What’s good, family. It’s your boy Sykes here to usher you into tonight’s playoff action with the Warriors and Mavericks. But first, a quick word on the NBA Draft Lottery.
Enough of it. Please. I am so tired of watching the NBA’s draft lottery year after year.
And this isn’t me campaigning to take the lottery system away or anything like that. I’m not looking for some major NBA draft reform (although, I do think getting rid of the draft could be a great idea). That’s another post for another day, though.
I’m just tired of watching a literal lottery on television. It’s the most boring thing ever.
There’s drama, I guess, in that we don’t really know who will pick number one overall. But I feel like it’d be just as tense if that information was released via a screencap on Twitter or something like the first wave of team cuts for your high school JV basketball team.
