The Dallas Mavericks landed the first pick in the NBA Draft after overcoming historically low odds during the NBA Draft Lottery and the conspiracy theories erupted immediately. Dan encourages the effort while poking a little fun at these theories and reminds everyone that not only would rigging the draft be nearly impossible to pull off, attempting to do so would be a federal crime.
Dan Patrick: “Not only is draft rigging in that way really hard to do, it’s also a federal crime. We don’t want to have something like that get in the way of our conspiracy theories! But when you do think about it, there are times when you go; things that make you go hmm…But the Mavericks win the lottery and let the conspiracy theories resume.”
