In 2003 Lebron James was eligible for the NBA draft, he has long been known as a hometown kid, and Cleveland won the draft lottery, and then go on to draft Lebron. Unfortunately they do not win a championship in lebrons first tenure there so he decides to leave. During this time, the cavs win 3 more drafts resulting in 3 more number one picks. During this time they also received two high lottery picks (both number 4 picks)
Obviously this is no conspiracy, but has any sports team or player in history had the kind of luck that Cleveland has had? When you really look at it it is absurd how it all turned out for Cleveland. I can't wait for a 30 for 30 about this in a decade. Imagine this happening in the nfl, where number 1 draft picks have barely the same impact as in the NBA. And also it's not like the NBA gives the first pick to the worst team, which the nfl does.
Just amazing to think about really. All the more power to them, obviously it's easy to be salty but looking at it objectively as a sports fan, it's insane.
