An accident, right? Well, what do you know, NBA commissioner David Stern just happens to pick up an envelope with a creased corner (after feeling around in there for a little too long) ...
Couldn't the NBA afford better-looking models?
... and that envelope just happens to contain the logo of the New York Knicks, allowing them to get the first draft pick. As a result, the Knicks walk away with future Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, and soon New Yorkers have a reason to watch basketball on TV again. Everyone wins! (Except the other teams, of course.)
