A lucky tie just won its FOURTH lottery?!? More from ZachLowe_NBA behind the scenes in the drawing room:
Biggest NBA draft lottery winners, losers and unknownsSeven years later, with Davis hovering over the lottery in a very different way, Alvin Gentry, the Pelicans' coach and drawing room representative, threw all decorum out the window when the fourth pingpong ball drawn completed a four-number combination that belonged to New Orleans.
• After the lottery ended, Gentry approached the dozen reporters in the room and offered another wink-wink apology."Sorry, guys," he said."Not really." And then Gentry revealed the ultimate plot twist: The tie Gentry wore Tuesday was the same one Cohen wore in each of those three lottery wins. Griffin had phoned Cohen and asked for a good-luck charm in the lead-up to the lottery, he told ESPN.com in the aftermath Tuesday. Cohen scoffed at the idea that any trinket could win the favor of the lottery gods. Griffin asked if he might please send the tie. Cohen did. Griffin passed it on to Gentry.
Between Griffin, Cohen and Cohen's tie, I'm starting to believe in some real mystical stuff. I'm a little scared. I also worry that in excising all three, the Cavaliers will suffer years of self-inflicted bad luck. • Also discussed, per sources: stationing a"replay official" at the scorer's table who could make some determinations without stopping play, and flag other plays right away so that referees would not have to huddle up and decide whether to trigger review. Thumbs up!
