#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Mack Jackson: Welcome to the 2005 NBA Draft Lotto show here on the S.L.O.E. Network. What you are about to witness are the hopes and dreams of 10 NBA franchises with the opportunity and a chance to hold the #1 selection of the upcoming NBA Draft which will also be seen here on the SLOE Network. We’ll here comments from some of the top prospects of the draft a little bit later on about what they bring to the table and also some select comments from some of the team representatives which hope to earn the right to select at #1.

But first, let’s head to our first commercial break of tonight’s program and when we come back, we’ll break down the draft order of all the teams that finished outside of the lotto.

Season In Review!

Mack Jackson: Welcome back to the 2005 NBA Draft Lotto show on the S.L.O.E. Network. Congratulations are in order for the Philadelphia 76’ers for defeating the Houston Rockets in the most recent NBA Finals. At the start of the 2004-05 season, the Houston Rockets made the ultimate gamble acquiring multi-time Allstar and Finals MVP, Jason Kidd, to the collective of the dominant front court of Chris Webber and Zyndrunas Ilgauskas, and also signed Shandon Anderson during the offseason amassing the leagues highest tax bill.

The Philadelphia 76’ers were coming off a 31 win regular season and with a new regime in charger, traded stalwart and proven scorer, Rip Hamilton, to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a package of Luis Scola, Tayshaun Prince, & the #17 pick in last years draft which turned out to be Josh Childress. The 76’ers turned in a 17 win improvement and as the 5th seed marched through the playoffs winning multiple Game 7’s, defeating OPenny and the Orlando Magic in the Conference Finals.

Now that we turn the page and end another chapter of SLOE, lets now look at the draft order for all the teams that were not able to join the cast of the first 13.

29.*Seattle Supersonics (From WAS) 63-19

28.*Sacramento Kings 60-22

27.*Indiana Pacers (From DAL) 59-23

26.*Houston Rockets 56-26

25.*Atlanta Hawks 54-28

24.*Toronto Raptors 54-28

23.*Chicago Bulls 50-32

22.*San Antonio Spurs 49-33

21.*Phoenix Suns (From UTA) 49-33

20.*Boston Celtics 48-34

19.*Philadelphia 76ers 48-34

18.*Seattle Supersonics (From CHA) 46-36

17.*Los Angeles (LAL) Lakers (From ORL) 46-36

16.*Los Angeles (LAL) Lakers (From DEN) 44-38

15.*Phoenix Suns 41-41

14.*Minnesota Timberwolves 39-43

Mack Jackson: When we come back, we’ll have a special set of musical performances from the top artists of 2005, featuring the likes of Green Day, Ciara, Kanye West, and Missy Elliot! We’ll be right back after these SLOE messages right here on the S.L.O.E. Network!

Musical Performance #1 & Draft Facts

Mack Jackson: Welcome back to the 2005 NBA Draft Lotto show on the S.L.O.E. Network. Lets now bring on our first musical act of the night, Green Day singing “Boulevard of Broken Dreams!”



Mack Jackson: What an awesome song for some of the teams that were unable to reach the lucky lotto field of 13. Last year, the Detroit Pistons, were fortunate enough to claim the Top 2 spots in the draft and selected Dwight Howard, and sharpshooter, Kevin Martin. Other draft facts include the Minnesota Timberwolves winning the #1 overall pick in the 1993 and 94 Drafts! The reigning NBA Champ, 76’ers GM has an all too familiar relationship with the first pick of the 1998 draft, Kevin Garnett. He acquired Garnett for Eddie Jones when GM Balls O’Hard ran the Los Angeles Lakers. KG would go on to win an NBA Title in the 2003-04 season and then be shipped midseason last year to the Denver Nuggets.

When we come back, we’ll bring in our special NBA draft analyst, George Seinfeld, who spoke with some of the top NBA Draft prospects. A lot more ahead here on the S.L.O.E. Network.

One on 1 with George Seinfeld: Andrew Bynum!

Mack Jackson: Welcome back to the 2005 NBA Draft Lotto show on the S.L.O.E. Network. Earlier in the week, our special NBA draft correspondent and specialist, George Seinfeld sat down with some of the top prospects to get their thoughts as they await their fate to start on their legacies as being apart of the SLOE NBA family…



George Seinfeld: Thank you. I am honored to sit with the next stars of tomorrow. From the High School and College ranks, these men will take their games to franchises all across SLOE and some legacies will be molded over the course of the draft. From the #1 pick all the way to #29, these men will begin their life as a SLOE NBA star. Some will win championships while others may toil in obscurity but it all begins at the SLOE NBA Draft. Lets begin with our first sit down prospect, Andrew Bynum.



