Summary

Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes are definitely all suiting up and podcasting in this episode. It's time to bust out the Super Agenda in the wake of yet another All Star Weekend kerfuffle, another flawed format and too much Kevin Hart. We shine a light on Adam Silver's ignorance of Mavericks' ownership ulterior motives echoing a David Stern quote from 2007. And speaking of ulterior motives, Amin has an Inconvenient Truth about LeBron's lack of participation in the games. Basketball Illuminati is now part of the Count The Dings Network.
