Is Atlanta Hawks owner Bruce Levenson the deeply conflicted
man he has portrayed himself to be?Levenson essentially turned himself in over the weekend by sharing with the NBA league office (as well as the media) a 2012 email that contained comments that could be considered racially insensitive or flat-out racist.
Did Levenson have a noble act of bravery by publicly falling on his sword and announcing he would sell his majority interest of the Atlanta Spirit (the conglomerate that owns the Hawks).
The Spirit purchased the Hawks in 2004 for 204 million
dollars.
It seems awfully strange that two years after that email was written, Levenson suddenly grew a set of morals.

Let’s examine the timing of this announcement further.
In August of 2014, shamed Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling made 2 billion dollars on the sale of his team following surreptitiously recorded racist comments that he made to his girlfriend, V Stiviano.
Apparently, the negative publicity and decades of operational incompetence didn’t do a damn thing to affect the value of that franchise.
Is Levenson simply seeing an opportunity to expedite a sale and make a massive profit?
Levenson didn't have his own Stiviano, so he made the decision to release an email and operate by getting in front of it and crying out about his sorrow and guilt.
Is Bruce Levenson contrite and sincere, or is he simply seeling a chance to improve his investment 10 fold?

This has to put rookie NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in a precarious position. He has to act without prejudice and enact sanctions upon Levenson, but is this exactly what Levenson wanted all along?
Did Sterling inadvertently show fellow owners a way to take a huge financial win fall while bearing some negative press?

Before Lebron 'came home', remember how people clued in on his eventual decision to go back to the Cavaliers by his wife's Instagram post?
The NBA True Detectives could not contain themselves.
This was a clear prophecy of Lebron James' intent to return to “The Land”. All the answers were in that Instagram post.
How could anyone not see it at the time?

How could anyone not see it at the time?
And what about this Instagram post by Lebron himself, six months before he made his 'decision part deux'?
In his touching message to Dwyane Wade, he says “No matter what happens in the future, we stuck together like brothers for life.”
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS?
How were we so blind? The clues were all there.
He might as well as said, “Thanks for the rings, I'm out!” By the way, that “no matter what” line is almost a complete reworded rip off quote from the Michael Bay classic, “Bad Boys II”.
You are no Will Smith, Lebron. And, you are no Martin Lawrence, Dwyane Wade, which is good because Gabrielle Union would have been your sister in said movie.

As evident by Lebron's post; who else is leaving cryptic messages in various social media posts that could answer a lot of questions now?
For instance, Bench Guy founder, Donnie DaSilva wrote a great article, “Where's Rondo Going?” If we dissect some of Rondo's activities on Twitter, one may stumble across the answer.
Eh? Eh? What the hell is Rajon Rondo doing in Albany, INDIANA?
Indiana, the home of the Pacers? To buy fireworks? Puh-lease!
Who spends their July 4th Holiday in Indiana unless they are from there?
A quick Wikipedia check told me, yup, he is from Louisville, Kentucky.
And then a google search told me that, Louisville is actually across a river from Albany, Indiana.
So you would think the theory is debunked. Rajon Rondo is not going to the Indiana Pacers, right? Think again. Explain this post...
@darty24 asked “Who yo Favourite Comedian?” and Rajon answered Kevin Hart and Mike Epps. Everyone loves (well, some what) Kevin Hart but Mike Epps? Black Doug from The Hangover? Naaaw, no way.
Rajon is meticulous with his Twitter responses as he is on the court.
There is a reason, he chose Mike Epps.
If you did not IMDB him by now, Mike Epps is from Indianopolis, Indiana.
The same city Rondo will demand a trade to in the coming months.
The stage has already been set. Rajon Rondo is ready to be an Indiana Pacer, well according to the interpretations of his twitter.
Another burning hot topic is, how will the Miami Heat do this season without Lebron?
Will they win another title this year?
Will they rise up without the king, and prove the strength of a TEAM is greater than any one individual?
We can venture into Chris Bosh's Instagram Posts to find the answer to that question.
Many of us are hyper aware of Kevin Durant's impending free agency in 2016.
The All Star has been bombarded with questions of whether he was going to play for his home town Washington Wizards or even the suddenly popular dark horse, Toronto Raptors.
Filtering through a plethora of tweets and Instagrams, one will find that Andre Iguodola's post was most conclusive of Kevin Durant wearing a Raptor Uniform...

Will Kobe Bryant beat Father Time? Can he play in season 2024-2025?
This can be answered by a recent twitter post from the Black Mamba himself, observe...
In that video post, Kobe takes an ice cold water plunge bringing the ALS bucket challenge to a next level. But read between the lines guys, Kobe did not just do that to support ALSA.org.
No, Kobe is preparing to cryogenically freeze himself a la Demolition Man/Austin Powers to battle a new dynasty in the future.
A dynasty up north, in the form of Andrew Wiggins, Tyler Ennis, and other high flying Canadian Super Stars (none of whom will be named Kevin Durant) in Raptor uniforms.
The clues are out there, pay attention or you'll be lost like Team USA observing a Hakka dance.
