Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant reacted to the stunning NBA Draft Lottery results with a post highlighting the difficulty and stress that comes with being a tanking team in the NBA.
The Dallas Mavericks' NBA Draft Lottery win left the basketball world stunned. After enduring one of the most criticized and difficult seasons in recent memory, the Mavs will head into next season with the No. 1 overall pick and a potential franchise-altering talent added to their roster.
There's no doubt that Dallas will keep the top pick and select Duke’s star forward Cooper Flagg, one of the most highly anticipated prospects in years.
Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant reacted to the surprising turn of events on social media, possibly taking a subtle jab at the NBA or teams that have embraced tanking.
"Tanking must be really stressful on a organization," Durant wrote on X.
What makes the Mavericks' lottery win even more shocking is the mere 1.8% chance they had of landing the No. 1 pick.
Meanwhile, the three teams with the best odds, each holding a 14% chance, ended up outside the top three: the Utah Jazz landed the fifth pick, the Charlotte Hornets the fourth, and the Washington Wizards dropped to sixth.
