Summary

We tried to tell you last week about the Mavericks tanking and Gobert's angst, but it was so obvious that we didn't know how deep the Rudy rabbit hole was going to go. The Illumination has no intent to injure Rudy in a week where he is suspended while hurt. MVP Tracker Max Croes joins the program to explain how he scours the media for data to connect the dots on who people are voting for in the major NBA Awards categories. So if you want to keep your third eye firmly shut, definitely don't check out our Truth Teller this week and wait to find out who won MVP next month like everyone else.
