    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%.

    Never understand it.
    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.

    Only folks losing are NBA franchises other than NY Knicks.
    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.

    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.

    It's the same chance of Jose Calderon missing a freethrow. Or playing poker and hitting a two outer on the river. So yes, I would consider that a miracle also.

    You chill. I don't have to look at something retarded and accept it as correct not to be argumentative.

    And you are about 3,776 thousand times wrong. The have auditors and representatives from the league watch the drawing.

    Kings have a 25% chance but they can't get lower than the 4th pick, and they have the best chance to do so.

    In my opinion the Lottery goes

    1.New York
    2.Oklahoma City
    3.Sacramento
    4.Washington
    5.Los Angeles
    6.Minnesota
    7.Memphis
    8.Golden State
    9.Toronto
    10.Milwaukee
    11.New Jersey
    12.Charlotte
    13.Indiana
    14.Phoenix


    Bold=100% sure of order
    Toronto is a very slight possibility due to the international dynamic of Rubio.

    And once again to show how the Draft unfolds, in my opinion

    1.Knicks-Ricky Rubio
    2.Thunder-Blake Griffin
    3.Kings-Brandon Jennings or James Harden
    4.Wizards-Hasheem Thabeet
    5.Clippers-Best Player Available or Prospect Clippers Fall In Love With

    So its not a fair lottery because you arent shown the actual process?

    I swear some fans counters are comedy. Unintentional humor. I love it.
