    To bring the Ping Pong Balls from behind close doors. A TRUE LOTTERY should take no longer than 15 mins to discover who gets the #1 pick. So, bring it from behind close doors.

    WE KNOW WHY THEY HOLD IT BEHIND CLOSE DOORS but we never got an answer.

    Fans are too smart and the NBA must think we are fools to continue to fall for this RIGGED process to determine a lottery winner. I rather they just determine the #1 pick by record, than playing us for idiots.

    Wemby to Spurs was known months ahead
    Ewing to NY was a given
    Flagg to Dallas was a LIFE LINE
    LeBron to Cleveland

    We need to PROTEST for the NBA to bring the Lottery from behind close doors.

    It’s not behind closed doors dude. They have it in a conference room with team representatives watching. They just can’t communicate with people outside of the room until the TV presentation is over

    I really believe they are rigging the amount of Ping Pong Balls used on certain Teams.

    I bet illusionists like Penn and teller could figure out how to rig the draft.

    Nah Adam won't do it. Why should he? The nba didn't even try to cover that it was rigged this year.

    They know we will keep coming back because we love our team. Adam will continue to be a slimy P.O.S.

    I can't believe people think this is real -- watch the entire video and pay close attention to their fingers, teeth and hair -- it's obviously AI.

    We need The Big Guy to truth about this - he's never seen a conspiracy theory he didn't like.

    Yep, really focus on the teeth. That's what opened my eyes to the reality of the situation.

    Why so complicated if you can do it via Classic Coin Flip.

    Anything can be rigged, the modern Coin flip is thru a Computer, maybe tasked by an Independent Company.

    Also there has to be a Committee of Watchers/Watchdogs.

    Great idea.

    Maybe a representative from each participating team and a group of media members to observe.

    Have one of the leading manufacturers of lottery machines come and certify the machine and even weigh and measure each ball to verify them.

    Then just to be sure, have a giant audit company like Ernst & Young oversee the entire event.

    Oh wait, they already do that. Nevermind.
