Today is one of my favorite days of the year. I don’t know if that says more about me or about the Sixers (really, it doesn’t a lot about either of us), but the draft lottery has been an event for Sixers fans for the last four years. I’ll be down at Xfinity Live later today with the rest of the lottery party crew getting my picture taken with a cardboard cutout of Vlade Divac and drinking Dirty Shirleys, but before that, I think it’s pertinent to look at the history of the NBA lottery and how it intertwines with the Sixers.
