11月3日，24直播网报道，近期，勒布朗·詹姆斯与史蒂夫·纳什在《Mind the Game》的最新播客中进行了交流，他们深入探讨了运动员对自己角色定位的理解，并对保罗·乔治关于争夺冠军球队角色的观点进行了讨论。
纳什强调，乔治在数年前便有过一番见解，他认为若欲夺取总冠军，个人就不能成为队内最出色的球员。换句话说，他必须定位为球队的第二位关键球员或是1A。这种自我认识，纳什认为，常被世人忽视，实则价值非凡。
"James commented, 'I believe that such self-awareness is lacking not only in the realm of sports but also in life. It's not to suggest that George lacks the capability to emerge as the team's top performer or to contribute significantly to securing a couple of championship titles. Rather, he has the discernment to understand that at this juncture of his career, if he were to be the player with the highest possession rate or if every shot were to be his responsibility, with all the burden falling on his shoulders, he doesn't think that would be the most effective strategy for securing a championship. I think it is praiseworthy for anyone to possess such self-awareness. George deserves our admiration.'"
自幼起，我们便被告知，运动员应当隐藏自己的脆弱。尤其在当今社会，若有人坦言“我无法完成此事，我需要支援”，往往会遭受指责。我个人便有过此类遭遇。
