Lebron and Bronny James

Many people questioned the decision of Bronny James when he declared for the NBA draft. However, they might be regretting the criticism already as Bronny’s reputation has been drastically changed by the combine in Chicago, not only with his peers but also with NBA teams. In drills, the 19-year-old excelled.

In his second scrimmage, he was full of energy and led his team in scoring. His dad was in the stands, looking on with pride. Bronny didn’t look fazed or showboated even with LeBron in the stands.

But I didn’t have, you know, every single day, around the clock, news coverage, sports shows things of talking about this particular person every single day.”
