  • Welcome to Episode 6 of Mind the Game with LeBron James and JJ Redick. This episode was recorded a few weeks and it's our favorite one yet. Here we discuss the evolution of shooting in the NBA and how it's completely changed the way basketball is played. First we discuss how purpose of the modern NBA offense is to put two on the ball and the best players at doing that (Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, James Harden). Then the guys dig into early shot clock three-pointers and self created three-pointers like step-back threes and how those have also expanded the modern NBA offense. Which leads us into how difficult it is for defenses today to stop these offenses covering so much space. And finally, JJ and LeBron tough on the catch-and-shoot three-pointers and play a thought experiment where LeBron has to draw up his favorite ATOs for JJ - plays like "Victory", "Oklahoma", and "Clippers Down."
    Again this is one of the nerdiest episodes of Mind the Game we'll ever do and we can't wait for you all to see it!

    One thing I can think to improve even more is that after JJ explains a play at the start to play a clip of an NBA game example, I feel like that would make it much easier to understand and remember
    EDIT: I know they already doing that when he's talking with LeBron. I meant at the start when he's explaining the terms, it would be easier to memorize and visualize seeing an actual example right after instead of being shown much later on in the video

      Yeah after a bs suspension and ejection. Followed by 2 more finals losses. Then a couple sweeps and first round exits. Y’all can have that little 3-1 run. Which actually isn’t that big of an accomplishment. So many teams have been up 2-0 then lose 4 games in a row compared to 3 in a row with 3-1

      It was a huge comeback, but GSW with their full 5 was basically an unstoppable team. Partly because their team work and cohesion was on another level.

    This is cause and effect basketball. Too many players in the league think athletic ability trumps everything so they refuse to think the game thru. I was a victim of this early on in my football days. You’ll see DBs getting burned because they take the bait not realizing they are being played the whole time. The moment you bring your brain to the game everything changes.

      At the highest level it’s more about the mental than physical. All the players are talented and skilled. The mental is what sets you apart because the athleticism is about the same. It doesn’t work being the best athlete.

    Not sure if you'd consider a Q&A section but here's two:

    2. How are play calls shared without telling the the other team? Particularly in the playoffs where they likely have studied your sets

  • @TheEverydayBaller

    Loveeee the hammer play. There's been many occasions where the low man on the side where the shooter will eventually receive the ball, they don't call out that back screen so that shooter's defender is blindsided by that. I remember being at a Raptors Coaches clinic where the Raptors ran exclusively this hammer action for like 5 mins straight.
    I really appreciate this pod and the insight. It really opens things up in terms of how we see the game and that's regardless of what level anyone plays at.
    Amazing stuff.

    God dang Bron is smart as hell!!
    We’ve always known since high school he was a team first type of player always working for the best shot and getting teammates involved. But his intellect is on a whole different level and how he’s able to process other teams off the way he does! Did y’all see how easily he went through what Golden State runs, like it was no big deal? Even though it’s toward the end of his career, he continues to amaze me more and more. And this is coming from an “MJ is The GOAT” NBA fan here! His Intellect and bball acumen/IQ, is out of this world. Impressive! As much as MJ was my idol growing up as a little kid and will always be my number one, I have to even admit he definitely was smarter than Michael, which is really saying something because Michael was smart as hell as well. Just not on LeBron‘s level Though.
    This is definitely my favorite podcast!

      The thing about those strategies, they only worked if u had one guy who could keep up with scoring but mainly could lockdown all 5 positions like Shawn Marion did.