George Seinfeld: Now Andrew Bynum, many outside observers view you as a Top 5 caliber player in this draft. What would you say are some of your strengths and weaknesses?

Andrew Bynum: My strength is my strength, know what I'm sayin? The other day after third period my friend was mad cuz he put a dollar in the vending machine and it wouldn't give him his pop tart. I went up and lifted the vending machine off the ground and gave him his pop tarts...and skittles and nutter butters too. And everything. It all kinda fell out of there.

Weaknesses? Psh. You don't get this far thinking about weaknesses. I'm pretty perfect.

George Seinfeld: What Are you going to miss most about High School?

Andrew Bynum: My friends. My honeys. My old history teacher Ms. B. She know's whats up, thanks for looking the other way while I looked at Eric's test, that's my girl.

So pretty much everything except Principle Buzzkill. Frye you bra. You said I'd never amount to anything, I'm about to amount to several mil you feel me?

George Seinfeld: What is your favorite color?

Andrew Bynum: Purple. Cuz I'ma be elite. Book that.

George Seinfeld: Do you have a preferred destination in mind of where you would like to go or do you feel as if your talents will help anyone succeed and eventually win an NBA championship?

Andrew Bynum: Well I'm from Jersey, you know, so it'd be pretty good to rep the East Ruth, you feel me? But I'll go anywhere. LA. Cleveland. Well, anywhere but Seattle. I heard that general manager is a Fryeing tool, pardon my Spanish.

George Seinfeld: Don't you mean 'pardon my French?'

Andrew Bynum: Well I took Spanish in high school.

George Seinfeld: Are there any last words or shoutouts you’d like to send out before we send it back to the studio?

Andrew Bynum: Yeah man, shout out to everybody at St Joes for holding me down before I was 7 feet tall. Shout out to Clarice, sorry it won't work now that I'm gonna be somewhere else, but I'll give you my email and we can keep in touch whenever I'm in the P-BORO, I love you shorty. And also all my friends on myspace, hit me up and I may put you in my top 8…



George Seinfeld: Thank you for your time. Mack Jackson, back to you…

Mack Jackson: Thank you very much George! Lets head for another commercial break and when we come back, George sits down with more stars expecting to hear their name during the 2005 SLOE NBA Draft featuring Chris Paul, Danny Granger, & Deron Williams. That and much, much, more to come here on the NBA Draft Lotto!

One on 1 with George Seinfeld: Chris Paul!





George Seinfeld: Our Next prospect brings us to the wildly talented point guard out of Wake Forest, Chris Paul. Let's take a look at some of his top highlights during his time at the University.



George Seinfeld: Now Chris, many outside observers view you as a Top 5 caliber player in this draft. What would you say are some of your strengths and weaknesses?

Chris Paul: I would say some of my strengths are that I've been able to polish my skills over the years I've spent at Wake Forest. I work with my best friend Jarrett Jack whenever I can, helping each other polish our game. Shooting, yea you got that. Dribbling drills, yea we hit that. Defense? We try to shut each other down. Our friendship has really made me strong. As for weaknesses, I think ability to have so many best friends really is a great strength but being able to share myself with all my best friends, it's a burden that sometimes I consider a weakness. OH, you meant on the floor? Well I would say many others think my size is a weakness. But we'll see how that goes. My best friend Dwight Howard has helped me with my inside game, and it's helped me to be able to navigate the paint, pinpoint my target, and success (whether it's a pass or a shot)

George Seinfeld: 2) Do you have a preferred destination in mind of where you would like to go or do you feel as if your talents will help anyone succeed and eventually win an NBA championship?

Chris Paul: You know, I think I could play anywhere and be ok. I mean sure, my best friend Lebron plays in Miami, and my best friend Carmelo is doing great things in New York. Heck, even my good (almost best) friend Dwayne Wade is having a lot of success in Denver. It would be great to play with them. But the opportunity to go to a new place where I'm not familiar with some of the players in that lockerroom.... that would present me a new challenge: a challenge of making new best friend. That kind of challenge would motivate me to play bigger and harder than I have before

George Seinfeld: What is your favorite color?

