The fact the drawing of the balls doesn't happen live gives conspiracy nuts ammo...

The fact there has been some "iffy" moves up gives them ammo.

The only ammo non believers have is "No! It couldn't be done".

From what I've read about the lottery process, you'd probably poke your eyes out watching it. THAT'S why it's not live. Then you can add the fact it's anti-climatic. Just because YOU don't see it live doesn't change anything.

I've spoken of team officials being present, being allowed to inspect lottery balls, Ernst & Young inspecting the lottery machine and auditing the overall process. I've also spoke of owners and organizations not wanting to lose out on a potential billion dollar asset. That's certainly more than "no, it couldn't be done". How about you explain the SPECIFIC thing the NBA does to rig it.

I'm pretty sure that it happens live online, they just don't put it on NBA TV because it would be dumb to watch.

Maybe they broadcast it on Mtv? Nobody would be the wiser.

That's right, I forgot about that. They actually do broadcast the lottery for people to see.
