LeBron James takes another shot at Brian Windhorst via podcast

LeBron James really wants people to know that he is not friends with Brian Windhorst.

The ESPN personality Windhorst caught a stray this week from the social media page of James’ podcast “Mind the Game.” The podcast page posted a video promo to X on Tuesday that featured a roast of Windhorst.

Windhorst had previously made some comments on ESPN about the state of basketball analysis shows. While specifically referring to “Mind the Game,” Windhorst said that people were more interested in the drama side of basketball rather than pure Xs and Os analysis.

“When people talk about the game of basketball, they want to talk about the drama,” said Windhorst “If you do a full show that’s all Xs and Os, that’s not going to be any good either … If [LeBron] sits down with [‘Mind the Game’ co-host] Steve Nash and all he does is Xs and Os for an hour, people aren’t gonna like that either.”

“Mind the Game” posted a video of Windhorst’s comments and interspliced them with the listener statistics for their podcast as well as comments from users complimenting the podcast on its purely analytic style. Ultimately, the apparent point of the post was to puff their chests at Windhorst and show him that he was actually wrong.
