Coming up on this episode of Mind the Game.

Can I just take a moment to talk about Nicola Yolkich making a joke out of the NBA every night? Let me ask you this. Is he the best offensive player you've ever played against? Wow, that's a tough question right there, Steve. How do you feel about fitting back into this Lakers' offense? Well, you got a great point guard like Luca, who creates so many eyes around him.

You know, one of the best things I can do is, you know,

slash in from that 45 degree.

And what about Brownie?

I was just super proud of him of the maturation process.

What can you tell me about JJ's culture?

He's going to tell you exactly how he feel if you're not doing it right,

but it's going to be in a very stern but loving way

let's take a look at this Miami heat offense yeah basically they're creating a funnel so the guy

comes down they're keeping the elbows wide open and he's got the first opportunity to attack

a defender who's retreating and help that's running back and just to go one-on-one without a screen

I got to see it firsthand of how fast that they're playing and the pick-a-rolless,

you know, style of basketball that they're playing.

And it takes a while for you to kind of get adjusted to it.

Usually it's like a really good team try something.

It works because they're a really good team.

Oh yeah.

And everyone else like...

I mean, I remember back in the day, like late 90s, everyone trying the people trying to

triangle, yeah.

The triangle, yeah.
