If Blake goes to the Thunder as the #1 pick then yeah, it's rigged for the home town hero.

[QUOTE=DULLAH]I remember saying something during the Olympics like "...All the Americans, especially black Americans, talking sh!t on Rubio, would flip their opinion 180, if they were Told Ricky Rubio was from the South Bronx...."[/quote]
:oldlol:
That would be a miracle because we all know the Bronx had never produced any good athlete.:oldlol:

...With the Knicks drafting him, he'll be a hero to all the LAtin Kids in the BX, bushwick, Corona, etc.[/QUOTE]
Latin kids, & white kids maybe.:confusedshrug:
[QUOTE=Interminator]The NBA literally hand delivered them a choice of Williams,Paul,or Felton because due to their record they couldn't get lower than the 3rd pick.
They take Marvin Williams.:applause:
[/QUOTE]
Yup, probably one of the strangest and dumbest choices in recent history. The Hawks needed a PG badly, they have 2 amazing ones to choose from, and they choose another swingman which they had plenty of. Now they still need a PG.
Never understand it.
[QUOTE=niko]Dude if you think a 5% chance of something happening constitutes a miracle then you honestly are retarded and I really shouldn't bother anymore. 5%. Not .00005%. 5%. Did you see when Bagelred explained to you that's like rolling a 10 on the dice? Miracle?
The education system in this country is truly crap i tell you.[/QUOTE]
Thats not entirely the case.
How a team with a 5% chance gets the #1 pick and a team with a 9% chance to get the #2 pick gets the #2 pick.
That in my opinion is a miracle or such a highly unlikely occurence espescially in a Lottery of only 14 teams using pinballs.

You do realize the Kings only have a 25% of getting the Top pick, even though they are the worst team. I guess its a miracle if they win too.

The combination of that 2 should be around 0.5%.

Then they correct this mistake in 07' by taking Acie Law.
A 2.9 PPG 1.6 APG 37%FG season later and they will be trying it again in the 2009 NBA Draft.
The NBA doesn't have control over dumb picks, but I do believe they place teams in a position to make a good pick.
Like in 98' when the Clippers took Olowokandi, although everyone thought they should draft Bibby,including Bibby himself who only worked out for the Clippers.:confusedshrug:
[QUOTE=DULLAH]For certain, Stern knows it's a win-win, the Guido kids in Staten and Long Island will claim him as their own too, the Jewish Kids in BK & Manhattan will caliam he's Sephardic, it's a win-win-win-win.:applause:
Only folks losing are NBA franchises other than NY Knicks.:lol[/QUOTE]
Yeah New York loves the flashy PG dynamic, most of their bred players continue to the tradition.
He will definetly fill seats and because he seems like a good kid everyone will give him the credit for making the Knicks better.
He also fits well being 6'4 and having great defensive skills and awareness for his age he can guard opposing 2's with Nate Robinson guarding the opposing PG.
Brandon Jennings would be a good pick for NY if they picked him if they dont get #1 or #2.

Maybe I'll retract from my "Miracle" statement because thats making a few posters get soiled panties.
The combination of a team with a 5% chance of getting the #1 pick and a team with a 9% chance of getting the #2 pick, who each happen to be located in the same region and had a rivalry is not a miracle, just a very strange occurance.:confusedshrug:

He honestly is too stupid to get the math. I thought he was trying to be funny, but the x% concept is too hard for him. He really thinks it's infininitely small. It's absurd how stupid you have to be not to get the concept of 5%.

and something being unlikely doesn't make it a conspiracy. And thus, your thread, is retarded. We have conspiracy threads on each and every thing that happens in the nba. Thus, everytime something happens, someone predicted it, thus it is a conspiracy by your logic.
I'm sorry, dumb is dumb.
The only miracle is how people still waste time arguing with you. Let's see Chicago, Portland, Toronto, Milwaukee, Orlando, Cleveland, all bigger markets and chicago getting the 1st pick when NY had a better seed. All this with the lottery rigged for NY, i wonder if it wasn't.
