## Resource

Welcome back to Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash. This week we are talking NBA Awards, specifically the MVP. First, Steve talks to LeBron about the chemistry between Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and the rest of the Lakers roster prior to the injuries of their two big stars. They also talk about LeBron breaking the record for most wins by any NBA player ever. Then we get into the MVP conversation, doing a deep dive into the candidates, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic and why each guy has a legit case.
