As the NBA is currently drooling over the possible revival of the league's greatest rivalry of all time in the Lakers versus Celtics, here comes a development that is poised to have many a fan and reporter alike calling collusion. The Chicago Bulls have won the NBA draft lottery.
Easily one of the top 3 most well known franchises in the NBA (thanks MJ!), it appears David Stern is going to get be a happy man now that the Bulls get to choose either Memphis State's Derrick Rose (a Chicago product and sure fire ticket seller) or Kansas State's Michael Beasley (the workhorse superstar that the Bulls truly need). As a Bulls fan, I couldn't be happier. As an observer however, I think it is odd that the Bulls just happened to win the draft lottery when they only had a 1.7% chance of landing the top spot. Either Jerry Reinsdorf and John Paxson are living right, or the NBA just got what it wanted.
If you see the Lakers and Celtics in the NBA finals instead of the Pistons versus the Spurs, the NBA revival is in full swing...just like David Stern planned.
