- Welcome to Episode 7 on Mind the Game with LeBron James and JJ Redick. This episode was recorded last week, shortly after LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers first round series against Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and the Denver Nuggets. LeBron explains why he thinks he, Anthony Davis and the Lakers lost the series and what simply made the Nuggets the better team. He also opens up about how he's personally feeling heading into the offseason. Then, they get into some of the observations and takeaways from other series' in the playoffs including; actions that make Jamal Murray, Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks), and Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia 76ers) the most dangerous. They also share what they think gives Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, and the Minnesota Timberwolves an advantage in the playoffs, what it's like facing elite defenders like Luguentz Dort (Lu Dort) (Oklahoma City Thunder) for multiple games throughout a series, and much more.

Ask him about Darvin Ham💀💀
no need bro i already know why Lakers player want Hamburger gone.
@@norudelzarelol not hamburger 😂
@@malakaithedemigodhe cant coach and im Lakers fan im tired with him cant even call a timeout
I don’t think he had been fired at that point when they recorded this
How is that funny to you?
Imagine this:
Lakers ball, down 2, calls TO
10 seconds left in the game
JJ Redick, the new Lakers head coach, draws up a brilliant ATO to win the game
LeBron, confused as all hell in the huddle: “JJ wtf, are we Xs or are we Os right now??”
Dlo: “are the O’s the ball?”
@@hyaashiredd nahhh this one got it bro
@@bluesyace9564”I can’t flip the play in my head”
@@cheatertornadozthat’s Rui lmao
😂😂😂 this is gold
Basketball needed this. I love this show. No outlandish speculations, rumors, “hot takes” just for clicks. Just basketball. Thank you JJ and Lebron
👍
The glazing is wild! 💀💀💀
You can imagine JJ and lebron talking about a win during the week together if he was coach 😂 just bringing up plays that worked and didnt.
@kenyonr people can't show respect or be thankful to other without being called a "glazer"
@@devinchinchilla7804 da fuarq is even a glazer
Bron still on his 2014 Lenovo Windows 720 webcam laptop "This still under warranty, I aint upgrading shit..:
I'm surprised i haven't seen any other comments pointing this out lmao
He is legend to be quite thrifty 😊
LeCheap
Spanoulis mentioned, Greece mentioned 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷Shout out to Lebron and JJ
☝🏻🔥
Spanoulis, Reddick, and Fredette are my favorite players to watch.
Rockets legend
The Varejao screen, the Gortat screen and now Spanoulis action. This podcast has taught me so much about the sport that I've come to love it more.
Shoutout to Greek Basketball! 🇷🇸
Stephen A watching just so he can have a topic to hate on 😂😂😂
You know it!!! 😂😂😂
💯
Yep! 😂😂😂
Stephen A has been fueling LeBron hate almost as much as Skip these days. It’s ridiculous.
LeBALCO James is a fraud just like Stephen A Myth!
7 episodes!!...this is the longest head coaching interview I've witnessed 😂
I hope he didn’t get the job. I prefer him as an analyst…
Agreed. Feels like first time seeing a head coach job interview on CZcams.
Mmm.no...not going to happen..
Having LeBron‘s insight on basketball is gold in itself. But hearing him break down the NBA playoffs is by far the best gift of NBA fan can ever have. This is awesome!
Been waiting YEARS just for him to join Inside the NBA the few times he hasn’t been playing in the finals. This is better than I could have hoped for. I just pray now that they continue through the whole playoffs
Bru what are you talking about??!! Dude doesn't say anything worth listening to. I don't know where people get this "he has high basketball intelligence" from. Y'all can't know much yourself. And I'm not being a LeBron hater either. U LeBron lovers needs to start giving examples of what LeBron say that's considered as basketball intelligence and worth hearing so I can laugh. It's nothing like when MJ talked basketball and I'm not even a Jordan fan but u can listen to him talk the game all day! These guys are boring.
Y'all couldn't have been players! Real players are listening to this like WTF! He's just talking about what happened..what's that?!
