Today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired in the tenth episode of the second season, with James and host Nash talking about many topics.

Speaking of the Thunder's defensive strength, James said: "They have the ability to send out two mobile inside players, and they also have the ability to line up a small lineup, a super fast, super destructive and super agile lineup. You have seen this many times. Gobert and Jokic are so tall that they can still grab offensive rebounds, and they are raiding like bee swarms. The players jump from behind to grab the board, reach out to cut the ball from below. Once they cut off the ball and then attack with all their strength, that is how they play. When you make a mistake in the face of the Thunder, the opponent either completes a layup or dunks. They are not afraid of their size. They have Hound-style players, and they also have ball dealers."
