0:00.0	You're about to hear a clip from my new podcast with LeBron James called Mind the Game.
0:08.0	Subscribe on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast. There's a lot of things, other things I would do in basketball too, like it's a couple other
0:19.2	things I would do in basketball too, like it's a couple other coverages I would do. The pick-the-picker B-O-B, not bombs over Baghdad, but baseline out of bounds.
0:29.8	America's play. Yeah, America's play. You have the guard, you have the best shooter sitting in the middle of the lane.
0:34.5	You have the biggest wing sitting at the top.
0:37.2	Yep. Five is on the strong side. You have the point guard taking it out.
0:41.0	Yeah. And then the weak side corner is the guy. Yeah. In the week side corner.
0:43.0	Yeah.
0:44.0	It's not many times that the guy, the wing, that's coming down the middle gets that pass.
0:49.4	Because in theory, if you're guarding the ball, 1,000 to 1,000, take away the basket and then jump out, right, to take away the shot.
0:58.0	The guy that's guarding the ball when he says 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 1,000, 3, 1,000,
1:05.0	why doesn't he just take the guard that's coming out for the pick the picker
1:09.2	and the guard that's guarding the pick the picker guy just falls right to the guy that's taking the ball out.
1:14.6	Yeah. You go 1,000 to 1,000. J.J. Reddick is flying off, left right, where you know he's dangerous.
1:22.8	He can shoot straight up and down if he wants to, or he's going to fade if he wants to as well,
1:26.7	maybe kick you.
1:28.0	It's my natural shoot motion.
1:31.0	It's my natural shoot motion. I'm guarding the ball. I just take JJ and the guard who was chasing you just falls right to the to the to the guy who's taking the ball out.
1:41.0	That's one. It's not, we could talk about the other.
1:43.2	So, no, so what's interesting about that? I like that. I'll tell you why. Because someone who ran that play, right?
1:49.8	So whether I slipped or set the screen, I coming off a lot of teams after 2-1,000 would
1:56.4	send the guy guarding the take-out guy they'd send him to me. The problem is my guy is still chasing me. So what happens? I get the ball. I don't have a shot because now I got two guys at me. It's a quick pass back to the inbounder. He gets a a lay- So don't chase you.
