The Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar LeBron James dropped the first episode of the new season of his podcast, “Mind the Game.” Among the topics he discussed with his new co-host, former player and coach Steve Nash, was his experience mentoring and playing alongside young players.<\/p>

James discussed how he sometimes ends up expecting young players have the same level of game awareness and brilliance as he does. “When a coach writes down a play on the whiteboard, to not mess that when you get out on the court,” <\/em>said James. He added, “We would study those things, and this was like 8,9, 10, 11 years old. One of my pet peeves is a coach writing a play on the board, and 20 seconds later, guys go out there and f*** it up.”<\/em><\/p>

However, the four-time champion admitted that he “expects excellence from everyone.” The 21-time All-Star went on to say that it is unfair to have such expectations since the younger players don’t have the same kind of experience. “I have to check myself sometimes and say, ‘Okay, the level of experience is not there just yet,'”<\/em> the 6’9” forward added. <\/p>

The impact James has had on the league is unparalleled. After debuting in 2003, he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first NBA Finals appearance in 2007. Later, with the Miami Heat, James won his first two NBA championships in 2012 and 2013, earning both MVP and Finals MVP honors in each year. He also led the Cavaliers to their first-ever title in 2016 and won another championship with the Lakers in 2020.<\/p>

Among several records that he has set, James in the oldest active player in the league as well as the only player to cross 50,000 career points<\/a>. <\/p>

“They’re Wrong”- LeBron James Challenges NBA Belief on Midseason Trades<\/h2>

LeBron and Nash also discussed the challenges that come up with mid-season trades. Nash told James, “I’ve heard many people say you can’t make a blockbuster trade mid-season and contend.” <\/em><\/p>

However, the 40-year-old had a dismissive reaction, stating that while there are a few challenges, the teams can still contend. <\/p>

He said, “They’re wrong… It’s very challenging, especially midseason because — I mean, you know. You really start the season in September, and you start to implement what you want to do offensively, what you want to do defensively.” <\/em><\/p>

“And yes, throughout the course of the season, there’s times where, OK, maybe we should do this. OK, let’s lean to this. But the premise and the staple what you want to do offensively, defensively, is put in place, right?”<\/em><\/p>

James referred to the blockbuster Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis trade that shook the entire NBA world. <\/p>

He stated, “So when you add, when you add, when you say about blockbuster, not just a regular get a piece here and there, but if you have a blockbuster trade where you bring in a Luka Doncic, or a blockbuster trade, or for Anthony Davis goes to Dallas whatever, you have to kind of rearrange how we’re playing.”<\/em><\/p>

After being traded to the Lakers, Luka Doncic had quite a few underwhelming games. However, the 26-year-old found his rhythm back and led the Lakers to multiple wins. <\/p>\n
