LeBron on Fitting in with Luka, Bronny's Development and JJ Redick's Culture

There’s never a bad time to talk ball, especially with a holiday full of hoops. We're dropping in with a special gift episode where LeBron James and Steve Nash discuss LeBron’s time rehabbing in the G-League with the South Bay Lakers, how the offseason’s acquisitions of Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and Deandre Ayton are making a huge impact, Bronny James finding his footing in the NBA, and how Lakers head coach JJ Redick is the shaping the teams' culture in his image.

James and Nash also go in-depth on trending NBA topics — what makes Nikola Jokic the most complete offensive player ever, how Erik Spoelstra has revolutionized the Miami Heat's offense again, and why less guys play 1-on-1 after practice.

Presented by UNINTERRUPTED and Wondery.
