The NBA playoffs are set to commence this weekend, with Kevin Durant’s Rockets taking on LeBron James’ Lakers. Both superstars, however, are facing scrutiny due to their affiliations with Israel. Durant is notably an investor in Skydio, a drone manufacturer funded by the CIA that provides surveillance and weaponry exclusively to government bodies.