@@ashian23x46 the fact that you don't acknowledge the work they put in to be great. And can’t seem to enjoy a first-person account of the event is concerning. Go let Stephen A. or Skip explain to you what LeBron was thinking. You're on the sideline thinking you have more IQ than a declarated NBA veteran (arguably the goat). Whatever these players say is gold. Because their account is the real account. Everything else outside of the stats is speculation. A person who enjoys learning about basketball and not speculation will enjoy this content.
Just like LeBron..saying a lot of nothing. Arguably the goat! In your eyes maybe but we have eyes too. And in my eyes all I see is a man who just wanna drink wine and agree with everything JJ Reddick says. I guess fouling while up 3 was interesting but only players these days think about that because: one, they don't play defense. And two, all these cupcakes think about is the 3 ball. I asked u to give examples of his high basketball knowledge. If you're right, I'll agree with you. I can give u plenty that MJ said and did that would be considered as real basketball intelligence.
Lebron noticed it too. Porter Jr is super elite when they play the Lakers. Can't miss
Then choked again the Wolves. They are clowns.
@@jackjax7921 the wolves defense is just a million times better than the lakers
@@nctifiedno the nuggets are just not as good as everyone thinks last years run was a fluke they about to get washed by wolves
2 things can be right at the same time
I agree. The wolves can be THAT good, and the nuggs aren’t as good as last year.

@@twist1298 #peace hey thx for the reply‼️ #reverently
Thanks bro, needed this
the hero we didnt know we need
We need you under every episode bro
The breakdown of the Denver nuggets is why a podcast like this is so necessary. No clickbait just tactical observations.
Denver wins 1 chip. Before that nobody thought about them, now it’s like there the standard lol, glad wolves about to sweep them so it can stop.
@1Scital1 You were just living under a rock, everyone said once they have everyone healthy they'd be contenders. And guess what, they won it the first year they were healthy
@@1Scital1Everyone was saying that they would compete as soon as they were healthy. They lost 2 prime seasons with Murray out.
@@1Scital1 that’s you personally not knowing ball, speak for yourself
@@1Scital1stop hating you clearly don't even know ball empty headed 🤡 ✌️
Lol! @47:20 JJ bringing up the free throw disparity.
Love the vibes man!
Bruh imagine JJ being the Lakers head coach next season ! You know Bron and JJ are going to be drinking hella wine on those plane trips 🤣🍷
Do a compilation of their funniest moments on the podcast
if jj becomes the coach that means the podcast is done with
damn I haven''t seen you in a minute
I am a fan of Golden Hoops
@@zyxtrr who said that?
This is by far the best sports podcast out there. No bias, no narratives, just pure love of the sport.
Shout out to the Mismatch tho.
No bias or narratives? Lol.
Stephen A Smith doesn't participate in this podcast. @@Sbock86
@@Sbock86there will always be bias and narratives, but if you wanna take as malicious that kindve speaks about you more than anything. It’s basketball it’s not that deep
how many times yall wanna comment this lol
You guys should have a watch party for the Denver Minnesota series, I'm positive everyone would love it
take your OWN ADVICE
Hell no, I don't wanna see Bron give the nuggets any type of clicks and attention, praying on Denver downfall 🙏
100%
nah, lebron on vacation now man lol
@@StufffTV the new streak is only at 1:0. No one beats the Lakers 12 times in a row.
This podcast makes it crystal clear that basketball is a team sport. It’s 5 on 5, and having better players often means a better team, but one guy doesn’t “will” the team to a win. There was a time when illegal defense was a thing that players could really go 1 on 1 to get a basketball “at will,” but that hasn’t existed in a while (and it’s debatable to what extent that was actually ever the case). The NBA is such a treat to watch
There is a reason why Gordon is there or the player is there. Great podcast
Well, you obviously say the truth. I'm so tired of the all the like "X guy is 5-0 against Y guy"
Wtf? It's not a 1v1 competition. You don't win alone. You can make a team better, but at the end of the day it's team. And coaching. And 526 other things that can determine the success of lack of it.
But nooo, mostly Americans love their "X guy took this team by himself to finals" or "X guy is not it cause he can't get his team to play offs"
Wtf?! The whole discourse surrounding NBA is so ridiculous that it's actually unbearable. Honestly
@@dariusz_darson_8968
Idk if that mentality is “american”, but I agree otherwise
you sure? pretty sure I've heard people say messi or ronaldo carrying the whole team. dumb sports fans are everywhere bro, not just america @@Jonathan-A.C.
