They have kept their relationship relatively private, but now and then, they share sweet moments together on social media.
Bronny James vows to continue working on his game in the offseason
Bronny James vows to continue working on his game in preparation for his second year in the NBA. Highly scrutinized in his rookie season as he played alongside his NBA superstar father, LeBron James, with the LA Lakers, Bronny said work continues for him to further prove his worth as a player.
In an interview with Fox Sports after their season ended, the former USC player opened up about his rookie season and his plans moving forward.
Bronny James said:
"I was under a lot of pressure. It was getting to me a little bit... Working is a distraction from everything. I love just coming into the gym and working and talking to my coaches and watching film. All of the stuff that can help me get better every day. It’s a distraction from all of that stuff. So, just going to continue to do that and see where it takes me. It’s going good so far.”
Bronny was selected 55th overall by the Lakers in the 2024 NBA draft after playing one collegiate season at USC. His selection, however, was met with a lot of criticism, with people looking at it as just a favor for his dad.
He saw limited minutes in his rookie campaign as he split time with the Lakers and their G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers. He averaged 2.3 points on 31.3% shooting in 27 games.
