    listening to the interview, Stern says people think it's rigged because of people like Rome or media types, but that's bs. most people think it's rigged because something seems off. you won't see media types doing a thorough investigation of the lottery.

    but Stern is starting to troll Rome hard. I have to give Stern credit, he is a master manipulator, he managed to get under Rome's skin towards the end.

    Spurs fans are up in arms demanding Stern's resignation worse than Suns fans were in 2007

    Rome tried to troll Stern but Stern reversed trolled Rome and had him crying by the end.

    That's one crafty sonbish
    and you mistook me for trolling when I said I was burning the candles at both ends with my late night and early morning conversations with Kori...things were so much better when you were not around

    It's a classical example of a loaded question. You cannot answer either way, but Stern was acting as if Rome's question was loaded. Stern could just say "no".

    It's used all the time to illustrate loaded questions.

    A loaded question is a question which contains a controversial or unjustified assumption, e.g., a presumption of guilt.[1]
    Aside from being a logical fallacy, such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner's agenda.[2] The traditional example is the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, he will admit to having a wife, and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question, and in this case an entrapment, because it narrows the respondent to a single answer, and the fallacy of many questions has been committed.[2] The fallacy relies upon context for its effect: the fact that a question presupposes something does not in itself make the question fallacious. Only when some of these presuppositions are not necessarily agreed to by the person who is asked the question does the argument containing them become fallacious.[2] Hence the same question may be loaded in one context, but not in the other. For example the previous question would not be loaded if it was asked during a trial in which the defendant has already admitted to beating his wife.[2]
    This fallacy should be distinguished from that of begging the question,[3] which offers a premise the plausibility of which depends on the truth of the proposition asked about, and which is often an implicit restatement of the proposition.[4]
    The term "loaded question" is sometimes used to refer to loaded language that is phrased as a question. This type of question does not necessarily contain a fallacious presupposition, but rather this usage refers to the question having an unspoken and often emotive implication. For example, "Are you a murderer?" would be such a loaded question, as "murder" has a very negative connotation. Such a question may be asked merely to harass or upset the respondent with no intention of listening to their reply, or asked with the full expectation that the respondent will predictably deny it.

    Jim Rome is one of the worst sportscasters around-- a melodramatic drama queen. I'm glad Stern dogged him. If conspiracy theorists could come up with one shred of evidence it would be one thing, but it's always people ing when their team doesn't win. No one in San Antonio hinted that things were rigged when they got Tim Duncan with the #1 pick even though Boston had better odds, and no one claimed the finals were rigged when the Spurs won 4 les, but as soon as things don't go the way the homers want, they cry conspiracy.

    It would be funny if a team that wasn't in the lottery would have gotten it. I wonder how the sports community would have liked that.

    Stern responded to a loaded question by asking Rome a loaded question. Pretty dumb question to ask. What was Stern gonna say? "Yes, it was fixed?". I like Rome, but he had it coming today. He could have phrased it differently, but decided not to.

    I guess they did do the draft this time around.

    people thinking a Big 4 firm would ruin its reputation over something that's probably not that lucrative

    Stern needs to stop stealing my shtick.

    This is the only movie I stopped watching just because how awkward and uncomfortable it is. I stopped right at this scene.
