ESPN had 76ers fans ready to lose it after NBA Draft Lottery screw up

For any 76ers fan watching the NBA Draft Lottery, you probably lost your mind as the ESPN announcers completely screwed up the draft positions.

As we approached the top-five, the ESPN host blurted out that the Sixers are going to lose their first-round pick to OKC since it was going to land outside the top-six. This was a false alarm, the 76ers ended up with the third overall selection, but it didn’t stop fans from freaking the fuck out.

As if 76ers fans haven’t dealt with enough, now we have to deal with Fake News

I mean, what the hell was that? You can’t be saying stuff like that, especially when it comes to Sixers fans.

We didn’t end up with the first pick, so honestly, we’re probably screwed either way here. Losing the first-round pick altogether would’ve just been the cherry on top.
