Do You Believe?

Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes check in on Woj's dormant twitter account and discover signs of life. The Lakers dreamy 3-0 start to the season has faded into a more true to life 6-4 record with some bumps and bruises along the way. However, this hasn't stopped Dream Journal LeBron sharing tales from his mind palace, that all seem to involved Duke for some reason. Tom did his own research on the surge in star player injuries and how it stacks up on the recent past. In our new segment "Do You Believe?", we put the undefeated Cavaliers and struggling Bucks under the microscope. Basketball Illuminati is now part of the Count The Dings Network.

Where's The Beef?

Codebreakers abound this week on Illuminati. We're two weeks into the NBA season and some long simmering pots have come to a boil. In Charlotte, Grant Williams was ejected after he hip checked former teammate and alleged friend Jayson Tatum, ruining their dinner plans that evening. In Philadelphia, local columnist Marcus Hayes incited the wrath of Joel Embiid with some transgressive comments about the MVP's family. Finally, Compton's own Truth Teller Travonne Edwards taps in on the words indirectly exchanged between Drake and DeMar DeRozan in Toronto.

Centel Intelligence

Way back in March of 2022, Tom Amin and Mayes interviewed the entrepreneur behind Ballsack Sports, who was changing the social media landscape with his deceptive misinformation. Now we're living in a new era, where any unsuspecting person can get clipped by the Marlo to Ballsack's Avon Barksdale: NBA Centel. We also bring in Wosny Lambre aka Big Wos of the Ringer to discuss an aggrieved Clippers' staffer suing the team, and he reveals a conspiracy surrounding the new Intuit Dome.

Truth Revealed

As the Illuminarmy Generals have broken their year long silence, Tom was the victim of a social media hack and Amin was taken captive on his trip to the Basketball HOF. Tom Did His Own Research on which agencies have the most salary accrued from and the largest volume of players on each team in the association. However, in order to make sense of it, we must explain the Camden Connection. Finally, Truth Teller and Executive Producer Zach Harper joins the show to explain the conspiracy swirling around the WNBA Finals. Basketball Illuminati is now part of the Count The Dings Network.

The Big Bomb Theory

On September 18th, ESPN Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski retired to become the GM of the men's basketball program at St. Bonaventure. On October 7th, Woj's former protegé Shams Charania replaced him as ESPN's new Senior NBA Insider. Much like a stunning twist in a season finale of Succession, this shakeup in the news breaker hierarchy came as a surprise to many, but for those with their third eye open, the clues were there. Tom, Amin and Mayes take you back to the point of origin, which led to a chain reaction that played out this summer as the Los Angeles Lakers searched for a new coach.

Back Like Jordan, Wearing the 45

The Illuminarmy generals are back! Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes have returned with their third eyes wide open to update the Illumination on a foundation shaking event that transpired while they were underground. In June, Tom discovered statistical irregularities in one of the most important pillars of Michael Jordan's mythology: his 1988 Defensive Player of the Year award. After the bombshell story went viral on Yahoo Sports, detailing evidence of home cooked stats, the startling revelation was clouded amid a morass of Klutch propaganda spurred by Nick Wright. Now, the Illuminati have enlisted Truth Teller and former NSA researcher Justin Jacobs to audit Tom’s findings and set the record straight.

Tough Guy Talk
