The Bulls? You thin...I'm not sure I see your point. The Bulls? You think Stern and the NBA care that much about the Bulls to rig the 2008 draft in their favour? Please. I'll agree the NBA wanted — and likely did everything in its power to get — a Boston/LA Final. But the Knicks, of a much bigger media market than Chicago, were in the lottery, too. And they recently fired Thomas, so the NBA would have reason to rig it in favour of the Knicks before the Bulls. Not to mention, Jordan's Bobcats were in this year's lottery, too. As were the Pacers, of basketball mad Indiana and the Nets, who are owned by rap mogul Jay-Z and moving to Brooklyn. But to rig it for the Bulls? No way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
