Why the Mid-Range Matters So Much in the Playoffs

Whoever said the mid-range jump shot is dead doesn’t truly know basketball. In Episode 6, LeBron James and Steve Nash explain their point on view of why the mid-range is one of the most important shots in basketball and how that makes players an even bigger threat on the court, especially in the playoffs. James and Nash also explain how players like James Harden, Jrue Holiday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Nikola Jokic are able to affect the game by being three-level scorers. James also goes into full detail about why having the right mindset goes a long way and how he navigated criticism early in his career for having a team-first approach in late-game situations.
