0:00.0	Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley the Thunderdome.
0:06.0	On this NFL schedule release, Eve Tuesday, May 13, 2025, this program starts now.
0:13.2	Sports!
0:14.0	Our happening all around us last night was a big night for the NBA, as the draft lottery took place, and everybody immediately said it was rigged.
0:20.6	The Dallas Mavericks, with a 1.8% chance to win the draft lottery took place and everybody immediately said it was rigged. The Dallas Mavericks with a 1.8% chance to win the draft lottery and have the number one overall pick, presumably for Cooper Flagg,
0:28.6	ended up winning the draft lottery right there on TV.
0:32.6	Now, the way Mark Tatum and the NBA decided to do it was certainly interesting.
0:36.6	Anytime you have two people left for something and there's only going to be one winner,

1:21.2	them back by giving them the number one overall pick. Now, what would they do? Well, anyone Ernst & Young,
1:26.0	the accounting department says, they overlooked the entire process. And I don't know how you would rig a lottery with the balls.
1:30.9	And we've seen the balls and they had to pick four different balls to be able to get the Mavericks in there and whatever the case is.
1:35.5	And people are always going to say something's a work, something's had the fourth lowest percentages to end up getting the number one overall pick in the history of the draft lottery.
1:47.6	Now with Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and what does his future look like?