@@hadinuman6699
Yeah that’s what I’m saying
LeWhateverTheCaseMayBe James
This is an underrated comment
Bro is addicted to the phrase
Delete this shit instantly 😂
Lmfaooo the fact that it’s over zoom means there’s a slight delay and Bron repeating everything JJ says a split second delayed is even funnier than it is in person. I even think JJ realizes it mid sentence and chuckles 🤣🤣
What I love to hear is Bron giving players their flowers and what makes them great. Unbiased view from one of the games All Time Greats!
LeBron is actually pretty down to earth for being a billionaire. He always gives players their flowers
@dustincurtis8626 💯
N theres so many ppl that don't appreciate him.
Bron shows more love than MJ yet MJ is beloved by all and Bron is the most hated. Some things make no sense.
Shoutout to Stanley Johnson
This is the best piece of basketball media out there right now. I can only take so much of the punditry. I usually have it muted the last several years. I look forward to this. It's a breath of fresh air. Talking through the tactical elements and the overall strategic approaches. I live for it. Being able to put into words some of the things I see has been very satisfying. Appreciate it.
👍
Watching basketball games has just become that much more interesting. I've been watching games and seeing the various screens employed in the game that I saw explained in the podcast and it's been heavenly. JJ Reddick and Bron made basketball super fun to watch
Thinking basketball and awful coaching on CZcams if you want more stuff like this
I look forward to this podcast every week.
Facts, I love both of these guys
The only podcast I actually watch beginning to end. Amazing unbiased views of the game, and no media narratives
Shannon Sharpe night cap is really good
This is heavily stage-managed.
@@upfulsoul826you say that as if it takes away anything from the vid
@@upfulsoul826 and?
These bots coming don't even try to hide it anymore huh
Aye Bron if u see this…I seen yall was out there tryna play the right way and go hard on them dudes…salute
Salute😂😂😂 darvin ham gonna be missed
😂😂
lol bruh lebron really called how Minnesota is beating Denver, IQ high fr
No hate but that was pretty obvious the timberwolves are built to beat the nuggets they are similar to those 2020 lakers most people could have told u that.
Why couldn't he apply it on the court?
Probably because he doesn't have the personnel like The T wolves
I guess this time Lebron really did know 🤔
@@lamarlashley8738 personnel
As a Greek I can’t believe that you mentioned and acknowledged in this amazing podcasts one of the European Goats Vasilis Spanoulis 🇬🇷
thats so cool mann
He's the man! Archetypal shooter, amazing off-ball movement.
let's not overreact here. He is not even among TOP 20 Europeans. Jokic, Doncic, Peja, Drazen, Kukoc, Bodiroga, Divac, Teo, Gasol, Galis, Arvydas Sabonis, Porzingis, Dirk, Marciulionis, Giannis, Domantas Sabonis, Tony Parker, Dragic, Radja, AK-47, Bojan Bogdanovic, Marc Gasol, Kresimur Cosic, Lauri Markkanen, Joakim Noah...
@@AVAXIIDamn Lauri is European? Wtf lol
@@FeezFBaby Yes. Finland is in Europe.
These guys are basketball professors. Never knew the depths of the science behind basketball until listening to this podcast
Imagine: JJ and Rondo as coaches for the Lakers with LeBron’s basketball mind.. would love to see it!
That would be nice
Rondo I'm all in. JJ I don't think so, what makes him a good coach ? Can't compare those two when it comes to understanding of the game
Rondo was recently arrested ..
Agreed 👍🏿 , I’d like to see that too
That not gone change the fact Jokic be at Gloria James house all the time
JJ better not take lakers coaching job if offered bcoz this relationship is 🔥
I feel it be a player coach XO coach Lebron would be on floor and JJ making adjustments on sideline it could work
Throwing JJ into the biggest coaching job in the NBA as his first year as a coach is a bad idea for both parties.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Blackmagic_874agreed
@@Blackmagic_874Like Nash for the Nets lmfao
Dopamine levels gets sooo high when episodes gets released 😇
Pause lol
Bro pavloved himself for bronbron
I used to play football, I have knee pads from college I think you may need
@@dewdesi👎
dopamine controls
memory & motivation .. duh!
