THE CAVS WON THE 2014 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY – WFNY Podcast – 2014-05-20
May 20, 2014
For the third time in four seasons, the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA lottery. The most recent iteration comes with the team, who was actually trying to win, having a 1.7 percent chance at coming out with the No. 1 pick. Naturally, Twitter went insane.
Take a look.

It doesn't matter where #Cavs are picking. Tonight is a huge victory. And yes folks, they're major players now in Kevin Love trade talks

Somewhere, Chris Grant and Mike Brown's beer cans just hit their respective televisions at the same time #Cavs

The Cavs are gonna have picked first overall more times in the last 4 years than the Knicks have picked at all. I hate the draft.

Simmons literally jumped the shark tonight. Crossed the line as a fanboy. Acted like a spoiled brat little Celtic fan who didn't get his way

Bill Simmons’ face when he learned the Cavs got the top pick. Don’t ever change, Bill. pic.twitter.com/4ZnEnJ4x7a

THE FANS OF THE CAVS DESERVE THIS. HUNG ON FOR ANOTHER SEASON EVEN THOUGH THE RECORD STUNK.

The odds on Cleveland getting the 1st, 4th,1st and 1st picks in the last four drafts is .0126% or about 1 in 8000, via @ArturoGalletti.

In case you're wondering, Jabari Parker has been at the top of #Cavs draft board much of the season.
— Jason Lloyd (@ByJasonLloyd) May 21, 2014
@WayneEmbrysKids WE ARE THE 1.7%

On a purely visual level, Cleveland GM David "Normal Guy" Griffin beating out Dr. J and the Bucks owner's daughter is so perfect.

I know this is a kid friendly site, so I cordially request that Bill Simmons cause himself to no longer be alive.
This is absurd and I love it.
By the way, TD, I’ve got to play grammar police. This is one of my biggest language pet peeves, so I apologize for the rant. I don’t believe Simmons “literally” jumped the shark. That would mean he actually, physically jumped over a shark. If he did, however, please share the footage, because I (and many others) would love to see it.
One thing is for sure the Cavs certainly are good at being bad.
I just made the same comment on another post – though much later to the game than you. Well done. So glad to see others on this Quality Control crusade.
I usually refrain from nerdy editing of the Internet – no one’s perfect, right? – but misuse of “literally” is so prevalent, I can’t help myself. I’d rather people replace “literally” with “f***ing.”
