Stephen A. Smith claims LeBron James is ‘slick’ by starting own podcast with ESPN colleague JJ Redick

Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James and JJ Redick

With a surge in new podcasts every other day, LeBron James has partnered with JJ Redick to launch his own talk show. The ‘Mind the Game’ podcast has already released its first episode. While Redick does have a podcast of his own, called ‘The Old Man and the Three’, he’ll also join James on the other show.

To have one of the greatest players of all time talk about the game is a podcast truly worth watching. This move by James came out of the blue, as fans wouldn’t have expected the ‘King’ to have a podcast of his own. Stephen A. Smith, on the other hand, was rather impressed by the idea of it. Not only that, but he went on to praise James for the same.

LeBron James was a little bit slick here too, brilliantly slick, I might add. Because he could've had that conversation on Uninterrupted. He could've been talking to Maverick Carter. He could've been talking to Rich Paul... But he chose to do this with JJ Redick... To have a voice like that, serves LeBron in a multitude of ways.

JJ Redick has been in the media industry for quite a while. His podcast has over a million subscribers on YouTube, while he is also active on ABC and ESPN.
