Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is venturing into the podcast world with a new project called Mind the Game, in collaboration with former NBA star JJ Redick. What sets this sports podcast apart is its lack of advertisers and media partners at this time, allowing for an unfiltered and authentic discussion about basketball.
Episodes of Mind the Game will be released weekly on YouTube and various podcast platforms every Tuesday at 7 a.m. eastern time. The podcast is being produced by James' Uninterrupted and Redick's ThreeFourTwo Productions, ensuring a high-quality production value.
James and Redick's friendship blossomed during the NBA in-season tournament, where they both expressed a desire to create a podcast that focuses on on-court action without external influences. The podcast promises to be free-flowing and unscripted, providing fans with a unique perspective on the game.
The debut episode of Mind the Game features James and Redick engaging in a casual conversation over glasses of wine, delving into basketball strategy and insights. Both James and Redick have established successful media careers outside of basketball, with James involved in film production, including the upcoming NBA docuseries for Netflix, and Redick's ThreeFourTwo Productions producing popular podcasts like The Old Man and the Three.
With plans already in motion for future episodes, Mind the Game is poised to become a must-listen for basketball enthusiasts looking for an inside look at the sport from two NBA legends. Fans can catch a sneak peek of the podcast by watching the first clip released by LeBron James and JJ Redick.
