The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA draft lottery on Monday night. The Ringer's Zach Lowe was in the building to watch the drama unfold behind the scenes moments before the league announced the results on live television. According to Lowe, the people in the room that night were as shocked as the rest of us and it turns out that eight different teams came within one lucky bounce of winning the right to draft Cooper Flagg No. 1.
Lowe told his incredibly detailed draft lottery story to guest and Ringer boss Bill Simmons on Tuesday's episode of The Zach Lowe Show, revealing that the usually reserved audience of league executives couldn't stay quiet when the Mavericks won.
