David Stern on NBA Draft Lottery conspiracies: 'We expect them'

By Royce Young | NBA writer


The NBA Draft Lottery is not rigged. But some people seem to think it is. (But some people also think we didn't land on the moon. The lesson: Some people are idiots.)

In an upcoming interview with David Stern, CBS Sports Ian Eagle discussed the lottery with the commission.

"It has gotten enough sort of annual currency, that the one thing we want to do is even though we shrug it off and make a little fun of it, that we also make sure our process is about as airtight as it can possibly be and well reviewed reviewed and well viewed so there's no problem."

Is he bothered by the conspiracy theories?

"We expect them," Stern said dismissively.

The full interview will be available next week.
