LeBron James on Bronny James going through pre-draft process: 'I'm super proud of him'
When discussing how his son has gone through the pre-draft process on his “Mind the Game” podcast with JJ Redick, LeBron couldn’t help but be proud of Bronny for the maturity he has shown: “I didn’t have social media to deal with when I came in at 18. I did have a lot of scrutiny, I did have a lot of things that was put on my shoulders. But I didn’t have every single day, around the clock news coverage, sports shows, things are talking about this particular person every single day. Or you go online or on social media and X and Instagram and everyone can comment every single day about whatever they want to say. I didn’t have to deal with that and to see him handle it with such class and just self awareness and just staying even keeled is just a remarkable thing, man. Super proud of him, me and Savannah talk about it all the time, how proud we are of our kids and he’s the oldest. We always told him from day one, listen, you have to set an example for your brother, your little sister and he continues to do that.”

03 (LeBron)
07 (KD)
09 (Steph)
11 (Kawhi)
12 (AD)
13 (Giannis)
14 (Jokic)
15 (Book)
16 (Domas)
17 (Tatum)
18 (Luka, Shai, Brunson)
20 (Ant, Hali)
More than any of the previous 20 seasons, at least. pic.twitter.com/G6OIlUE78a – 11:31 PM

I’m not gonna get too worked up about it, but Kawhi making All NBA 2nd Team over LeBron is truly indefensible.
Just no legitimate argument for it. – 9:01 PM

More on this storyline
In a recent conversation with Shaquille O’Neal on The Big Podcast, Green revealed his desire to play alongside James, citing the opportunity to witness James’ basketball IQ in action on a day-to-day basis. “I would love to play with Bron,” Green expressed, emphasizing his admiration for James’ basketball intellect and the chance to observe his decision-making process on and off the court. -via TalkBasket / May 23, 2024
While Green missed the opportunity to join James on Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics, he remains hopeful for future opportunities to collaborate with the Lakers superstar. “I thought I had the opportunity this summer to check that off the box. It didn’t happen for me, but I would love to play with Bron,” Green explained. “Not necessarily I want to be on this NBA team, but I would have loved the opportunity to play together because I want to see how his mind works on a day-to-day basis in the basketball setting.” -via TalkBasket / May 23, 2024
“Yeah, I think he’s figuring it out. I wanted him to kind of figure it out on his own, where he sees himself fit in the NBA, or where he sees what his comp looks like. To see him mention guys like Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, a few other guys, Marcus Smart, in our league, Davion Mitchell, these are guys who like come in and for a team that is trying to win championships, a team that wants to win every night, these are the players that you have to have on your team. It doesn’t always show up in the box scores, but it always shows up in the winning plays. And for Bronny to have that perspective on where he stands today, that’s great. I think that’s great for any team to be able to have a 19-year-old kid, like you said, I know that wasn’t my goal. -via Lakers Nation / May 23, 2024
Ballislife: LEBRON JAMES: “I’m in that mode because I’m getting the same thing from watching my son, who’s a 19 year old getting a lot of animosity and hatred towards him when he’s just a kid trying to live out his dream. There’s a very small number of men and women that give to live out their dream of playing a professional sport. And we have grown ass men and women out here doing whatever they can to try to make sure that doesn’t happen. That is the weirdest thing in the world. It is what it is. I’m glad Caitlin has a great head on her shoulder.” -via Twitter / May 22, 2024
