LeBron James and Steve Nash sit down for an unfiltered, in-depth conversation about basketball—how it’s played, how it’s evolved, and what it really means to understand the game.

From breaking down the Nash dribble and the evolution of the short roll, to dissecting playoff adjustments, body recovery, and how great players process the game in real time, Mind The Game goes deep into the nuances that define elite basketball.

This isn’t a show about hot takes or headlines. It’s a masterclass in basketball IQ—told through the lens of two of the greatest to ever do it.

Mind The Game is brought to you by UNINTERRUPTED and Wondery.
