		Starting with the 1985 draft, the NBA began to use a lottery to determine the order of selection for those teams missing the playoffs (or the teams holding their picks through trades) for the first round, with teams picking in inverse order of their records in all succeeding rounds.
		In order to “level the playing field,” the National Basketball Association (NBA) allows teams with poor regular season records priority in the draft of college, foreign and (now) high school players.
		This system was modified for the 1994 draft lottery to increase the chances of the teams with the worst records in the league winning one of the top three picks in the draft while decreasing the lottery chances of the teams with the best records.

	NBA Draft Lottery FAQ
		Each team in the lottery is assigned a certain number of combinations, such that teams with worse records are assigned more combinations increasing their odds of landing a top-3 pick.
		When two or more lottery teams are tied with each other, the number of combinations is divided equally among the tied teams, if possible, and random tie-breakers that take place a few weeks before the lottery are used to determine seeding should none of the tied teams receive a top-3 pick.
		In the 2004 draft, the combinations awarded to the thirteen lottery teams were 250, 200, 157, 105, 104, 64, 37, 36, 18, 9, 9, 6, 5.

	Tales from NBA Draft history - June 15,2000 by Harvey Frommer
		The 1970 NBA Draft yielded such greats as Dave Cowens by Boston (4th); Pete Maravich by Atlanta (3rd); Bob Lanier by Detroit (1st); Calvin Murphy by San Diego (18th); and Geoff Petrie by Portland (8th).
		The records from that primitive time are so shrouded in a time warp that a couple of the players drafted in '47 like Bob Alemeida and George Petrovick have a question mark next to their name signifying a lack of information as to the college they played for.
		The first draft in 1947 saw first-round selections made by Pittsburgh, Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago, Washington and Baltimore.

		The EA Sports Throwback Trax Powered by Rhino – which deals exclusively with tracks that are at least 18 months old – seems a departure from the game developer's recent music deals, which focused on ferreting out up-and-coming talent to attach to its most popular games.
		However, it could just as easily be the beginning of a move to build a premium content celestial jukebox which players can access for a monthly fee.

	NBA Live 2001 -- PS2 -- Five Stars
		NBA Live allows you to play exhibition games against all 29 NBA teams as well as the eastern/western all star teams and all-decade teams from the past.
		The first thing I noticed about NBA Live 2001 is how easy it is to customize your game and, as an offshoot of this, to add lots of depth and longevity to the title.
		The game is set up for one to two players at a time, but since it allows you to make multiple user profiles and records each one’s stats and game standings, the game is nicely set up to keep track of eight separate users.
