why doesn’t the camera focus on the lottery balls when they are chosen during the draft lottery?

bsbll926 asked:

It just seems really shady about the process the balls are picked. I think that the camera should focus on the lottery balls the entire time during the picks, to ensure the lottery is not corupt.
btw, I’m a Knicks fan and admit how we got Ewing was rigged. Ridiculous.

Why does everyone want to get rid of the lottery now that the Bulls won the 1st overall pick?

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Blackhawks 2010 Stanley Cup Cham asked:

I like the lottery. I think it keeps bad teams from completely tanking their season to guarantee themselves the #1 overall pick. At least this way a team can’t purposely tank because they aren’t guaranteed that top spot.

Amazing how everyone all the sudden hates the lottery since the Bulls won it. Get over it. Obviously you youngns don’t remember the 1993 Magic who got the #1 overal pick with a 41-41 record.

What is the purpose of having a draft lottery?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

Ty Cobb asked:

I was just wondering why the NBA and the NHL have a draft lottery for their top picks and the NFL and MLB do not. Why didn the NBA and NHL change to a lottery format a few years ago?
