Funny I had the Lakers in mind as being deliberately favored, like that one year that bad officiating done Sacaramento in, even I remember that as does everyone else.
The you had the NY Knicks somehow winning the lottery and picking Ewing as no 1 pick when their chances should have been slim to none. But we can all see on youtube how Ewings envelope was bent in the corner unlike all the others.
Ive also always wondered how the Lakers with Kobe/ Shaq, the current Miami team, The Bulls with Jordan/Pippen and so on how these teams in the large citites that David Stern favors are always under the salary cap even with having 2-3 all star players.