Chris Paul: That's a tough one. It would have to be yellow. Because that is the color of friendship.

George Seinfeld: Are there any last words or shoutouts you’d like to send out before we send it back to the studio?

Chris Paul: I would like to shout out to my best friend Lebron James, my best friend Dwight Howard, my best friend Amare Stoudemire, my best friend Carmelo Anthony, my best friend David West, my good (almost best) friend Dwayne Wade, my best friend/brother CJ Paul, my best friend/twin Cliff Paul, my best friend Chris Bosh, my best friend Jarrett Jack, my best friend Tyson Chandler, and my best friend/father. I know I'm forgetting someone, but you know I love you fam!

George Seinfeld: When we come back, we'll hear from two more players. That are expected to be taken rather quickly in tomorrow's draft, Danny Granger & Deron Williams. Stay tuned folks.

Musical Performance #2: Kanye West "Gold Digger"



Mack Jackson: Welcome back fam to the 2005 NBA Draft Lotto show! Now, before we head back to my main man George, we have a special guest in one of the hottest, most talented rappers in the game today, Kanye West! feat. Jamie Foxx.

One on 1 with George: Danny Granger!



Mack Jackson: I'm telling you man, Kanye is gonna be a president someday! Some teams may feel like some of the talents in Restricted Free Agency could be gold diggers given how some of the talent has declined over the last few years. Some may be well worth it rising to be stars and OP of the league. Anyways, let's head back down to my Draft Wizard, George Seinfeld! George, take it away!

George Seinfeld: Thank you Mack! Our next subject is covering one of the top wings of the draft in Danny Granger. The Pride of the Lobos out of the University of New Mexico! Lets take a look at some of his highlights.





George Seinfeld: Now Danny, many outside observers view you as a Top 5 caliber player in this draft. What would you say are some of your strengths and weaknesses?

Danny Granger: I'd say my strengths are in my versatility. I can score on the inside, mid range or from 3. If someone wants to put a quicker guy on me, I can punish them inside, if they put a big guy on me I can get open and shoot. I can also do it with or without the ball. As far as weaknesses, I think I need to be more consistent on defense and rebounding.

George Seinfeld: Do you have a preferred destination in mind of where you would like to go or do you feel as if your talents will help anyone succeed and eventually win an NBA championship?

Danny Granger: I mean, we all grow up wanting to be the man of their own franchise; but without help you cant win. I really like the game of big man Gasol and think we can compliment each other, so the Grizzlies would be a great place. But I'm open for anywhere really!

George Seinfeld: What is your favorite color?

Danny Granger: Dollar bill green playa!

George Seinfeld: Are there any last words or shoutouts you’d like to send out before we send it back to the studio?

Danny Granger: I'd like to shout out to any team that doesn't draft me that has the chance. You'll regret not taking me.

George Seinfeld: Thanks for your time, Danny and Good luck wherever you land.

Danny Granger: No doubt and good looks!

(The two embrace for a shake of the hand and a hug as George then turns back towards the camera to conclude this interview to set up his final interview of the show.)

George Seinfeld: When we come back, we'll have our final interview subject of the Lotto show with draft prospect, point guard, Deron Williams. I also hear we'll get a studio performance with Ciara and Missy Elliot as well. Now that's my jam. I love this stuff.

One on 1 with George: Deron Williams!





George Seinfeld: Welcome back folks to our final installment of our Interview series here on the SLOE Network covering the top prospects that expect to get their names heard tomorrow night during the latest installment of the NBA Draft. Many have raved about this prospects ball handling skill and precision like passing. Coming out of the University of Illinois, Deron Williams skills have given him critical acclaim to maybe being one of the best point guards in the entire draft. Lets take a look at some of his best and defining moments.





George Seinfeld: Now Deron, many outside observers view you as a Top 5 caliber player in this draft. What would you say are some of your strengths and weaknesses?

Deron Williams: I feel I bring a lot to any team. Being a bigger PG, I can create mismatches against smaller guards and score in the paint. My perimeter shooting and play-making abilities are things I can provide on the offensive end. I can improve defensively and also improve my strength.

George Seinfeld: A lot of people have also compared you to the likes of Chris Paul as being the best guard in this draft. Do you feel those views are valid? Would you consider yourself the best?

Deron Williams: Well I don't want to get into who's the best or 2nd best. We're both good players who can play in this league. We have different strengths and weaknesses. He's a smaller quick guard and I'm a bigger stronger guard. But I feel I'm as good as anyone in this draft.

