Summary

As the Warriors push the Celtics to the brink of elimination, Steph Curry pushes the media to the brink of denying him his deserved Finals MVP. While the mainstream are distracted by these petty squabbles, the Illuminati turn back the clock to a simpler time. The year was 2014. Tom and Amin were a couple of naive, two eyed journalists covering the Heat/Spurs championship rematch, until a broken air conditioner changed everything. With the help of objective observers Izzy Gutierrez and Dan McCarney, we unveil our list of suspects in this conspiratorial whodunit. Subscribe to Basketball Illuminati!

0:10.8

All right, I'm on to you. I mean, I got my third eye open on this whole

0:14.4

Kevin O'Connor snafu. After rewatching it, it makes complete sense that this

0:20.6

was all in a elaborate setup for Cinephob. That you had this all diagrammed up,

0:26.6

that you would invite Kevin O'Connor from the ringer over to your computer.

0:30.9

And look at that. A viral moment talking about next week's Cinephob. I'm on to you. I mean,

0:36.8

man, I cannot tell you how much I wish. I wish that were the case, but it was an honest,

0:43.1

honest mistake from an honest podcaster. The worst part was in the moment. I knew how funny it was,

0:49.9

so I went along with that. Technically, I revealed it. If I hadn't said anything,

0:53.6

it would have just been something to me and Kevin. Because you're an honest person. You're all

0:57.1

about the truth. Yeah, I get it. I'm about the truth, but I'm also about the funny. And I knew

1:01.5

it was funny. It's just a funny thing. And again, I don't want to give away too much because I can't

June 23rd, draft day, and see what the episode was about. But it's the particular kind of content

1:19.1

that was on my screen that makes it even more absurd and more funny. But I'll be honest with you,

1:23.7

man, like, I don't get embarrassed often. I'm not embarrassed about the 2016 finals prediction.

1:28.2

I'm not embarrassed about last year's in the Buckswood winner game. I'm not embarrassed about

1:32.6

being in a dunk tank. This was legit embarrassing. Like, I was embarrassed and ashamed. And my
