I guess all the correct lottery picks let’s go.
UTAHHHH
Suns getting picked back to back 😭✌🏼 it’s still rigged
So what’s up with Indy
Vamos lá ver a mudança
É bem precisa
RIGGING
Brought to you by DraftKings
🏀
Why don't they just play a point systems like other sports leagues…. Everytime you win you get 3 points
This is what Grandma lottery look likes
This probably adam silver idea the NBA will always be rigged no matter what happen👎
🧐 every 2nd team, won tho..🤔🧐
Kings never win anything, not even the tie breaker 😢
all of the balls that he put in last were the ones that won lmao
side camera needs to move lol
In all of these tie-breakers, the team whose ball was put into the machine first has not won any of them.
Thank you, Madame silver..
Idk why this video is so funny every year
Dallas in the house
Gang notice that every team that got there ball put in last won the tie breaker. Mr.Silver I see what your doing😂
So they show the full process for tiebreakers but not draft lottery? Make it make sense.
KNICKSSSSSSSSS
Why do they do the lottery
O yeah determine the odds
Please, Utah
If it’s rigged I’m too dumb to figure out how to
Go Knicks 🏀💯
they should this transparent with the actual draft lottery order but that is done in private for some reason!!
carrying ping pong balls in briefcases is ridiculous. these people take themselves too serious just to end up rigging the game anyways.
I’m confused what about the actually draft lottery ?
They need to do this for the actual draft no cheattttin
This format going forward should be the actual draft lottery, out in the open, not hidden behind curtains, simple otherwise people will just feel it’s rigged.
1st Pick : Washington Wizards
2nd Pick : Indiana Pacers
3rd Pick : Brooklyn Nets
somebody tell me the results 🥴
✨
Knicks, Rockets, Raptors, Suns then Sixers, Pelicans, and Jazz won the tie breakers.
Damn Kings still losing
The fact that when showing the balls they are off camera, but when he shows the tie breaker winner he knows exactly where to place it so it shows very clearly makes it look kinda suspicious or could raise questions.
Why does dude in the middle look extremely nervous 😂 the eyes chico they never lie
All of the teams I wanted to win tie breaker are losing
Knicks, Rockets, Raps, Phx, 76ers, NOP, Jazz.
Every time the team whos balls got placed last won … It was ABABAB and B won all of them
I hope Danny Ainge doesn't get a great pick