George Seinfeld: Do you have a preferred destination in mind of where you would like to go or do you feel as if your talents will help anyone succeed and eventually win an NBA championship?

Deron Williams: I'm just blessed to have the opportunity to play in the league. I feel I can play anymore and lead any future franchise to success. Wherever God places me I will accept.

George Seinfeld: What is your favorite color?

Deron Williams: Green.

George Seinfeld: Why?

Deron Williams: Cuz I like money.

George Seinfeld: Are there any last words or shoutouts you’d like to send out before we send it back to the studio?

Deron Williams: Just want to say hi to my family and friends watching at home. hope to make you guys proud.

George Seinfeld: Well thanks Deron. That concludes the interview portion of the Draft Lotto show. When we come back, we'll send it back to SLOE's favorite swing man, Mack Jackson.....Because he swings both ways. Get it? Whatever. They only paid me to do 4 interviews and now I need my sleep. So Mack will break down the rules of the Lotto Rumble match and I believe we even have word from some of the participants as well and we got our final musical guest to conclude the first part of the Lotto Show with Ciara and Missy Elliot. Don't change the channel or I'll curse you for the rest of your life.

Laying down the Law with 30 seconds of Greatness!



Mack Jackson: Wow. I didn't know my man George hit below the belt like that. At least they pay me to look this good and not a disheveled mess like ya self....Wait? Were back on?



Mack Jackson: Welcome back to the NBA Draft Lotto Show Part 1. Part 2 will be tomorrow night here on the SLOE Network and here's how it works in the SLOE Lotto Rumble. 13 competitors enter with the goal of leaving with #1. If you get thrown over the top rope and your hands and feet touch the floor, you're roasted and leave with the # you end up with. 13 gets whittled down to one. and before we head to Missy Elliot and Ciara, we got a preview from some of the competitors themselves entering the fray tomorrow night. Here some of what you'll see tomorrow night, roll the clips y'all!

GM LoCo: Why do we deserve to win the lotto? Vince Carter, Baron Davis, Rashard Lewis, Shawn Marion, Pau Gasol... All great talents, all former or current Grizzlies. Van Memphis is not only a destination for other teams to farm young talent. It is THE destination for teams to farm young talent.

GM LoCo: And since we have the best odds to win it all because of our two lottery picks...

*Trails off as he is interrupted by low breath muttering from behind the camera*

GM LoCo: Excuse me? What did you just say??

*The muttering is heard again as LoCo's attention is now focused on the man behind the camera*

GM LoCo: What do you mean, "That's not how it works" Why don't you say that to my CENSORED face?!?!?

*LoCo lunges over the table from his seat, knocking the camera over as he bumrushes the cameraman. knocking the camera over. Camera cuts to static as the whimpers of the cameraman can be heard.*

All we need is that elusive number one pick in this draft to bring to this city the only thing it has been missing: the SLOE championship.

DarthVegito wrote:"Well the word "deserve" may be a bit too far. I don't think anyone has done anything to say that they deserve it over another GM. But I am very hopeful. Some teams are in the lotto every year. That's the game they play. I don't like this lotto game. It takes control of my team and winning away from me. I took over one of the worst franchises in sim league history, rather than the slow reset, I chose to cut some corners and go all in for a few years. It didn't work out and here I am. This may be my longest build ever depending on these lotto balls. May the Force be with me."

PaulyP wrote:"We went through a season of a lot of downs. We signed a league legend to a huge deal and paired him with another Top 5 guy and a cast of guys who had helped us make the playoffs the year before and it all went to hell very quickly. We deserve the first pick because we are a franchise that doesnt catch a lot of breaks so to get one here would be fantastic."

It was 14 years ago; I held this pick high in the air after I fought for it for the first time in New York City and I proclaimed this right here the most important pick in North America. Right now, in my hands, as of this day, 6/28/05, this becomes the most important pick in the WORLD!

This pick in the hands of any other man is just a pick—in my hands it becomes power. "

Having nearly two decades of sim league experience, we have never jumped up in the lotto, with our usual ultimate fate being a drop. We may have the lowest odds to place in the top 3, but by god we have to jump one day..... right?

