Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James does well for himself on and off the court as he’s been able to parlay his NBA career into several media ventures that have grown into successful businesses.
For example, the new wave of athlete-hosted podcasts has produced endless hours of entertaining content and James has done well for himself with his “Mind the Game” podcast. The podcast initially featured James and Lakers head coach JJ Redick, but Steve Nash replaced the latter once he joined the sidelines.
“Mind the Game” does a great job of breaking down the finer points of basketball from a strategy and scheme perspective to X’s and O’s. The program has also had several high-profile guests such as Luka Doncic and Tyrese Haliburton.
Now, the podcast is getting another celebrity guest as Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet will be joining James and Nash for a special live recording next week, via the official Marty Supreme X account:

The taping will occur after a special screening of Chalamet’s film “Marty Supreme,” which explores the life of Marty Mauser who chased after ping pong greatness. The film initially premiered on Dec. 25, 2025 and received positive reviews from critics, particularly for Chalamet’s portrayal of Mauser. Prior to his role in “Marty Supreme,” Chalamet rose to fame after starring in the blockbuster “Dune” films as well as other works such as “Wonka” and “A Complete Unknown.”
Like a lot of other celebrities, Chalamet is an avid basketball fan who was seen at several games during the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Chalamet even took in Game 5 between the Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves wearing a Kobe Bryant T-shirt, much to the joy of the purple and gold faithful.
However, Chalamet is a die-hard New York Knicks fan who can often be seen courtside so he’ll likely have a lot to say about his favorite team when he sits down with James and Nash. For fans of Chalamet and basketball, the episode will surely have plenty of fun insights and conversations.
