LeBron James brings out his overprotective side with son Bronny and responds to the media

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is very clear about the attention placed on his son Bronny by the media after James left the NBA playoffs very early and declined an interview at the Cavs game.

Even the NBAlegend knows that his son at just 19 years old has a strong mentality to be able to face the media all the time. “Me and Savannah talk about it all the time.” “How proud we are of our kids.”

LeBron James addresses media issue about his son

During an appearance on his “Mind The Game” podcast, co-hosted with JJ Redick, LeBron James directly criticized the media.

“I think they said since your dad’s not in the playoffs no more, you know what, we’re gonna ride your coattail, Bronny James.”

“We can’t get your dad to say anything right now, he declined an interview at the Cavs’ game … So we’re gonna use your son.”

James knows his son is in the spotlight, but he also knows he has a strong mentality to deal with them and either way LeBron is present and on the lookout for any support his son Bronny needs.

LeBron James has been involved in discussions surrounding Bronny James during his participation in the draft combine, as rumors point to the possibility that father and son could join on the same team. The Lakers are one of the teams mentioned, among other contenders, that could desire James’ signature in the offseason, as he is an unrestricted free agent.

As Bronny James navigates his future, the sports world is watching closely to see if he will make it to the NBA alongside his father or start his own path and begin to create his legacy on the court.
