10. Watching David Stern get booed after he reveals the contents of the "Black Box." 9. New York Knick fans rioting and boycotting Jim Dolan and Isiah Thomas. Angry fans usually deliver on creative signs. Hopefully a majority of the rioters has on the Jim Dolan dunce caps. 8. Dick Vitale pleading his case for a team to draft JJ Redick. *Bonus: Count how many times Vitale uses the word "special" to describe a player. 7. Which player in the Green Room doesn't get drafted in the lottery? There's always one guy who ends up crying because of the let down and utter humiliation. 6. Who will be this year's Charlie Villanueva? The player who gets drafted a lot earlier than expected and has everyone raising their eyebrows? 5. Who makes the loudest fashion statement tonight? There's always one prospect in the Green Room who gets bold with his suit. It's only a matter of time before Stern implements a dress code on draft day. Hopefully someone gets pimped out ala Clinton Portis. 4. Listening to the draft day experts struggle with pronouncing the names of the International players. Followed by Stephen A. Smith screaming out, "I don't care how you prounounce his name, the boy can play." 3. Every year one player's head or hair is too much for the team cap they are given. Last year Michael Gelabale was the cap victim (see image below). This year my money is on Shelden Williams struggling to get his cap to fit tonight. His forehead is shall we say abnormal. 2. No matter who the Lakers end up drafting, Laker fans will blame Mitch Kupchak for taking the wrong player. 1. The anticipation will finally be over for and a lot of trade rumors will be put to rest. I'm expecting David Stern to say the following phrase at least three times tonight ... "we have a trade to announce."
Lol well we know what's in the box...the new ball and I think you could have another Charlie V type scenarion as well.
UPDATE - Dickie V's new word is "super" not "special." So far he's mentioned the word "super" three times.
Shelden does have a rather large head, me and my friends did a comparisson between Shelden Williams and Ken Griffey Jr. from the Softball episode of the The Simpsons, where he had gigantism, the comparisson was quite scary.
Will the Knicks take a true pg lol... I doubt it, but neither Phx or NJ need a pg either. NJ might use him as a back up though.
