Read the articles. It can't be rigged. They have several people who's job is to watch everyone and make sure there's no cheating. 13 people are put in a room and no cell phones, pagers, etc are allowed. They even supervise washroom breaks. I don't know why they go through so much trouble for a draft. lol.

LET's GO RAPTORS!!! C'mon, something good has to come out of this pathetic season. Vince sux and we need a new superstar.

Let's just hope those people who are making sure there is no cheating aren't former employees of Arthur Andersen. ;)

I can't wait for a team to waste their time and money on lebron. He will want more then he is worth. So what he does good in High school thats high school, not even college, let alone NBA. Then he already has the atitude that he is the top dog and is the best, so any team he joins will have no team spirt or work ethic.

That and how many #1 draft picks turned out to be as good as peopel thought? Very few. Heck Jordan was not even a number one pick.

I just hope my Atlanta Hawks don't get him, or if they do trade him away for someone that is already proven and is not a black hole on the team.

I think the max you can sign a number one pick is something like $3.5 mil. So it's not a budget breaker. Also, Lebron is hyped up alot and has a lot to live up to. Will he be another NBA superstar? Who knows. Garnett, Kobe, and McGrady all went straight from high school to NBA and look at them. He could be like that. Then again he could be another flop like Olowakandi (who was supposed to be the next shaq), Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown. These guys were all 1st picks i think and were hyped up, but they haven't achieved superstar status.

I have never seen any person as hyped up as Lebron though.