Mack Jackson: Man, if some of those fools are willing to throw their own grandmother over the bridge to be the #1 pick, I'd love to see the action that's gonna be in store tomorrow night when we present part 2 of the Sim Draft Lotto Show: "The Lotto Rumble"

Thanks for tuning in folks and lets end Part 1 in style with a performance from Ciara & Missy Elliot's "1, 2, Step"! For everyone at the SLOE Network, I'm Mack Jackson, and I've got the answers.



Fin for Part 1!
(Part 2 The rumble match Will be Posted tomorrow night)

Great stuff so far, Nick!

Lotto Rumble Match!



Mack Jackson: This is the moment! 13 spots left remaining and only the last one standing can lay claim to the number one overall pick. You’ve waited long enough and we’ll be sending the action down to the ring momentarily. But first, we got a tape from Cleveland, Ohio, this morning into our studios here at the S.L.O.E. Network with what appears to be some last words before tonight’s event. Lets hear what the team with the best odds had to say…

[quote=”42PhD”] GM: It's not that the Cavaliers deserve anything, but with a twenty-five per...

Owner: Nah, nah, nah, we do deserve it. We deserve it because none of these other Fryes do. We deserve it because each of these other teams actually thought they had a prayer last season while we knew exactly how good we were. We deserve it because we beat the Hawks at their own game and set the League right again while the rest just kept spinning their wheels or feeding the beast. We are the ones that saved the League from itself, and its time we get WIGGING paid.

That's not too say that we'd actually use the top pick. If I had my way we'd trade back one step at a time and build a team from assets and later draft picks, making all 29 first round picks in the process. You're all going to suck my pick, but my guess is none are worthy.

Dress up, buttercup, just in case I decided to let you dance for me, but I'm the one that deserves the pick even you guys WIG the lottery up, too.[/quote]

Mack Jackson: Some interesting words used by the unique and creative representatives of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lets see if the luck is in their favor tonight here for the SLOE Draft Lotto Rumble. When we come back, we’ll take you right to the action.





Mack Jackson: Welcome back to the SLOE Network studios for the 2005 SLOE Draft Lotto Rumble. Before we head to the ring, let’s break down how the standings reflected last season, 1-29.

Mack Jackson: Now that you see the standings, to explain the rules, both feet and hands have to touch the floor if you’re thrown over the top rope to be completely eliminated. Lets head down to the ring with the 13 competitors waiting for the bell to ring to begin the action!

Sent via Morse code

First Elimination!

Furious fists and kicks are being thrown. Multiple combatants pick and choose who to corner. Three sets of double participants from the Van Memphis Grizzlies, to Los Angeles Lakers, and the Seattle Sonics tag team up on the Heat and the Kings. The Cleveland Cavalier seems to be annoying everyone with quick, ineffective strikes to every other participant in the ring and then quickly runs and slides underneath the ropes to avoid getting eliminated. The crowd boos at the Cavalier behavior. The referees on the outside urge the Cleveland Cavalier to get back in the ring as he argues semantically that he can get back in the ring whenever he wants.

In the far outer corner of the ring, the LA rivals try to go for leverage as the Clipper is tied up against the top rope, almost holding on for dear life. The Lakers holding onto the two to one advantage exert a lot of pressure to the back of the Clipper in an attempt to throw out the first participant. The Kings competitor looks almost in famished condition as he is holding his stomach. Taking notice of the Kings condition, the New York Knick charges at the King and nails a running boot right to the jaw of the King which instantly knocks the King out cold. So much chaos and humanity, the Indiana Pacer scoops up the King and tosses him over the top rope as the King crumples to the outside.



Pick #13: Sacramento Kings (From Milwaukee Bucks)

A Sneak Attack!

With the Kings no longer included in the contest, there was a smattering of cheers and boos. Majority of the competitors had the facial expression similar to that of a shrug.



As the Sacramento King looks dejected and frustrated, he slowly walks back up the ramp, only to be blindsided by the Milwaukee Buck with a vicious spear, antlers first, that throws the Sacramento King right off the stage! The entire crowd is captivated by the sneak attack from the action in the ring. The Milwaukee Buck grabs a hold of the Sacramento King and throws him right into a collection of steel chairs. Continuing the anger and hostility, The Buck then drags the Sacramento King underneath a vague bridge off the side of the stage and disappears.

Back inside the ring, the New Jersey Net are arguing with Tri state rival, the New York Knick on whether to gang up and attack some Eastern Conference foes or West. It’s every competitor for themselves and as soon as the New York Knick turns his back, the New Jersey Net leaps up and nails a drop kick right to the back of the Knick head leaving the New York Knick dazed and confused (much like the majority of his GM ownership).

