About this episode
The modern NBA playmaker looks like a little of things in 2025. They can be a smaller guard like Jalen Brunson or a bigger center like Nikola Jokic. But it wasn't always like that. In the past, the scorer and the passer were two different positions assigned by specific NBA archetypes. In this episode of Mind the Game, we explore this evolution and the role LeBron James and other superstars played in the evolution of the modern NBA playermaker.
