This took place on May 17th, 1987. At stake : the right to select Navy phenom David Robinson. This is the third year the draft lottery was broadcasted.
eh, they selected a power forward right? they could of picked Horace Grant instead of who they selected. did they need a small forward then? if so they missed out on Pippen.
This was the second time that my beloved Phoenix Suns had the #2 pick. Both times they lost out on future Hall of Fame centers. This one was David Robinson; the other one was Lew Alcindor, the future Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Yeah, that's pretty much why he has his deputy handle the lottery.

David Stern is a terrible orator. He didn't even sound natural. It's almost like he was forced to read that speech.
