The NBA Draft Lottery is a unique experience. Teams gather in New York to have ping-pong balls picked out at random to determine who gets the top three picks in the NBA Draft and fans from all over watch in giddy anticipation. Of course, the NBA understands this and has made the entire thing into a compelling few minutes of TV complete with teams sending designated representatives to, well represent them, on stage as the draft order is announced. This season Isaiah Thomas was named the representative for the Boston Celtics, which seems like a great choice considering how well Isaiah in Boston has worked out so far.
While it remains to be seen if Thomas wins the top draft pick, he has already won the night with his unique lucky charm token, which happens to be actual Lucky Charms.
Isaiah Thomas brought Lucky Charms, like pieces of cereal, as his lucky charms. The lottery is the best.

There are a fair amount of questions here but one sticks out the most: How exactly is Thomas carrying around the cereal? Is it in plastic bags? In his pocket? Is he just carrying them around in his hand?
There is also the question about where he got them from. Did he bring them from Boston? Buy them in New York? Get them at his hotel this morning? All important details to be sure, and someone should ask Isaiah the questions, especially if the Celtics do end up with a top three pick.
