild seeing that lebron still had interest in coming back to clevland not only come on now in the years lebron wasn't there they got 1,4,1 picks giving lebron a reason to come back seeing that he has players to work with even the trade for Jr smith and Iman shumpert don't make sense and u can't say bc they were trying to free up cap space that's bs and even if it was why on earth both Iman and Jr smith to clevland .... nba tell me why Chris Paul wasn't allowed to play with kobe and d12 in LA nba forced cp3 to the Clippers but allowed the big 3 in Miami

People forget that the worst team in the NBA only has a 25% chance of getting the 1 overall pick, so it's a bit annoying when people act like 1.7% chance is so small. Although it is, how many teams have jumped like that?

After watching this post-season i thing it's all rigged. If you look at the calls the refs missed against the spurs and in the mia-raptor series, you can't think anyting else. At first i can't really believe it, i love watching the nba. But it's just to much now. Bad calls and now the Raptors can go to the eastern conference finals for the first time #Goodforthemedia and then the 76'ers ofcourse get the pick. They were the worst team, but the tweet makes it just to weird.

Do a What if D Rose was drafted by the Heat. I don't like the Heat but a potential lineup of Rose, Wade, LeBron, what's his face, and Bosh... DYNASTY.

[@DaultonMitchell13]

It seems fishy that he tweeted that but then again I do agree with u nick. I think it was smart for Cleveland and I don't think it was a conspiracy bc when lebron left the players on his Cavs before we're good w/ him and trash w/o bc a great player makes trash ones look good. But that's my opinion oviosly! What do u think

[@thewizardfromthewest3766]

That's the nature of random. stuff like the magic and the bulls is bound to happen eventually. Eventually a team will get the first pick 10 years in row. It's unlikely, but it's possible

[@zachsusee8001]

What if mj never left for baseball, What if the t wolves took steph curry, what if bill Walton never got hurt, what if shaq stayed with the magic, I'd be interested in any of those + many more, keep the vids coming!

[@christianisiordia2719]

How it happened was the 76ers are the first team to put a brand name on the jersey. Therefore the NBA rewarding them the 1st overall pick. When the deal was done? The told the higher ups in the organization which includes the HOFer

[@miguelbraz2629]

For me if it's not rigged it is made to save Clevelands ass. They were gifted Kyrie Irving which turned out to be ROY, then Anthony Bennett who was a bust and then as a way to compensate they landed Wiggins even though they had just missed the playoffs and they leapfroged a lot of teams with good odds. I mean look at this year it was the first time in years where there was no changes in lottery position is it a coincidence they wanted the Lakers and 76ers to get the two best players and accelerate their rebuild? If it isn't rigged there are some strange things happening year in and year out

The draft is rigged. The cavs getting 3 first picks outta 4 yrs. the Pelicans getting Davis right when they needed to sell the franchise, and the Pelicans immediately built a solid team upon selling the franchise with holiday, evens, and Gordon

[@RealKindredPro]

I doubt this one was all the picks were the same as the odds I don't even think mutombo is more than a fan so I believe it wasn't rigged

[@100yrsdeath]

Nba is for sure rigged! It's based only on the profit... It's so obvious they're biased against the raptors!! Also Jeremy Lin and even underrated teams the officiating is so horrible and each game is pre determined!

[@daltonbaxter6892]

TBH- depending on the state of some teams, I think the NBA does manipulate the draft so that a certain team can do something tat would generate revenue. Keep in mind that the NBA put the Collangelo family in Philly to begin with. Even though they had the best odds, it still seems a little fishy...

[@chrisboutzarelos3553]

I totally belive that the NBA in general is rigged. For your conspiracy theory list you should have included the 2002 conference finals. Lakers vs Kings
