NBA fans, executives, and players all think something fishy went on with last night's NBA draft lottery.
Like most conspiracy theories, different people have different reasons for wanting to believe that the lottery was fixed.
Some cite a fuzzy photo of a college basketball player in a hat, while others think back-room business dealings are to blame.
But they can all agree on one thing: this one goes all the way to the top!
8. ESPN didn't televise the actual ping-pong balls getting picked
7. The NBA owns and operates the Hornets ... and the lottery
6. The No. 1 pick seems to always magically land in the lap of a team with a good storyline
In 2011, the Cavaliers got the No. 1 pick a year after LeBron James left the team in shambles.
In 2010, the Wizards got the No. 1 pick just as they were being sold to Ted Leonsis.
Basically, you could think up a conspiracy for every draft lottery every year.
But there is one weird stat: the teams with the worst record have only won the lottery 14.3% of the time, even though they get a 25% chance.
