"Mind the Game," the weekly podcast series hosted by basketball legends LeBron James and Steve Nash, has made its debut, and the two are already covering the topics everybody wants to hear.

This third season continues the show's mission of getting back to the game we love by dissecting X’s and O’s, highlighting the work that goes into being an NBA great, and celebrating the beautiful game of basketball, but that's not all, either. 

With the season 3 return also comes the Amazon Music and Mind the Game exclusive merch collection, which features a versatile range of essentials from sleek tees and comfortable shorts to cozy hoodies and a statement jacket. This collaboration further extends the show’s reach to build deeper connections and expand fan engagement across content and commerce.

In the season debut, James and Nash covered several topics, including skinny Luka and the "new Lakers." Of this "new Luka," so to speak, James said, "He looks a little bit quicker...a little more functional, but more importantly, I think what a lot of people will [not] see is the recovery now. When your body is top-tier shape and you feel so much better...it's not like Luka's game is going to change. I think for him personally, he's going to see how he wakes the next day after three or four nights and be like 'Oh man!'

Mind the Game offers a one-of-a-kind insight into the world of basketball by examining the game, the players, and overall basketball culture, as well as offering in-depth interviews with NBA stars.   The duo of LeBron and Steve Nash provides a unique way for basketball fans to connect with the sport while seeing more of their favorite sports personalities off the court. Previous guests of the series include NBA players Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic.

The show is produced by Uninterrupted, the award-winning athlete storytelling brand within Fulwell Entertainment, founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
