NBA draft lottery tonight, Victor Wemanyama awaits 19 years of age, 7-foot-5, his wingspan

0:11.0

is 8 feet, he does things like this, NBA scouts are in awe of him making outrageous claims

0:17.4

like you invented the question mark. Also nuggets and those underdog lakers, let's go!

0:30.0

Lakers nuggets in a second, news of the day from the NBA, the Philadelphia 70-sixers firing

Doc Rivers. This game's seven loss, this second round exit the tipping point. Frank, I sold
