Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James’s newest addition to his off-court portfolio arrived on Tuesday with the debut of his and Mind the Game podcast with former NBA guard-turned-ESPN personality JJ Redick. The duo teamed up for the venture, and while there were a number of noteworthy talking points in episode one, the insight from James on the rival Boston Celtics was noteworthy.
Specifically, James offered exceptionally high praise for Boston’s star forward Jayson Tatum. James praised Tatum’s “elite” ability to win games consistently, citing that at age 25, he’s already made four conference finals and one trip to the NBA Finals.
James then hit a few former Celtics with a bit of a stray, mentioning that “personnel helps” while giving a candid evaluation of his thoughts on the Celtics’ trade for Jrue Holiday.
