Preparation, Recovery and Minding the Body

Episode 11

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 • Duration 49:58

Welcome back to another episode of Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash. In this episode, we dive into something that we 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. With LeBron playing at a high level at age 40, how does he approach the NBA calendar year? What are his offseasons like? How does he ramp up in preparation for the playoffs? And what are the little things that allow him to still be at the peak of his game at this stage in his life. Our goal in creating this show is to provide a little more insight into what it takes to play this game at a high level and we hope this conversation accomplishes just that. Thanks for watching Mind the Game.

How Three-Point Shooting Changed Everything

Episode 6

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 01:02:54

Welcome to Episode 6 of Mind the Game with LeBron James and JJ Redick. This episode was recorded a few weeks and it's our favorite one yet. Here we discuss the evolution of shooting in the NBA and how it's completely changed the way basketball is played. First we discuss how purpose of the modern NBA offense is to put two on the ball and the best players at doing that (Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, James Harden). Then the guys dig into early shot clock three-pointers and self created three-pointers like step-back threes and how those have also expanded the modern NBA offense. Which leads us into how difficult it is for defenses today to stop these offenses covering so much space. And finally, JJ and LeBron tough on the catch-and-shoot three-pointers and play a thought experiment where LeBron has to draw up his favorite ATOs for JJ — plays like "Victory", "Oklahoma", and "Clippers Down."

Again this is one of the nerdiest episodes of Mind the Game we'll ever do and we can't wait for you all to see it!
