1) If there was a shred of truth to any of this, with all of the GMs & coaches out there that I'm sure are upset over how they were treated by their former team, why haven't one of them come forward with this information.
2) What is Mutombo doing for work these days anyways. When he did that stupid GEICO commercial a few years back, it was the 1st time I'd heard his name in something like 20 years.
3) Like the OP article said, why would he have access to this kind of inside information?
4) Why did the 76ers think that a congratulatory tweet by him would generate any enthusiasm in the fan base?

rest - http://www.nba.com/2009/news/11/17/mutombo.nba/NBA Commissioner David Stern announced today that Dikembe Mutombo will join the NBA in the newly created position of global ambassador. Mutombo will report to Executive Vice President, Social Responsibility & Player Programs, Kathy Behrens.
After retiring from a playing career that spanned 18 seasons, Mutombo will now work to grow and celebrate the game through numerous international NBA events including Basketball without Borders. In addition, he will work closely on NBA Cares outreach efforts with Hall of Famer Bob Lanier who serves as Special Assistant to the Commissioner.
"Dikembe's extraordinary accomplishments on the court and in the community demonstrate why he is one of sports' outstanding humanitarians," Stern said. "His commitment to using the values of our game to improve the lives of so many is an example of the special role we have in being leaders in social responsibility. We know the impact programs such as NBA Cares and Basketball without Borders have in being catalysts for change on a global scale, and Dikembe's continued contributions will be invaluable in our global efforts to bring attention to important social issues."
Mutombo started the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation to improve living conditions in his native Democratic Republic of Congo in 1997. His commitment to improving the health, education and quality of life for the people in his birthplace, the Democratic Republic of the Congo led to the construction and opening of the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital and Research Center, a $29 million, 300-bed hospital in Kinshasa named after his late mother.

THIS ONES FOR JOHNWOULD YOU RATHER WIN UGLY, OR LOSE PRETTY?
The lottery has been going on for long enough to where people who were coaching in the 80s are now retired and would never even have any interest in coaching in the NBA again. I think there is about a zero percent chance at least once disgruntled former NBA employee would not have spilled the beans by now if the lottery really were rigged.
Members of the media who have sat in the room year after year and watched the NBA draw the ping pong balls and who have unanimously said that it would be impossible to rig such a system the way they have it set up.
Also, I'm not the one accusing the NBA of wrongdoing, so the burden of proof isn't on me. This is still America, and both individuals and corporations are innocent until proven guilty.
So, why pass up the opportunity to make some cash by showing the drawing live?
Look, to be honest, the NBA lost it's appeal to me years ago. I think it's a terrible product, I would MUCH rather watch college ball.
I'm not accusing them either. I simply don't give a ****.
A lot of players have done humanitarian stuff. Larry Fiz is not only a humanitarian, but is the kind of human being that ever parent hopes their child will grow up to be like. Does that mean that the Cards are going to tell him all their dirty secrets &/or need his blessing in order to get the fans excited about their latest transaction?
