Do you believe the magic bullet theory?

That the moon landing of '69 was a hoax?

That the government adds mind-controlling chemicals to the water?

That the NBA would, for some ungodly reason, fix the draft lottery to benefit a certain team?

The latter theory is about to get blown to bits, writes Frank Isola of the New York Daily News. Isola writes that David Stern has decided to let America peek into his hopper during Sunday's NBA draft lottery, answering once and for all those crazy notions about conspiracies and covert operations. The NBA is allowing a small group of reporters to witness for the first time the actual selection process of the top three picks, which are determined by 14 Ping-Pong balls with 1,000 different combinations.

"The feedback we've gotten in previous years is that the media is curious to how the process worked," said league spokesman Tim Frank. "It's just a way for the media to tell a story about the process."
