Koi🤞NBA low probability of winning the No. 1 pick to sign the team: Yao Mingmei s thick eyebrows were stolen, and one team missed KD
The 2025 NBA lottery ceremony was held in Chicago. The Mavericks were lucky to win the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance. The second pick belonged to the Spurs, and the 76ers won the Tanhua lottery.
