LeBron James Talks About Bronny Handling Media Criticism With Pride

Bronny James may be a lock to be selected first overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, according to recent sources. Fans and his father, LeBron James, are eager to watch them play together on the floor. A lot of media attention has been directed towards the 19-year-old during the 2024 Draft Combine because of his well-known affiliation. During the “Mind the Game” podcast with JJ Redick, father LeBron James expressed his respect for his son’s media acumen.

He praised the child’s “mindset” of prioritizing winning plays above seeking out the highest honors. When he was 19 years old, LBJ acknowledged that his goals were to be on “All-Star Teams” and “win MVPs.”

Bronny‘s dream is to be a part of a successful system. In addition, the pleased father said that, unlike his kid, he “wouldn’t have been able to handle” the “media scrutiny” at his age.

The 39-year-old disclosed how, much to their satisfaction, he and his wife Savannah James have always urged Bronny “to set an example” for his younger siblings. Bronny has always complied. LBJ responded hilariously to Redick’s joke about the “media getting a week’s worth of content” because to Bronny James.

The all-time leading scorer in NBA history recounted turning down an interview when he went to see the Cleveland Cavaliers play the Boston Celtics at home during the playoffs. The media now anticipated that his son would furnish the content chain. LeBron said,

“I think they said, ‘You know well, since your dad is not in the playoffs no more, we are gonna ride your coattails, we can’t get your dad to say anything’,

Bronny James has demonstrated a talent for slaying media appearances, but he has also steadily developed an outstanding draft profile. Has he demonstrated enough to be called upon for the 2024 Draft Night?
