LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers will not make his regular-season debut until mid-November after missing significant time due to sciatica. While fans miss seeing him on the hardwood, they can still see him on social media and through his podcast, “Mind the Game.” On Monday, the Lakers star teased a new episode of his show, co-hosted by two-time MVP Steve Nash, with a special guest.
The show started with James and head coach JJ Redick, before the Lakers hired him. Fans adored the material that the two began, which delved deeper into basketball terminology and plays. After the first season, Redick left the show to take over the coaching job, leading the four-time champion to continue the show with Nash in the second season.
On X, James posted on Monday about an upcoming guest on the show. The guest is a four-time champion, a two-time MVP and the best shooter in the league — Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry.
Over the years, LeBron James and Steph Curry have developed a close bond after being longtime rivals. In the new episode of James’ show, fans will witness and learn more about the mind of the Warriors superstar.
“You wouldn’t want to miss this one!! 🧑🏽🍳 Curry in the building! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾” James posted.
