  • Great to hear from LeBron, but Steve Nash is bad

    Hearing lebrons stories and how his mind works is super insightful. It’s something anyone a fan of basketball would love to listen to. The problem is Steve Nash. He adds nothing to the podcast and his chemistry with LeBron is non existent when you look at how great of a job jj reddick did. Nash needs to be replaced.
