Lakers star LeBron James hinted that the NBA was rigged during his latest appearance on the Pat McAfee show.
During his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, James suggested the 2003 Draft lottery that sent him to his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, was rigged.
James stated, “Listen man, during the ball drop, during the lottery drop. Cleveland got the No. 1 pick, that’s––I just don’t think that was… What a coincidence, huh?”
He added, “Let’s keep LeBron home. You know what? Patrick Ewing to the Knicks, Derrick Rose to the Bulls. I understand the assignment, guys.”
Former NBA star Patrick Ewing was born in New York and later drafted by the Knicks, and Derrick Rose was born in Chicago and later played for the Chicago Bulls.
