Lakers' LeBron James Analyzes Luka Doncic's Game in 'Mind the Game' Trailer

The Los Angeles Lakers are considered an extremely dangerous team when the playoffs start now that they have Luka Doncic on the team. Ever since they traded for him, the Lakers have been trying to develop chemistry with him in the lineup.

Doncic gives the Lakers a top-five player in the league and someone who is one of the best offensive players in the NBA. He is someone who can single-handedly carry the offense for an entire game.

Adding Austin Reaves to the fold makes this Lakers team very hard to handle on offense. Defensively, they aren't the best. They just try to outscore teams, though.

James has started up his podcast again. Since JJ Redick was hired as the Lakers' coach, they haven't put out a single episode.

Now, James is doing the Mind the Game podcast with two-time MVP and former Nets head coach Steve Nash. Their first episode drops on Tuesday.

Ahead of that first episode, they released a clip that shows James and Nash talking about Doncic and how great of a player he is. When Nash asked James about what excited him about playing with Doncic, he gave an insightful answer.

Some guys just breathe confidence. Luka has that.

Episode 1 drops TOMORROW, 9am ET.

"Because he plays the game how I've always wanted to inspire the generation to play the game. There's nothing predetermined. If you have two guys on you, there's a numbers game. If you have the advantage, and if it's a guy that you know that can't guard you or you're able to beat him, or the guy traps the box or another guy sinks, I'm able to make the passes and make the reads before they happen."

James loves being able to play with a guy who sees the game the same way that he does. There aren't many basketball players alive who can.

Having both James and Doncic orchestrate the offense gives the Lakers a lot of confidence that they can make a deep run in the playoffs this season.

James is averaging 24.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game. Doncic is averaging 27.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game with the Lakers.
