Cheerleader of the Day 

Thanks to our friends over at Icon Sports Media, we have access to thousands of great college & NBA basketball photos to use on the site.  Each day, along with our Picture of the Day, we'll be featuring a Cheerleader of the Day. In honor of the upcoming NBA Draft, we'll be focusing on NBA dancers until the end of June!

The 2008 NBA Draft Lottery was held Tuesday night, May 20th.  The Bulls were the big winner, moving up to the 1st despite owning less than 2% of the ping pong balls.

FACT #1: Most homegrown 1^st round picks since 2000: Celtics, Hawks, and Supersonics with 5 each (but these 3 teams have combined for only 7 playoff appearances in 8 years)

Another NBA draft is in the books, and as usual there was a ton of activity with even more rumors flying around. The biggest surprise of the night is the trades that didn’t go down, as opposed to what actually did transpire. Here are the top shockers from the evening:

Kevin Garnett is still in Minnesota

Boston (Trading #5 Pick, 2 players for Ray Allen)

Houston (Aaron Brooks)

New York (Wilson Chandler & Trade)

Miami (Daequan Cook)

Joakim Noah has an interesting sense of style. The Blazers would’ve made all 60 picks if David Stern allowed it. Spike Lee likes Zach Randolph a lot more than Channing Frye. And Stephen A. Smith isn’t a big fan of Jason Richardson.

But of all the things I learned during the NBA Draft, this is what I learned the most…

1. NBA teams gave up on last year’s picks awful quickly
