I asked Google AI:

Toronto's population is significantly larger than Dallas. The city of Toronto has a population of around 2.8 million, making it the fourth-most populous city in North America. Dallas has a population of over 1.3 million, placing it 18th in North America. When comparing metropolitan areas, Toronto's Greater Toronto Area has a population of about 6.4 million, while the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area has a population of 6.8 million


I was thinking the city proper, I grant the surrounding area is pretty similar in size.

Markets do not care how big a city proper is.

St Louis only has like 280,000 people. Overland Park has 200,000 people.

If people don’t like a team with 1.8% odds possibly getting the #1 pick then they need to petition the NBA to get rid of the lottery and go back to the old school tank for the #1 pick.

If it was rigged, how did they do it?

Considering the Chiefs always pick at the end, I’d love a draft lottery where all 32 teams get in the lottery with equal probability of winning.

Imagine the Chiefs getting top half picks every other year.

Oklahoma City is about to win the NBA Title and has by far the most assets in the NBA. They are set up to be really, really good for a decade. That is a nightmare for the NBA as a brand. But...its still happening.

OKC isn't about to win anything. They are tied 2-2 in a series and probably would have been taken to game 6 against the Grizz if Morant didn't get hurt. They are not dominating like you seem to think they are.

Lots of basketball left to be played.

I didn’t ask LeBron how it’s rigged, I asked you.
