Here's the result for the most exciting 30 minutes in the NBA that doesn't have to do with playing basketball. Yes, I'm talking about the 2010 NBA Draft Lottery. So what is it? According to Wikipedia:

"The NBA Draft Lottery is an annual event held by the National Basketball Association (NBA) in which the teams who had missed the playoffs in the previous season participate in a lottery process to determine the draft order in the NBA Draft. In the NBA Draft, the teams obtain the rights to amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. The lottery winner would get the first selection in the draft. The term "lottery pick" denotes a draft pick whose position is determined through the lottery, while the non-playoff teams involved in the process are often called "lottery teams".

In the current rules, 14 non-playoff teams participate in the Draft Lottery. The lottery is weighted so that the team with the worst record has the best chance to obtain a higher draft pick. The lottery process determines the first three picks of the draft. The rest of the first-round draft order is in reverse order of the teams' win-loss record. The lottery does not determine the draft order in the subsequent rounds of the draft"
