May 20th, today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired in the seventh episode of the second season, with James and home guest Nash talking about many topics.

Speaking of the important role of role players in championship teams, James said: "You can have some of the best championship journeys, and even some of the best moments in the history of the Finals, all the key goals that Horry scored, those that Derek Fisher scored, and Steve Cole, John Paxson, Ray Allen, I went through that shot firsthand. When you talk about players being the ultimate star level in their roles, they played the key ball, and the best thing is that they never jump out of their identity and style of play, and what they have dedicated to the team. We have experienced some highlights in NBA history, from some outstanding players, who have become stars in role players in those moments."
