The league manipulates the draft! James laughs at the Mavericks No. 1 pick

In the 2025 NBA lottery ceremony, the Mavericks drew the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance, the fourth lowest in history.

Then, James updated his updates and posted a series of laughter and crying emoticons.

And James said not long ago, "The results of the NBA lottery draw are all set, whether I go to Cleveland or Rose to Chicago." It seems that all this was expected by James

After all, when James left the Cavaliers, the NBA compensated the Cavaliers Irving, Wiggins and Bennett three first-time picks; the Timberwolves sent Love away, won Wiggins and Bennett, and also selected Towns with the No. 1 pick; the Pelicans traded Davis to the Lakers, and the league compensated Zion Williamson; now the Mavericks traded Doncic to the Lakers, and it is indeed reasonable for the Mavericks to be the No. 1 pick in the League.
