6/4/2025I loved hearing more about Luka's foundation, the athletes council, and the study on youth basketball. I hope they are able to come up with a solution that keeps kids engaged in sports.

6/4/2025I love this real talk about youth/HS sport-specialization. Burn out is so real, so are coaches after the wrong things. We need America's parents and naive athletes to hear this from you all. Play multiple sports and play outside!
@cofederi
6/4/2025Great conversation, analysis, and POVs from the best of the best. Bringing Luka gives a fresh perspective on what this generation is living through. I've been watching the NBA for 30 years and never had insights like this! Keep it up!

@64ARMYNZ
6/4/2025I hope that ESPN and all other talk shows get removed until they are ready to speak without drama or narrative and just speak straight game and wish the success of the athletes whilst teaching the audience the x’s and o’s. <br><br>Mind the game podcast 🤝🏾

6/3/2025Lebron's longevity is astonishing.
@bigamg515
6/3/2025Luka Has all the athletic abilities and talents as his mother but has the health conditions and plumber built body like his father that's the issue 😂😂. If he had two parents who was both elite in shape athletes he would had been good. Whom ever Lebron real father was he probably was athletic like a MF running from the laws 😂😂.
