Sometimes just that one day in May can dramatically alter the future of a basketball franchise.
Like it did for a losing Bulls May 20, 2008 when the Bulls defied extraordinary 1.7 percent odds to get the rights to the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft in the NBA Draft Lottery drawing. The Bulls as a 33-win team in a dysfunctional 2007-08 season went on to select an athletic guard who wasn't regarded as much of a shooter or scorer, local kid Derrick Rose. Three years later, the Bulls were in the Eastern Conference finals.
Sometimes it doesn't take much but some good luck.
