LeBron Opens Up About His Prime and the Rise of Austin Reaves | MIND THE GAME

If you could ask two basketball legends any question, what would it be? LeBron James and Steve Nash are back for another episode of Mind The Game where they opened up the floor for fans’ questions.

As always, the guys gave in-depth and insightful responses — what year was the peak of their careers, which skill set would they take from each other’s games, Steve’s challenges as a head coach, and does mastering the midrange matter in the postseason? As well as special shoutouts to Derrick Rose, Austin Reaves, and Steven Adams.
