It seems like Magic Johnson has had a change of heart when it comes to Bronny James and his potential in the NBA. The basketball legend, known for his incredible skills and knowledge of the game, has always been critical of young players making their way into the league. But this time, he’s singing a different tune.
In a tweet on X, Magic made it clear that Bronny is going to be a good player in the NBA. He wrote;
“Laker Nation, I have to tell you Bronny James is going to be a really good basketball player! Last night, he showed he has a few things you simply can’t teach-high basketball IQ, athleticism, and a competitive spirit that makes him a tenacious defender! I believe after a lot of hard work this season, he’ll definitely be in the Lakers’ rotation and playing heavy minutes.”
Johnson also compared Bronny to players like Alex Caruso and Austin Reaves, who developed into key players after being overlooked. He remarked, “Basketball fans, Bronny James is in good hands with the Lakers, who are great with developing talent. Two names that I can name recently that I’ve seen firsthand are Alex Caruso and Austin Reaves, who both are starters in the league today. Bronny will be next.”
Being LeBron James’ son brings high expectations, but Johnson thinks this can help Bronny. With LeBron’s guidance and the Lakers’ development program, Bronny has a chance to succeed. Johnson acknowledged that Bronny might need time, saying, “If I’m Bronny, I would tell my dad just let me play in the G-League all season so that I can develop. He needs playing time. He doesn’t need to be sitting on the Laker bench and not playing.”
So, there you have it – Magic Johnson’s surprise change of stance on Bronny James’ NBA potential. Whether or not Bronny lives up to the expectations is yet to be seen, but with Magic’s endorsement, it’s safe to say that the young star’s future is looking incredibly promising. The NBA better watch out because Bronny James is coming, and he’s ready to thrive.
