It is the week of the King! If coming back to the court against the Bulls earlier this week after 7 games out, though on a losing cause, was one, then wait for the bombshell to drop! The most recent return is the comeback of LeBron James’ podcast Mind The Game, which will premiere this April. And what better a day to choose than April Fool’s Day? Jokes aside, and every context to be on a serious note, the Lakers legend will sit with someone special this time, and it is not Lakers head coach JJ Redick this time. Any guesses? As teased, it is Steve Nash this time, and fans can’t keep calm anymore.
The fans went berserk. This was announced earlier today on Instagram. Imagine refreshing your feed and you see the Canadian coach and the LeBron James sitting next to each other, sipping on a glass of wine. Anyone would break their phone in excitement. And if not their mobiles, at least the comments section of that Instagram post.
But there’s less chatter about Nash’s introduction, and more about JJ Redick being the next victim in an unsettling pattern. Let’s rewind time to the playoff season in 2024. First round of the West, Nuggets vs Lakers. The head coach of the Showtime, Darvin Ham, was already on the hot seat, speculated to be getting the boot soon. Bron then decides to start a podcast with Redick, one of the prime candidates to replace Ham for the role.
