The NBA is back and so are we. Season 3 of Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash is bringing the same high level basketball conversation with even more game analysis and insight from two of the game's brightest.
On the season premiere, the duo discuss what offensive plays they would run if they were on the same team, preview this year’s new Los Angeles Lakers squad, look at Luka Dončić's offseason transformation, and LeBron shares his biggest culture shock when he entered the league as an 18-year-old.
James also tells Nash about his latest golf obsession, what the guys noticed watching EuroBasket, which teams are using the dunker effectively and the play style differences between eras and how injuries play a factor in load management.
