I'm sure Borders would have wanted a 30-minute show with a live lottery, but ESPN rationally would have said "Are you kidding? Do we want a rating of 0?"


Maybe they should've done something on twitter? It's def not worth a primetime ESPN slot. Just being honest.


Not worth 5 minutes? I've always found the show highly entertaining for how short it is. Alger looking like he lost his puppy is forever etched on my mond. President Richie giggling as Gaines accepts the #1 pick in 2013... forever etched in my mind. Dan Hughes ties... forever etched. I'm sure most of you grumps will be tuning in to see if Laimbeer pulls an ace out of his sleeve.


I think the most commonly suggested scenario was a few minute segment during halftime of a televised game - either a WNBA Finals game, or a college Big Monday game.

Guess the others are a secret. Razz

Given the ineptitude surrounding this entire lottery, why would anyone be surprised by this?

Anyone still defending how this has been handled?

Such terrible press for this. At least do a Facebook Live stream of the entire lottery. And nothing mentioned on .com, their Facebook page or Twitter.

Somewhere Michael Cooper just breathed sigh of relief. I'd have rather had Indy win No. 1, but No. 2 should give them someone good.

Yeah, it's a pity the league isn't already affiliated with some kind of popular social media platform that has live streaming. They could have reached a ton of people and started some conversations that weren't just the "well that sure was insulting" type
