## Resource

Welcome to Part 2 of our very special episode of Mind the Game with LeBron James and guest co-host Tyrese Haliburton. In this episode, Tyrese and LeBron talk about the amazing 2025 Indiana Pacers playoff run, the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder and of course Tyrese’s devastating injury in Game 7. Then the guys get into the lazy ‘overrated’ narrative that surrounds Tyrese and what it’s like being a villain in the NBA. And finally, the guys get into the teams that have been influenced by the Indiana Pacers including The Boston Celtics and the Phoenix Suns. Thanks for watching Mind the Game.
