in 2016, dikembe mutombo made people question the draft's legitimacy when he prematurely tweeted a congratulatory message to the philadelphia 76ers for receiving the first pick hours before the lottery was conducted. philadelphia did indeed win the first overall pick. further questions were raised a bit when the nba draft revealed that every spot remained exactly the same as it was before the event took place, which was the first occurrence in draft lottery history. a year later, lakers executive magic johnson raised even further questions about the draft process with him assuring head coach luke walton that the lakers would acquire a top 3 pick for the 2017 nba draft after an interview walton had on may 4, 2017, twelve days before the draft lottery commenced and moved up to the second pick. as a result of the way teams like the philadelphia 76ers were manipulating draft odds in their favor by losing games on purpose, starting september 28, 2017 with the end of the 2018 nba draft, the nba implemented a new system discouraging teams from going through philadelphia's route in the mid-2010s by not only giving the worst three teams equal odds at the #1 pick, but also increasing their odds at going down within the draft with four teams being selected instead of the usual three.

the 1980 nba draft was the 34th annual draft of the national basketball association (nba). the draft was held on june 10, 1980, before the 1980–81 season. in this draft, 23 nba teams took turns selecting amateur u.s. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. the first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each conference, with the order determined by a coin flip. the boston celtics, who obtained the detroit pistons' first-round pick in a trade, won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the utah jazz were awarded the second pick. the celtics then traded the first pick to the golden state warriors before the draft. the remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season. an expansion franchise, the dallas mavericks, took part in the nba draft for the first time and were assigned the eleventh pick in each round. a player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was automatically eligible for selection. before the draft, five college underclassmen announced that they would leave college early and would be eligible for selection. the draft consisted of 10 rounds comprising the selection of 214 players. this draft has the distinction of being the first nba draft to be televised.
