For a brief moment it looked like the fix was in with the Lakers and Knicks in the top four lol
I don't neccesarily buy it BUT in a pre-social media age having a generational college basketball icon go to NY to play at the Garden (where he played quite a bit in the Big East) certainly moved the needle a lot more than him going to say, Indiana would have.
I never got the conspiracy theory that the NBA rigged the lottery back in the day so the Knicks could get Patrick Ewing. Why the hell would they rig anything for them? I believe other stuff has been rigged by the league, but not that.
