Summary

Happy Birthday Illumination! Hopefully your third eyes were open during the All Star Draft, because LeBron James shared a glimpse of his future plans.

What kind of impact will they have on their new teams? Then Truth Teller extraordinaire Rachel Nichols of 'What's Burnin' and Showtime Sports joins us to discuss the All Star Game, load management, CBA negotiations and what she considers to be a real issue facing the league.
