Dunk Contest Conspiracy Theory

Everyone seems to love a good conspiracy theory, and last night may have provided another for folks to debate in the weeks to come.  After the championship round of the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, the fans were given 60 seconds to text or tweet their vote of who they thought was deserving of the crown.

Where things got weird was when the night's MC Nick Cannon was handed the results envelope :09 seconds before the fan vote was supposed to end.  It seems as if the only possible solution is that the fan vote actually doesn't matter, or the results were given to Cannon through an ear piece or other method besides the envelope.
We'll let the conspiracy theorists sort this all out, but for a league that has been criticized for a lack of parity, and maybe even being rigged, this can't be a good thing.