The Cleveland Cavalier then mischievously slides back into the ring and nails a running forearm back to one of the Seattle Supersonic participants. With the other Seattle Supersonic tied up on the other side of the ring battling with the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clipper, the Cavalier takes his chance and immediately tosses out one of the two Seattle Supersonic representatives in this lotto rumble. Cleveland jumps for joy and snickers as it just as quickly slides underneath the ropes again adding more heat onto itself in the process as the fans continue to boo.


Pick #12: Seattle Supersonics (From VanMemphis Grizzlies)

Some Quick Hits!

As the other Seattle Super Sonic realizes his other partner has been eliminated attempts to reach over the top rope to grab a hold of the Trump like hair of the Cleveland Cavalier. The Cavalier laughs and dodges the hair pull on the outside. The Miami Heat then tries to get the help of some of his other Eastern Conference friends to eliminate some the lone remaining Seattle Supersonic and then coming in to help out from the West are the double LA Lakers and VanMemphis Grizzlies which seem to be working well together to dispatch some of the other Eastern Conference teams. The double Lakers help set up the Miami Heat in a precarious position. One of the Lakers scoops up the Miami Heat while the other runs across the ring and bounces off the ropes running back towards his partner to deliver a devastating Heart Attack maneuver once made famous by the duo of Bret Hart and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart.

With everyone seemingly distracted towards the far corner of the ring, the Los Angeles Clipper is perched on the top turnbuckle. The VanMemphis Grizzlies notice and quickly turn around to feed into a flying Clipper that darts itself right into the Grizzlies and crashes down to the canvas. The crowd gets a brief moment to cheer wildly for the LA Clipper. The Clipper gets so excited that it for a moment loses its awareness in the middle of the ring. The cross-town rival Lakers take advantage again and team up to eliminate the Clippers from the Lotto Rumble after picking the Clipper up together in a supreme show of strength lifting the Clipper together up over its head and walking to the ropes and dumping the Clipper to the outside with a thud.


Pick #11: Los Angeles Clippers

In a match of history and legacy, the Lakers still run Los Angeles. The Lakers and Grizzlies still hold a 2 man advantage compared to everyone else. The camera now pans over to show the Cleveland Cavalier hiding underneath the ring, poking its head out from underneath. The Cavalier then continues to sliver underneath the ring to avoid any conflict. The New Jersey Net grabs a hold of one of the downed Grizzlies and throws him into the corner where he executes some brutal chops right to the exposed chest. The Net then irish whips the Van Memphis Grizzly to the diagonal corner of the ring where it charges forth and nails a running dropkick right to the family jewels. The New Jersey Net gets right up and raises its hand high in the air and can feed off the energy of the crowd. The other Grizzly attempts to help out his cohort only to get cut off by the Indiana Pacer who comes from out of no where with an RKO! The Seattle Supersonic takes advantage and hurls over the lifeless body of the prone VanMemphis Grizzly in the middle of the ring and tosses out the secondary Grizzly member from the match.


Pick #10: VanMemphis Grizzlies (From New York Knicks)

Thus leaving the only rep left with two participants being the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers move in unison and attempt to eliminate one of the Eastern conference foes with the #’s seemingly favoring the East. They target the Indiana Pacer in an attempt to cut off his momentum. They grab a hold of the unlikely upstart and try to swing him up against the ropes but the Indiana Pacers fires back with a double flying clothesline to both of the Laker opponents. The Pacer and the Net then join hands to team up to try and eliminate another Western Conference foe from the Lotto rumble. One of the Lakers stumbles towards the ropes as he has to hold onto it to keep from collapsing and losing his equilibrium. The Pacer and the Net charge towards the Los Angeles Laker and with a Red Rover like tatic, use their arms together to clothesline the main Los Angeles Laker representative over the top rope. Thus leaving it all a single component Lotto Rumble with no more doubles.


Pick #9: Los Angeles Lakers

Some More Quick Hits!

