Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I recently watched a video on YouTube that claimed that professional athletes, such as LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, sold their souls to the devil in order to become successful. I know it sounds rediculous, but the video uncovered many coincidences between these athletes and the Illuminati. I’d like to know you guys’ opinion! Thanks!

Like, seriously? It makes absolutely no sense as to why such a “might and powerful” organization would want these two. And if they were, would the Illuminati really want these guys to throw up the signs to expose the fact that they’re in a “SECRET” organization that nobody knows about. If they were this powerful, we wouldn’t know anything about them, right?
I don’t deny the fact that they could possibly exist but I don’t understand the reasoning. Can anyone explain why public figures would use a secret organization’s hand signals only to deny that they’re affiliated with it. What’s the logic behind this?
