Nets superfan "Mr. Whammy" reacts to invitation to NBA Draft Lottery
Brooklyn Nets superfan Bruce "Mr. Whammy" Reznick reacted to being invited to the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery to CJ Holmes of the New York Daily News.
The Brooklyn Nets appeared to fulfill the wants of almost every person in the Nets fanbase earlier this week when governor Joe Tsai announced that Bruce "Mr. Whammy" Reznick was invited to attend the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery. While Reznick can't sit on Brooklyn's podium due to NBA rules, him being invited is exciting to everyone with a stake in the Nets' Lottery pick, including Reznick himself.
"If I only knew. I just got a call that they selected me," Reznick said when asked by CJ Holmes of the New York Daily News how the entire invitation process went down. Tsai announced Monday on his X account that Reznick was being invited to attend the Lottery that will be held in Chicago, Illinois on May.
10 and the hope from the fanbase is that Mr. Whammy brings the franchise some luck in an important summer. "Lemme tell you, my wife is up in heaven for two years.
We never missed a game from Jersey to Brooklyn in 30 years. She’ll take care of that to make sure we get some players that can really help us greatly," Reznick said, per Holmes, on the prospect of the fandom that he and his deceased wife, Judy, shared. "As far as I’m concerned, we’re a world champion every game, every year.
