Bronny James has faced significant scrutiny since choosing to follow in his father, LeBron James’ footsteps in the NBA. Being the son of a four-time NBA champion brings immense expectations, and over the years, Bronny has shown great courage in confronting these challenges.
The elder James has always been a vocal supporter of his son. He once again stood by him during a media session on Monday. When asked about Bronny’s experience with the Los Angeles Lakers so far, LeBron didn’t hesitate to remind everyone that his son is now a “grown man” and “professional.”
“You got to ask him. He’s a grown man; ask him how he’s handling it, and we’ll go from there. He’s a grown man; he’s a professional; he can handle it,” James said.
Bronny’s performance in recent preseason games has drawn attention. The Lakers rookie has averaged just 0.7 points, one rebound, and 0.3 assists per game over three contests.
