LeBron on the Broken Streak and Why SGA is Even Better | MIND THE GAME

After 23 seasons in the game, LeBron James has put a lot of miles on his body. On the final 2025 episode of Mind The Game, LeBron recalls his assist and Rui Hachimura's buzzer beater vs. Toronto that inevitably snapped his 1,297 game 10+ point scoring streak, Steve asks LeBron about the most challenging part for him returning from injury, and the duo talks records.

They also go in-depth about Oklahoma City point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and dissect the reigning MVP and NBA champion’s style of play, his improved playmaking IQ and what makes him an even more lethal force on the court this season.