Down to the Elite 8 of teams left remaining and the Cleveland Cavalier still remains underneath the ring, sneaking around, and avoiding confrontation. Three Western Conference teams remain to the Eastern Conference five. The Heat looks at the prone VanMemphis Grizzly off in the corner of the ring against the turnbuckles and attempts to toss out another western conference team. There really isn’t a clear blood feud remaining of all the teams left in the Lotto rumble. The New York Knick gets a hold of the New Jersey Net and rakes the back as revenge for earlier. The Seattle Supersonic slides underneath the ring and chases after the Cleveland Cavalier and there are all sorts of mayhem going on in and around the ring. The Miami Heat then body slams the Van Memphis Grizzly towards the corner of the ring and climbs to the top rope. It looks towards the heavens above looking to drop the Elbow and flies in the air but the Van Memphis Grizzly rolls out of the way with the Miami Heat crashing to the canvas. The VanMemphis Grizzly tunes up the band as it stomps its feet. The Van Memphis Grizzly attempts to nail some sweet chin music from Beale Street until it hears some strange music over the loud speaker..



Suddenly Glenn “Big Dawg” Robinson, Calvin Booth, and “Hollywood” Nick Van Exel, saunter down the ramp and clearly hold the attention of the VanMemphis Grizzly. The Spurs get down to ringside and distract the Grizzly long enough for Calvin Booth to get up onto the ring apron. Booth yells at the Grizzly and the Van Memphis Grizzly nails some Sweet Chin Music to the jaw of Booth knocking him off the ring. Booth collapses ontop of “Big Dawg” and the Grizzly thinks hes in the clear when Nick Van Exel clocks the Grizzly in the back of the head with a lead pipe! The groggy Miami Heat shakes off his elbow and grabs a hold of the VanMemphis Grizzly and tosses him out of the ring for another elimination. The Van Memphis Grizzlies have officially been eliminated at pick #8.


Pick #8: VanMemphis Grizzlies (From Portland Trailblazers)

The New York Knicks nail a few uppercuts to the chest of the New Jersey Net as the medics tend to the VanMemphis Grizzly on the outside for a possible concussion. The Spurs contingent walks back up the ramp and hears boos from the crowd. The Knick then lifts the New Jersey Net up over its head in a Suplex form and drops the Net down in the middle of the ring. The Knick then organizes the help from the other coast participant, the Los Angeles Laker and the Laker picks the Net up again up over its head with its brute strength and walks towards the turnbuckles. The Knick then climbs up the top rope and aims its sight for the prone Net. The Knick measures itself looking to hit its Doomsday Wall Street Device and the New Jersey Net’s resilience squirms off the shoulders of the Lakers and falls off. The Net pushes the Laker into the New York Knick for a quick collision toards the turnbuckle. The Turnbuckle wobbles a little making the Knick lose its balance and crotches itself worse than some of its trades. The Net then nails a perfect dropkick right to the Los Angeles Laker who bumps into the New York Knick and the Knick can’t hold on and falls to the outside causing an actual elimination from the Eastern Conference. Proving the New Jersey Nets still reign supreme in the Tri-state area, they regroup towards the other corner of the ring to back away from the prone and lone Los Angeles Laker rep.


Pick #7: New York Knicks (From Golden State Warriors)

The New Jersey Net, Miami Heat, and Indiana Pacer, all huddle up to try and take down the Los Angeles Laker as the Seattle Sonic tries to capture the Cleveland Cavalier. They all charge at the wobbling Lake but the Laker fights back and spears into all three, knocking the three Eastern Conference powers down. The Laker looks extremely pissed and picks up the Miami Heat by the throat. The Laker then tries to walk towards the ropes with the Heta in its death like grip raised in the air. The reflection of the light coming off the tanned skin of the Miami Heat though temporarily blinds the lone Los Angeles Laker enough for the Heat to wriggle free and leaving the Net and pacer enough time to recover. The Net and Pacer then hit a double dropkick to the taller Los Angeles Laker. The Laker wobbles and gets tangled up in the ropes. The East then triple teams the Laker and uses its sheer strength to eliminate the giant power.


Pick #6: Los Angeles Lakers (From Detroit Pistons)

