The difference between #1 and #4 is Tim Duncan and Stephen Jackson. Lets say I won the lottery at #4 ... All of a sudden you have Penny/Wallace/Duncan + future picks ... you can build for a champsionship fairly easily there. Instead you get stuck with Keith Van Horn This is no surprise; the arguement here is that luck plays a large role; i dont think thats debatable. but yes; heat did make strong moves and deserved to win I've also seen teams fail to build around their superstar properly after landing the #1 pick and failed to win a championship. Luck is surely involved but a lot more has to do with skill. Making trades to help the direction of your franchise, managing salary, setting DC's to your team's strength to maximize potential. I don't disagree with what you said in terms of the difference between Duncan and Jackson but a great GM will overcome those moments of "bad luck"
