Podcast’s Slam Dunk Return with Nash…

LeBron James is back on the mic, y’all! The Lakers star is dribbling his way into our ears with the “Mind the Game” podcast. Previously, LeBron teamed up with JJ Redick to spill the basketball beans like never before. But when JJ swapped his headphones for a whistle and became the Lakers’ coach in 2024, the podcast hit pause. Now, with Redick’s strict no-podcasting-while-coaching policy, LeBron needed a new co-host. Enter Steve Nash, the two-time NBA MVP and legendary point guard, ready to pick up the slack and showcase his basketball genius!

Nash, whose brain is probably shaped like a basketball, brings his incredible court vision and 18 seasons of experience to the table. With a track record that includes guiding Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden to who-knows-where, he’s here to ensure “Mind the Game” remains a slam dunk. Together, this dynamic duo is ready to serenade fans with their game insights. Sneak preview: The podcast relaunches on April 1—no joke!

Meanwhile, in the Lakers’ camp, things are looking bleaker than a rainy day in L.A. Head Coach JJ Redick’s team has been showing less energy than my grandma after a Thanksgiving feast. After a couple of disappointing games against the Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls, JJ admits the squad looks worn out—like they’ve been running a marathon with no water breaks. Let’s hope they find their groove soon or LeBron might have to step in with some motivational podcast pep talks!
