NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo tweeted out a congratulatory message to the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday, hours before the Draft Lottery was to take place.
Here's Dikembe Mutombo congratulating @Sixers for top pick…before the lottery. He took this down not long after. pic.twitter.com/1LhvIJp8pN

Now, either Mutombo isn’t aware of how the lottery system works or he’s just tipped us all off to a humongous conspiracy.
The Sixers — a team Mutombo played with for two years — do have the best chance of any team to land the top spot in the upcoming 2016 NBA Draft after having won just 10 games last year.
But it’s not a given…or is it?
If Philly does end up with the No. 1 overall pick, this tweet might just have found a place in NBA infamy.
