Shaquille O’Neal makes shocking confession on NBA draft rigging conspiracy theories amid Cooper Flagg drama

In the 1992 American Professional League, Shakil O’Neill found himself choosing No. 1 in general to Orlando Magic. After the recent conspiracy theories with regard to the lottery, the Grand Hall of Famini released an old story from when he was preparing to enter the positives.

This year, Dallas Maverx achieved a historical leap to the No. 1 selection in the 2025 draft. Now, the months of the Luka Doncic trading to La Lakers were removed, as it is preparing to land with the new foundation stone in Cooper Flagg. When seeing that Dallas has a chance of only 1.8 % for the highest selection, many have argued if the results are formed.

During a recent interview with Ashley Neville, Shakil O’Neill added some fuel to the fire regarding these loud theories. Before he was formulated, he said he spoke with the then Commissioner David Stern about the type of weather he wanted to play. After saying he wanted to be warm somewhere, magic occurs to win the lottery.

“You pulled me to the side, you want to play where the atmosphere is cold or where the atmosphere is hot,” O’Neel said. “I was like hot, smile and smile. Then, after two days they have a draft thing.”

“Orlando, Florida No. 1. I haven’t thought about anything, but you hear many of these conspiracy theories.”
