LeBron James, the star player for the Los Angeles Lakers, has done a lot of things outside of basketball during his NBA career. After producing movies and TV shows and acting, he can now add a podcaster to his list of things he has done.

James started working on his new project this week with J.J. Redick, a former NBA guard. They are the hosts of the Mind The Game Pod, which will have new episodes every week that talk about a lot of different subjects.

Basketball will, of course, be talked about a lot in these shows. It was great how in-depth they went into different plays and schemes in the first show. It gave people a new way to think about how things work on the court.

The Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum was another thing that was talked about. Tatum is one of the players who could become the face of the NBA as soon as the current group of older stars decide to shut down their careers.

During the show, James said a lot of nice things about the Celtics star. They talked about how long it took him and some other all-time greats to win a title. James thinks that some of the hate Tatum gets is unfair.

“I believe he has been to the conference finals four times and the NBA finals once. He is 25 years old.” He’s 25. I wasn’t 28 when I won my first one. I believe Joker got his first one when he was 27 years old. I believe MJ was also 28… Although I believe we have high hopes for JT, he has already won a lot of games in his career. “Of course, everyone wants him to win, but making it to four conference finals and finals before he turns 26 is pretty amazing,” James told Redick.

With Tatum on the team, the Celtics have had a lot of success. As a player, they’ve made the NBA Playoffs all six years, and this will be their seventh time. He has already been to the NBA Finals once and has been to the Eastern Conference Finals four times.

That’s how this season feels: Tatum and the Celtics have to win or go home. They have been the best team in the NBA all season. With a record of 54-14, they are 10 games ahead of second place in the Eastern Conference. With 48 wins, the Denver Nuggets, who are the reigning champion, are the closest team.

The odds are very good that this team will win the title. Some of what James said is true, but after the moves made to improve the team during the NBA summer in 2023, anything less than winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy in June would be seen as a letdown.
