Everyone’s talking about the LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith drama—but no one’s talking about the life-changing wisdom LeBron quietly dropped in his Pat McAfee interview.


In this episode of Broken Traditions, I break down a powerful moment where LeBron James reflects on not wanting to mess up the rare opportunity he was given. This isn’t about sports. This is about life, focus, and breaking away from self-sabotage.


If you’ve ever fumbled a bag, doubted your worth, or felt like opportunities pass you by—this is for you.