Final 5

Four eastern Conference Teams and just one Western Conference team remaining in the Seattle Supersonic. The Seattle Supersonic finally grabs a hold of the Cleveland cavalier by hits pirate like hat and throws him into the ring. One would think that with all the annoying antics of the Cleveland Cavaliers over the last season, the 4 of them would gang up to eliminate the leader with the best odds. The crowd is chanting for the East and Seattle to gang up on Cleveland. Cleveland is begging and pleading for forgiveness. Cleveland then gets up and quickly throws the Nets right into Seattle for a collision. Cleveland tries to run again but gets trapped by Indiana and Miami. Seattle and New Jersey start trading rights and lefts. Seattle throws up the WC gang sign being the lone Western Conference team left and kicks New Jersey right in the knee cap. Seattle then grabs a hold of the new Jersey Net and drops him with a DDT making New Jersey look like its fallen asleep. Seattle picks the Net up thinking it has an easy elimination. Seattle tosses NJ over the top rope and Seattle thinks it’s eliminated the Net. New Jersey is holding onto the top rope with both hands for deer life as it hangs on and dangles. The crowd is hoping the Net can hang on as it sways back and forth. The Supersonic is convinced it’s eliminated the New Jersey Net as it has a devious smirk on its face. The New Jersey Net is able to skin the cat like it’s Shawn Michaels and is barely able to bounce back into the ring. The Sonic turns around in sheer shock and rams a flying forearm right into the head of the New Jersey Net and knocks him out cold as Seattle finally eliminates the New Jersey Nets keeping the Western Conferences chances at #1 alive for now.


Pick #5: New Jersey Nets

Seattle thumps its temple and always has an idea of what’s going on in the back of its head. 4 teams remain. Seattle tries to go after the Cleveland Cavalier as Cleveland is already being double teamed with kicks and boot strikes in the corner by Indiana and Miami. Seattle almost declares its blood mission to eliminate the Cavaliers. Indiana and Miami look bewildered by Seattle’s ego. Seattle picks Cleveland up from the corner and instantly drops it with a Seattle Stunner. Seattle then taunts in the face of Cleveland as Miami and Indiana look on and shake its head and decide to team up together. Without Seattle realizing it, Miami sneaks up right behind Seattle with Indiana waiting in the wings. Miami instantly turns Seattle around and scoops Seattle up and Indiana leaps into the air, catching Seattle, and dropping the Supersonic with a crowd chanting 3D! Seattle is out cold towards the ropes. Miami then grabs a hold of Seattle’s legs and slingshots the Supersonics over the ropes as Seattle exits the Lotto Rumble leaving the Eastern Conference to decide the last 3 spots of the draft.


Pick #4: Seattle Supersonics

Top 3

With Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Andrew Bynum, and Danny Granger, all watching from private suite, the final three teams remain. Indiana and Miami have survived all this much chaos and with Cleveland down and almost out of it, Miami tells Indiana that it will not be denied. The team with Lebron James and Al Jefferson will look to add its second #1 pick over the last three years. Miami trades haymakers with Indiana. With Paul Pierce as the lone staple of the Pacers, Indiana could use another staple to begin its climb back to respectability in the Central division. Miami quickly grabs a hold of Indiana by the head and drops it with a running bulldog. The Heat can sense the excitement and energy and looks up at the draft lotto sign and points to it. It starts taunting and dancing right over Indiana. Miami then dances away from Indiana and attempts to do the worm. The Heat seem to be on this indescribable high like its under a powerful drug. Miami then drops the worm chop right across the chest of Indiana. Miami then awaits for Indiana to get back up to its feet so it could give it the Rock Bottom. Miami then throws the shoulder of the Pacer over its shoulder and yells at the crowd. Indiana then battles out of it and surprises Miami with a RKO! Indiana and Micami both look exhausted as Cleveland is still down and out over by the far corner of the ring. Indiana can’t go for a cover here as it picks up the heavy body of Miami. The Heat can barely move. Indiana struggles with the frenetic energy of Miami as they struggle towards the rope. Indiana tries to toss Miami out as Miami suddenly wakes up and holds onto the ropes for deer life. Indiana uses all of its strength and energy to try and eliminate the Heat. Cleveland wakes up and notices the situation before its eyes. Cleveland then charges towards Indiana and Miami and scoops up both of it’s legs trying to toss both over the top rope. Miami can’t hold on any longer and loses grip on the ropes and collapses to the outside while Indiana is able to hold on barely and lays on the ring apron.


Pick #3: Miami Heat

Cleveland thinks it has it all won with its back turned to Indiana without even realizing the bell hasn’t officially sounded yet. Indiana recovers enough to stand now on the ring apron. Miami is extremely mad at being eliminated. Instead of walking to the back, it grabs the leg of Indiana and trips the Pacers up. Cleveland turns around and runs right at Indiana knocking the Pacers off the ring apron and crashing into the Miami Heat and rolling to the ground. Ending the Lotto Rumble.


Pick #2: Indiana Pacers
