In today’s basketball landscape, podcasts have become increasingly popular, allowing well-known figures in the sport to engage in discussions about their beloved game. From Paul George’s Podcast P to JJ Redick’s The Old Man and the Three to Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes in All the Smoke, basketball fans have a wide range of options to choose from. So, when it was revealed that LeBron James would be partnering with Redick for a new podcast called “Mind the Game,” the basketball world was buzzing with excitement.
What makes this announcement even more tҺrilling is that “Mind the Game” focuses on the technical aspects of basketball, such as playbooks, in-game situations, and various basketball concepts. It offers pure basketball conversation for enthusiasts.
One individual who shared his thoughts on this recent development was Draymond Green, the forward for the Golden State Warriors. Green expressed a slight disappointment that LeBron James had not yet appeared on his own podcast, but he acknowledged that as it is James’ own venture, he couldn’t sаy much about it. Nonetheless, Green emphasized his eagerness to see James and Redick delve into the intricacies of the game.
“I’m excited to check it out because I love a great basketball conversation. And you don’t get to have those often with many people, and you definitely don’t get to watch them often,” Green stated.
Green, known for his high basketball IQ, will undoubtedly appreciate the show. As a power forward with the mind of a point guard, he possesses the ability to dictate the Warriors’ offense. Green’s passing, play-making skills, and quick-thinking ability to analyze different on-court scenarios are widely recognized.
While Green’s defense has always been his strongest suit, as evidenced by his Defensive Player of the Year award in the 2016-17 season, he remаins a valuable asset for the Warriors despite the tоll that age may be taking on him.
