The 2019 NBA Draft Lottery is only a few hours away and there is no doubt that teams covet top prospects Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett. Two brothers will face each other when the Golden State Warriors welcome the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals, while Dirk Nowitzki visited Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
Abbott welcomes Nowitzki
Texas Governor Greg Abbott had an opportunity to welcome Dallas Mavericks and NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki and said that he is glad that Dirk remained a Texan.
The great Dirk Nowitzki joined us today. The greatest Dallas Maverick & one of the best NBA players of all time. We’re glad he remains a Texan. @swish41 @NBA @dallasmavs pic.twitter.com/vHRjcxjefX

Zion Williamson is projected to be the No.1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft and there are a few potential destinations for him, so he took an opportunity to say hi and say that his favorite movie is Spike Lee’s “He Got Game” starring Ray Allen and Denzel Washington.

Johnson on Inside the NBA
Ernie Johnson was a guest on The Lefkoe Show and talks about Inside the NBA and that the show works so well because of humble guys who are willing to be made fun of, which is 100 percent true, and it’s happening in pretty much every episode.
