In a draft lottery where historical franchises in Los Angeles and Boston were expected to re-up with a top-3 talent, the opposite came true: for the third time in four years, the Cleveland Cavaliers (1.7% chance to win the lottery) won the draft lottery, being awarded the number one overall pick in the most anticipated draft since 2003.
And Twitter reacted well. Here are several reactions from the Cavs winning the lottery.
Cavs get No. 1 pick AGAIN.

If you don't think this will send LeBron-going-back rumors into overdrive, you're high.
