The NBA deputy commissioner had a great reaction when he kept getting scooped on draft picks by fans

The fans at the NBA Draft had NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum laughing as they spoiled the news with a little help from Twitter.

One of the biggest changes that has affected NBA Draft coverage is the advent of Twitter and specifically, the scoops by NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

Now colloquially known as "Woj bombs," these scoops are delivered straight to the Twitter feeds of 1.8 million followers so that the public can find out breaking NBA news at the same time as news outlets get their hands on it.

A video from another angle shows the fans celebrating their announced pick. It appears that everyone was having a good time.

It's nice that Tatum took the jeers in such good stride. In other leagues it's easy to imagine a commissioner having much less fun with this scenario playing out, but after a long night of announcements this was a good bit of levity to close the show.