@@coldheartedbandit1955
you need to put your GOOFY self
on "pause" ..
The lakers should hire a defensive minded vet head coach, Reddick as the lead assistant coach for offense, a shooting expert coach, Phil handy as a development, Rondo as a guard coach, Jent as the centers’ coach, and Kevin Garnett for the player buy-in coach.
LOL, we can't have that much assistants. You must choose between Reddick or Jent, and Rondo or Garnett as player development coach.
And then where's the video coordinator? You must have that in the list
JJ says anything
Lebron : “yep”
grow up!!
YEP is commonly used in an informal setting,
when you agree to something .. duh!
Yep
@@OnewYork i dont think thats what the original comment was pointing out
Yup
JJ in 4K, Lebron streaming from that flip phone from 2004.
I appreciate this podcast so much! It inspired me to start making my own content. Thank you guys!!!
Yup
Best time of the week!!! Love this podcast
Yup
been waiting for this ep
my 60 yrs viewing experience is profoundly enriched. thank you.
Same here.. finally a real basketball convo without the ignorance on social media
The shots at Darvin ham @15:00 were so therapeutic to hear😂😂😂
15:45. 16:00
Crazy they want to blame that man. He did the best he could do with that sorry ahh roster
@@MoralesCorner clearly didn't watch full games. He deserved to be fired but who'll replace him?
@@MoralesCornerlmaooo sorry roster? Family they should’ve won atleast 52 games, they were far better than they appeared but the coaching was terrible, if u can’t see that? 🤷🏿♂️
@@MoralesCornerThere's zero excuse for not winning at least 50 games with that roster, any other coach would've beaten the Nuggets. Look at what the wolves are doing to the Nuggets with a good coach
They talking about what to do about Joker and Murray and MPJ…
Minnesota: hold my beer 🍺
lebron repeatedly saying.. denver is way better than lakers.. denver vs wolves is diff thing.
Minnesota’s roster was purposely constructed to counter Denver’s
Denver will win series
@@BobsbobssWe’ll see buddy. They look dead. Game 3 & 4 is very interesting. Especially game 3 on Fri💯💯💯
Yup
Throughly enjoy this thank you guys ❤
My fav eps so far 💯
A few episodes in and it still feels surreal that we can hear a playoff breakdown IN REAL TIME from two amazing basketball minds.
I was member of the board of the Lebron Haters Fan club, but he was already changing my mind over the last few years. This podcast is the straw that broke the haters back; I will resign this week .
I've listened to many podcasts, but I've never watched them as soon as they are released. I love what you guys are doing. Great show as always my dudes.
such appreciation for this podcast! next level ish!
Yup
Hardest working guy in NBA media!
15:29 bron lowkey talking about Darvin Ham ‼️😂😂 IFYKYK
Facts 😂
stop exaggerating
Throwing his former coach under the bus. Classy
@@realking4918as lebron should, darvin ham’s a goofy coach
exactly... darvin fed jackson Hayes in the post and said go make a move... wtf u doing jackson Hayes has no offense except being a lob threat
This Podcast is insanely good. Love this stuff. People want long form intelligent conversations.
Yep
🔥🔥🔥 this one is going up. Great show!
did u bring wine lol
Yup
this podcast is the coolest and chillest ever...great job bron and jj...❤
glad i found this podcast, Awesome
Hearing high IQ breakdowns of recent games is a basketball fans dream
This is becoming one of the best sports podcasts on the internet.
Yup
Best day of the week always great to here lebron and jj talk about basketball
Fake comments
Thank you so much for the shorter Condense intro explanation. Really enjoyed it. It doesn't take all night to get it right!!
This explains everything 👍 Love this episode 🔥👏👌
LeWhateverTheCaseMayBe
Everything is on point 🤯
Yup
we like these. keep up the good work
JJ asking "did you bring wine" is so me 😭😭
Hands down one of the best collabs on podcasts, like Ever!
