33 | The Top 5 Picks of the 2014 NBA Draft | The All "33" Team

In a later post, I will analyze more of the draft.  For now, I have time for the top 5, which are quite revealing, and add further proof to the theory the NBA is a "33 league", or "numerology based" league, at least in some degree.  Let us examine the first five picks of the NBA's draft which took place on June 26, 2014.

1. Cleveland - Andrew Christian Wiggins - February 23, 1995
2. Milwaukie - Jabari Ali Parker - March 15, 1995
3. Philadelphia - Joel Hans Embiid - March 16, 1994
4. Orlando - Aaron Addison Gordon - September 16, 1995
5. Utah - Dante Exum - July 13, 1995

If you can believe it, four of the five top picks have connections to "33".  Let us begin with Cleveland, Ohio, where Andrew "Christian" Wiggins will play, who was born with a coded 322 birthday.

• Cleveland = 3+3+5+4+5+3+1+5+4 = 33
• Ohio = 15+8+9+15 = 47
• Christian = 3+8+9+9+1+2+9+1+5 = 47
• 2/23/1995 = 2+2+3+1+9+9+5 = 31

Then there is Jabari Ali Parker, who shares a last name with star player Tony Parker.

• Parker = 7+1+9+2+5+9 = 33
• 3/15/1995 = 3+1+5+1+9+9+5 = 33
• Life # and Name Numerology of 33

It gets better when you examine the name and life number numerology of Joel Hans Embiid, who is said to be born in Cameroon.

• Embiid = 5+4+2+9+9+4 = 33
• 3/16/1994 = 3+1+6+1+9+9+4 = 33
• Life # and Name Numerology of 33

The fourth pick went to the Orlando Magic, an expansion teams of the early 90s that Shaquille O'Neal came into the league for.  That draft was held in the 33rd State, Oregon, on a date with "33" numerology, just like the birthdates of Parker and Embiid.

• Magic = 13+1+7+9+3 = 33
• Aaron = 1+1+9+6+5 = 22

As for Utah's Dante Exum, I don't know what to think.

• Dante Exum = 4+1+5+2+5+5+6+3+4 = 35
• 7/13/1995 = 7+1+3+1+9+9+5 = 35

The NBA even has "33" writers.  Look at the author of this draft summary by the league's own Scott Howard-Cooper.

• Howard = 8+6+5+1+9+4 = 33
• Cooper = 3+6+6+7+5+9 = 36
• Howard-Cooper = 69

To close, numerology says the top two picks were a good fit.  Why?  Let us examine, starting with Andrew "Christian" Wiggins".

• A Christian in Ohio?
• Christian = 3+8+9+9+1+2+9+1+5 = 47
• Ohio = 15+8+9+15 = 47

Then there is Jabari Parker and the Bucks.

• Jabari = 1+1+2+1+9+9 = 23
• Parker = 7+1+9+2+5+9 = 33
• Jabari Parker = 56
• Bucks = 2+21+3+11+19 = 56

Now no matter what you thought before, you see how it might be perceived as a good fit in at least one perspective.  Until next time.
