February 28, 2024, was a terrible day for Clippers supporters, but a fantastic one for Lakers fans. It was the day LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from behind to defeat the Clippers by 21 points in the fourth quarter, a moment James recalls well.
During the inaugural episode of LeBron’s new podcast with JJ Redick, the Mind the Game Pod, James disclosed previously unknown insights of the Lakers’ amazing comeback against the Clippers.
After hitting two three-pointers in a row and nearly cutting the deficit in half, LeBron requested a heat check. As soon as he landed the heat check, LeBron knew the Clippers’ dominoes would fall.
Moments like this may look random on the floor, but LeBron’s details demonstrate how deliberate things can be. Few players in NBA history have LeBron James’ basketball IQ, and this new podcast will be a godsend to those who value it.
