Summary
Mind the Game returns for its third season as hosts LeBron James and Steve Nash dive even deeper into the game they love. In this episode, LeBron and Steve imagine what it would be like if they were teammates in their primes. Then they get into what goes into LeBron's offseason at this age (spoiler... it's a lot of golf). Then the guys dive into their main subject of the episode which is, when two alphas must adapt to each other. Steve discusses playing with Amar'e Stoudemire and Dirk Nowtizki while LeBron talks about playing with Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. And finally, the guys dive deep into the Lakers upcoming season, what they expect and how impressed they've been with Luka Doncic in Euroleague.
