Mind the Game

Welcome to the first episode of Mind the Game with LeBron James and JJ Redick. We are really excited to share this podcast where we examine and celebrate the game of basketball. In this first episode we ask ourselves a very simple question, "What makes a great basketball player?" That question launches us into discussions about the The Los Lakers recent comeback win against the Los Angeles Clippers, philosophical questions about basketball IQ and we dive into concepts like "Thumb Down" and "Floppy" and "Horns Chest." We also talk about this year's leap of Jayson Tatum and The Boston Celtics and what makes them so dangerous. And finally, we dive into the influence of Stephen Curry.

Steve talks to LeBron about what the word ‘success’ means to him at 40 years old and the lessons he hopes he’s passed on to the next generation of NBA greats.

LeBron and Steve dive into something that they believe to be a crucial side of the game that isn’t discussed enough… the human body. We're talking about preparation, recovery, strength and condition, diet and taking care of the mind.

LeBron James and Steve Nash do a deep dive into how Steve Nash succeed in the NBA and ultimately changed the sport forever.
