We’re back with a new episode of Mind the Game... with a twist. While Steve Nash is busy covering NBA games in Europe, Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton steps in as guest co-host alongside LeBron James.
Tyrese and LeBron dive into everything hoops, from how Bron keeps performing at an elite level at age 41 to their Team USA experience in Paris where they faced Nikola Jokić and a stacked Serbia team. Tyrese also shares an update on his rehab journey and how players like Payton Pritchard and Austin Reaves are motivating him, why Indiana’s style of play is tailored for today’s era, how he and Buddy Hield established their place on the Pacers together, and how losing the in-season tournament against the Lakers was a blessing in disguise for the Pacers who went on to acquire Pascal Siakam.
Presented by UNINTERRUPTED and Wondery.
