[QUOTE=Interminator]So Knicks FO workers just happen to live in Madison Square Garden?[/QUOTE]
No but today would be a Tuesday, and it's possible (although quite suspicious) they could stay late, or MAYBE they even work till (shock) 7!
Are you for real?

Lottery 1hr special on ESPN2 NOW.

[QUOTE=DULLAH]Yes.
Factor in international tourism to the Orlando area (amongst the highest of any US location), and it's economy and population growth at the time (still growing today)? I'd say this is one of many examples where tampering to some degree is fairly likely.[/QUOTE]
Actually I dont believe that was the case.
I think that happening was a pure miracle, and it shocked the NBA to its core.
The Magic went from a borderline decent team(built around a young core of Shaq,Nick Anderson,and Dennis Scott) to a Championship contender in one night during an Era where the NBA promoted Michael Jordan as God and that type of thing is probably what scared David Stern into tweaking it years later.
Ironically Jordan retired months after the 93' Draft where Orlando ended up with Penny.

Also, there will be dozens of reporters at the lottery today. Reporters notice if one team sends 10 more guys than all the other teams. Reporters would notice that the one team that sent tons of extra guys happened to be the team that won the lottery.
Actual successful adults are not retarded. If they were going to rig something, they'd not send 10 extra guys. They'd want to fit in and send the same amount of people as everyone else.

Do you realize that if life was a MOVIE, and SATIRE like NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE, the lottery teams would all send 3 people, except one team sends like 600, and then some character in the movie would SARCASTICALLY say "Hey, that team sent an extra guy or two!" And then his friend would pretend to not notice the extra 600 guys and say something like, "Really? I didn't notice!"

No I said that sarcastically.
OKC is bringing just as many people, but for some strange reason I have posted before in this thread that I think the Knicks & Thunder will pick 1 & 2.
Holy **** thats a conspiracy too.:eek:

That would be cool. You'd root for the team you work for to miss the playoffs.

you know everytime you say something joking about the knicks the first thought it my mind is this was probably the way it actually worked prior to Walsh getting there and i get angry. :mad:
Re: Hint:NBA Rigging Lottery To Give Knicks #1 Pick
[QUOTE=Interminator]Knicks are basically bringing their entire front office to the Lottery, why would they do this if they are expected to get the #8 overall pick.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=insidehoops]Uh, because the Knicks are just a 20 minute cab ride, or a $3 bus ride from where the lottery is being held[/QUOTE]
