One fan had his voice heard above the rest.
As NBA commissioner Adam Silver walked onto the stage at the NBA Draft, one fan yelled, "Dallas was rigged!"
The Mavericks got the No. 1 pick despite slim lottery odds, and with it, the right to take Cooper Flagg.
There have been plenty of accusations of a rigged lottery through the years.
Patrick Ewing to the Knicks. LeBron James to the Cavs. Derrick Rose to the Bulls.
The Mavs just traded Luka Doncic in the most shocking trade in NBA history in February.
To get Flagg after that? It certainly is quite the coincidence.
Rigged? Probably not.
But that loud fan isn't the only one thinking it.
