Summary

Three plus years after investigating a conspiracy, Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes get full confirmation that LeBron was not allowed to be on Lakers loss graphics. While the mainstream media wants you to believe that trading Paul George was the crucial domino for both the Pacers and Thunder to build their teams, it turns out there was an even more impactful trade that set the wheels in motion. Truth Teller Nate Jones of Goodwin Sports analyzes the NBA Finals and the state of the association from a marketing perspective, highlighting how the consumer landscape is so drastically different since the height of monoculture.
