ummm...in the NBA the team with the best record picks last, not the champions.

2005 - San Antonio wins title - Phoenix wins regular season but holds last pick.
2006 - Miami wins title - Detroit wins regular season, and has last pick
2007 - San Antonio wins title - Dallas wins regular season, and has last pick
2008 - Boston wins both so certainly picks last



The NHL drafts as you say starting last year, and I think the nfl does too, but the nba goes by regular season standings.

But to me the draft should be like the pro drafts- with team finishing last picks first the the teamt that finishes first picks last in Round One. In Round Two, team that finished first should pick first and the team that finished last should pick last. Then again reverse the order

That's a snake-draft commonly used in fantasy leagues. In all real drafts I know of, the order remains the same in each round.
