Overview

  • Mind the Game confirmed that Stephen Curry will appear this week, with a teaser showing LeBron James introducing the episode.
  • In the clip, James says some players “still have an advantage no matter what you do,” a nod to Curry that reflects their mutual respect after years of high-profile battles and a recent Team USA partnership.
  • The podcast, co-hosted by James and Steve Nash, is known for in-depth discussion of basketball strategy and storytelling, setting expectations for a high-IQ conversation.
  • The Warriors are 4-3 after consecutive losses, including to an injury-depleted Pacers team, and Steve Kerr criticized the team’s focus as Curry endured his worst shooting night of the season with five turnovers for a second straight game.
  • James has yet to play this season due to a sciatic issue and will reach a record 23rd active NBA season upon his return, as fans on social media welcomed the podcast crossover.
