LeBron James casted some doubt on the legitimacy of the 2003 NBA draft lottery, through which the ping pong balls lined up favorably for the Cavaliers to safe the No. 1 choose. James implied that the lottery could very properly have been rigged so as to add an extra layer of pleasure on the onset of his profession. “Listen man, during the ball drop, during the lottery drop. Cleveland got the No. 1 pick, that’s––I just don’t think that was… What a coincidence, huh?” said James, generating plenty of stunned reaction from McAfee and Co. “Let’s keep LeBron home. You realize what? Patrick Ewing to the Knicks, Derrick Rose to the Bulls. I perceive the project, guys.” -via 12 WBOY / March 26, 2025
