I would assume it would be unbelievable as I am a fan of both of their games.
Yeah, this is for students of the game, though. LeBron and Nash are legends. And on Mind the Game, they get into the X's and O's and tactical breakdowns that really help you appreciate the game.

**Travis Kelce** (0:34)
I mean, when LeBron James is breaking down plays, you're talking strategy with Steve Nash, you're going to get deep into the brains of two actual basketball geniuses. So it's, I mean, it's pretty much a master class in basketball.

**Stephen Curry** (1:40)
We're doing this way, and we're this way.

**Steve Nash** (1:43)
Thank you for doing this. It's our first official golf podcast.

**LeBron James** (1:48)
Yeah, they heard Mind the Game, and they thought the game was basketball today. It was actually not Mind the Game.

**Steve Nash** (1:55)
I was watching the, uh, Bryson DeChambeau.

**Stephen Curry** (1:59)
Oh, the Break of 50?

**Steve Nash** (2:00)
Break of 50
I mean, I knew you were good. I was losing my mind. I only watched half. You matched him.

**LeBron James** (2:08)
I watched the whole thing.

**Steve Nash** (2:09)
I mean, that's being kind.

**Stephen Curry** (2:10)
As you can, my first shot, I lost my mind too. There's like a little small gallery behind.

**Steve Nash** (2:16)
Oh, there was.

**Stephen Curry** (2:17)
That was following us. And so I knew the whole concept. I knew it was Bryson's a week before the Ryder Cup. I'm like, all right, this is go time. And it's the best, I think, best golf I've played in my life.

**LeBron James** (2:28)
And it's so funny.

**Stephen Curry** (2:29)
I was watching one of the hoes.

**LeBron James** (2:30)
I don't know what ho was. And he was like, I'm going to give it a little grunt.
One of his drives and he got him on the drive. And you can, Bryson, obviously, this is what he does. Like this, he's one of the best in the world. When they got up to the ball, he was like, I think that's your ball. He was like, oh, man, I out drove him. Like it was crazy.

**Stephen Curry** (2:52)
He didn't want to give it to me.

**LeBron James** (2:53)
I think one of the good parts, too, that I was watching, too, and you was, I think Bryson asked you a question like, like, who's your inspirations? Like, you know, obviously, you know, in the game that we all, oh, yeah, you know, you, you mentioned Steve and you mentioned Reggie, you know, and obviously Reggie makes so much sense and it's terrifying to competitors like myself and all the competition over the years. How did that, what made you kind of watch those guys from the beginning?
You know, it's funny that I'm sitting across and talking about my life.

**Stephen Curry** (3:24)
So that's, I mean, we all got history in the game, playing against each other and the whole deal. But my rookie year, we played in a preseason game outside in Palm Springs. Like, in Indian Wells, Tennessee. Yeah, in the Indian Wells. It was my first time like actually seeing them, you know, on the court and to the point of inspiration.

**Steve Nash** (3:44)
Super intimidated.

**Stephen Curry** (3:46)
Just seeing him across. I still do some of your, when you're in the starting line or the national anthem of the line, like you just do like the little leg stuff, but I still do it. I still do it.
