The NBA Draft has been set and now that the lottery is finished fans are wondering if David Kahn was right when he hinted that the NBA set it so the Cavaliers would get the first overall pick.(CBS/What's Trending) - In the NBA, worst doesn't mean first. So even if you have a 2.8 percent chance of getting the first pick during the NBA Draft, you can still win the prize, which is exactly what happened.
This year's NBA Draft will be the first time the Cavaliers have the first overall pick since they drafted a little known high school player out of Akron -- the same MVP who would later break their hearts when he "took his talents to South Beach" without bringing home a championship. (Okay, he was never little known,and I'm obviously talking about LeBron James.)
Anyway the Cavs are on the clock and can start looking at who to pick number one overall, but now, some people are claiming there is an NBA conspiracy behind the draft pick lottery.
David Kahn, the Minnesota Timberwolves GM, is one of those hinting at some rigging. The Timberwolves had the best odds of winning the lottery with a 25 percent chance. Kahn told reporters after the draft order was announced, "I also felt that when the 14-year-old hit the dias with us we were dead. We were just dead. There was no way... this league has a a habit, and I am just going to say habit, of producing some pretty incredible story lines. Last year it was Abe Pollin's widow, and this year it was a 14-year-old boy and the only thing we have in common is we have both been bar mitzvahed. We were done. I told Kevin: 'We're toast.' This is not happening for us and I was right."
