I hear you were also rigging past NBA Lottery Drafts? How much did you receive for handing the Orlando Magics the # 1 pick two years in a row? Must have been nice getting to pick the areas for your future villas and mansions, not to mention all the exotic Llamborghini's and Ferrari's as an incentive pocket change.

Thanks for answering my question Mr. Stern. You bring up a valid point since the owner of the Portland Trailblazers is Paul Allen who happens to be a multi-billionaire co-founder of Microsoft.

Wow!! Now we've got the great MJ joining in on our discussion. Thank you for your opinion Michael. I never knew you and the commissioner were that close. I supposed that David also paid off the Refs so you could win your 6 championship titles as well.

Jordan Rules.
Past lottery drafts have been rigged, yes i admit it, (Tim Duncan), and a few others. Like for example, the Blazers were mad becuause they didn't recieve the first pick, but they still got Roy. The head coach came up to me and told me " i'll give you money if you give us the first pick in the NBA this year, so we can draft Oden. " So you know i couldn't reject money. I gave them the first pick, when it should of been the Grizzlies/Boston. Don't worry though, its all part of the game Jordan Rules.

Ha! And don't forget the folded envelope when the sorry Knicks won the drawing for the #1 pick....which turned out to be Patrick Ewing. They should hold a draft-lottery tournament at the end of the season on Las Vegas - one loss and your done - with the winning team receiving the first pick.

Well he did payoff Portland and Houston to pass on me you know. Back then he was a diehard Bulls fan.

This questions leads to me to wonder way they do not show the picking of the lottery balls out of the container? Why would they hide this process, if it wasn't fixed?
