Actor Timothée Chalamet is set to join LeBron James and Steve Nash for a live taping of the “Mind the Game” podcast next week in Los Angeles.
The special episode will be recorded immediately after a private screening of Chalamet’s film Marty Supreme, which chronicles ping-pong hopeful Marty Mauser. The movie debuted on December 25, 2025 and earned favorable reviews, particularly for Chalamet’s portrayal of Mauser.
“Mind the Game,” launched by James alongside former co-host JJ Redick and now steered by James and Nash, focuses on basketball strategy and has previously featured guest appearances from Luka Dončić and Tyrese Haliburton.
Chalamet, an avid basketball fan frequently spotted courtside at New York Knicks games, attended several 2025 NBA Playoff contests and was seen wearing a Kobe Bryant T-shirt during Game 5 of the Lakers–Timberwolves series. His Knicks allegiance is expected to be part of the conversation with James and Nash.
LeBron James’ Recent Milestone
The announcement follows James’ latest achievement on February 22, when the Lakers forward became the first NBA player to surpass 43,000 career points during a win over the Boston Celtics at Crypto.com Arena. James thanked fans and teammates for helping him reach the landmark.
No additional details about audience access or release timing for the Chalamet episode have been disclosed.
