I believe the last time a Western Conference team had the #1 overall pick without having to trade for it (Columbus-Rick Nash) was back in 1988. What a streak for the East, which now has most of the best young talent in the league.

Pittsburgh is in the west but we're not exactly a media mecha. ESPN doesn't acknowledge our existence outside of Ben Roethlisberger.
