Today, Los Angeles Lakers
superstar LeBron James and former NBA player (and current ESPN
analyst) JJ Redick launched a new podcast called “Mind the
Game.”
The series centers around James
and Redick discussing basketball-centric concepts, including the Xs
and Os and the game within the game.
“Mind the Game” will try to
break through the traditional setting of sports talk shows that
typically center around subjective views and opinions. The series
plans to delve deeper into the actual game of
basketball.
For example, in the first episode, James and Redick discuss what
makes a great basketball player and then delve into some of their
favorite plays.
This new venture is a
partnership between James’ and Redick’s production companies,
Uninterrupted and ThreeFourTwo Productions. This show will post a new episode each week
that’s roughly 45-60 minutes. It is available on YouTube and all
podcast platforms.
On the first episode, Redick and
James mentioned that they’ll have guests join them on the podcast
at some point going forward.
