How it works
- The browser chooses an entry using cryptographic randomness with rejection sampling. Every remaining line has one chance; repeating a line gives that choice additional chances. The wheel animation presents the result already chosen.
- Choices and results are processed in this tab and are not automatically saved or uploaded. This is a casual selection tool, not a certified lottery or a prediction of real outcomes.
Assumptions and limitations
Team entries follow the source and season noted on the page. This is an independent random selector, not an NBA product, standings feed or prediction of game results. Players, injuries, trades and playoff qualification are not modeled.
How to use this tool
Review the choices, select a choice set when offered, and spin. The result card lets you spin again, remove that occurrence or close. Editing the list changes the candidate pool; a new choice set restores its reviewed defaults. Sound, confetti and animation have separate switches.
When to use it
Pick a franchise to research its home city, playing history or memorable basketball moments. A random assignment also helps distribute topics across a group instead of letting every participant choose the same highly visible team.

Worked examples

For a small comparison activity, keep only the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. Each then has a 1-in-2 chance. Restoring the full listed pool restores equal chances across that pool; championship records do not add weight.
