Earlier today, at 4:36 p.m. eastern standard time, Dikembe Mutombo tweeted this in congratulations towards his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers.

At 8:26 eastern time, it was official — the Sixers are going to pick first overall. How did Mutombo know? Are the hodgepodge of conspiracy theories surrounding the NBA draft lottery actually true?

Alright, Dikembe, okay.
The draft lottery claimed that the proceedings – the actual drawing of the ping pong balls – were done a mere hour or so before the start of the live broadcast of the lottery, but this preemptive tweet will only provide NBA conspiracy nuts the ammo to continue their claims of selective malpractice in the draft lottery.
