One of the most hilarious spectacles in sports, the NBA Draft Lottery, is tonight at 7:30 central on ESPN. For long term New Orleans Pelicans fans the details of the process are known like the back of our hand, but there are always new fans who need a lottery primer, or old fans who have tried every year to forget thinking this was the last time ping pong balls would be the show in May.
Alas, here we are again.
Alvin Gentry, who recently received a vote of confidence from owner Tom Benson and president Mickey Loomis, will represent the franchise on the telecast.