What a great podcast this is, thanks king👑
Perfect Timing For This Episode
Awesome!!! Very therapeutic
Man every time an episode comes out and i hear them starting to wrap up I can't believe it's already been an hour. I wish each episode was 2 hours long.
bron is a very busy man
your show is one show that I will actually sit and watch the entire thing ... not even realizing it was an hour and my food needs to be warmed up again. Until now. This show works, even from different locations. It's still good. No worries on that one. Good edit with the footage playing too ... nice
Double screens with space. Anything getting you more time to set your shot is gonna help the results.
Can't help but learn from this podcast ...
(54:56) I would say any time you can get an open look, be it a 3, then sure as many as you can get, it's more points. But is has to be a clean look. Always or mostly favor the clean look if you can. Even looks better from a team point of view as well as highlights.
Cheers!! Nice show ...
Great show !!!🎉
Hey, really good and interesting podcast. Keep it on, guys.
I wanna ask you to add parts to every topic on the playtrack.
Thanks
easily my favorite episode yet
dropped during the night shift let’s gooooo
Jamal Murray watched this episode and remembered his role 😂
I love this show so much .. I'm nowhere near being a NBA player . BUT loving the game of basketball and understanding what they're talking about makes watching basketball so much better
This podcast is perfect for JJ Redick's resume to be a head coach.
Glad you guys made it work even if you couldn't be person together 🙏🏻
Yup
JJ keep up the great work. Enjoying every minute of these talks. It doesn’t even feel like im listening to a podcast.
this podcast is effing great and because of it i am watching the games with a different set of eyes, thank you both
This Is lowkey legendary
I swear this blog has been created for JJ to show and become a coach 😂
LOVE THIS
Love this!! What ever the case may be! I need a shirt that says that!
Fuck Stephen A Smith and the rest of the culture vultures on espn Bron thank u for everything u done for the game. My favorite player all time 🖤
Culture vultures? Tf are you talking about lmao it’s a sport calm down buddy
Culture vultures is insane thing to call Stephen A
He could have had a better choice of words but I get what you're trying to say... Stephen A knows if he uses Bron name he's going to get views.
Not better than MJ
@@nicholsdeshanfor him and a lot of people he is so cry 😭 about it lol 😂
Because of Spanoulis in World Cup 2006, Team USA went on the rampage in international basketball winning the Olympic title in '08, '12 and '16 and the World Cup in '10 and '14.
Every clip and episode is a feels like a gift to my basketball soul
Dope conversation
Yup
Let’s goooo playoff talk
Yup
Damn! LeCoach predicted so many Nuggets/Wolves plays correctly.
This the greatest basketball conversation ever. Appreciate you fellaz 👊
Jokic blitzing Ant is hilarious. 😂😂😂
I love basketball. I love this podcast even more.
For a long time, I had been thinking who truly was going to be the face of the league? Ja had a chance... but spurned it.
Well, now we know. Anthony Edwards is here.
it's been over a DECADE ..
we often wondered WHO would be next ..
we think it's gonna be WEMBY ..
@@OnewYork Who's "we"??
Why does it have to be an American? I doubt Ant every becomes the best player in the league. It’s Jokic now with Wemby coming next.
@@GoZags43I agree but Ant will be the most marketed
Are you guys watching the Playoffs? AE looks cut from the same cloth as MJ and Kobe. And has the athleticism that makes you watch every moment. Jokic, Luka and Wemby are great, fundamental basketballers, but from a marketing perspective and for the causal viewer, the jump out the screen type, AE is it.
These 7 episodes have been gold for someone who loves the game and wants to learn it in detail. I've learned so much about the game I love and I've been looking forward to watching basketball games, to see these plays implemented
I freaking love mind the game. Salute from Brasil, and a big thank you to all of you guys that are making it possible.
This was the best episode of the pod so far. Lebron seemed at his most relaxed and comfortable. At times in previous episodes, I felt like some of the playful banter was a little forced but it seemed much more natural this episode. The chemistry is evolving and the analysis was obviously top-notch💯
100%
I think it’s more he’s in his offseason space now. He can just kick back and speak on the game without planning for a series. But agreed the JJ relationship is also evolving as the series does.
Spanoulis mentioned🐐
Nah the beginning of this video. Beautiful vibes.
Great podcast. Level of authenticity is 💯
Can’t believe I sat down and watched a full podcast. Absolutely love this
Me too bruh now im recruiting my friends to watch with me with wine 😂😂😂😂😂
