LeBron James on His Favorite LEAP Players of the Season

There’s no better way to tip off the New Year than with a new episode. LeBron James and Steve Nash return to pick up where they left off, diving deep into the details that decide games. The two discuss the late-game philosophy on fouling up three, which players have truly taken the leap this season, and how NBA defensive schemes have evolved over time. The guys also break down the chess match behind today’s game — including the most effective sets to attack drop coverage and why they work. LeBron shouts out Philadelphia 76ers' PG Tyrese Maxey and Atlanta Hawks' PF Jalen Johnson while Steve shows love to Portland Trail Blazers' big man Deni Avdija and San Antonio Spurs' young star Stephon Castle.
