Lakers Owner Jeanie Buss Shares What Sets Bronny James Apart From Other Players
After making his debut in the Los Angeles Lakers jersey, Bronny James faced significant criticism for his performance. As the son of NBA legend LeBron James, expectations were high for Bronny. However, his initial showings, including his performance in the Summer League, did not showcase the level of athleticism many fans anticipated.
But not everyone is quick to dismiss Bronny’s potential. Lakers owner Jeanie Buss recently spoke about her high hopes for the rookie during an interview with AM 570 LA Sports. Buss shared the importance of giving him time to develop and prove himself worthy of wearing the Lakers uniform.
“Yeah, I mean, again, we have to let the kid have an opportunity to play and prove that he should be in a Laker uniform,” Buss said.
“Everything that we’ve seen from him and about him and his work ethic, and just some of the things that he’s had to overcome, being the son of a big star, he works hard, he’s dedicated, and he really wants to do this. If we can have a roster of players with that same mentality, then I think the sky is the limit,” she added.
LeBron James Could Surpass Michael Jordan for Bronny James in a Way No One Expected
While LeBron James has certainly made a strong case for himself in the GOAT debate, there is one area where he may surpass Jordan. LeBron is on track to potentially make history alongside his son, Bronny James. Both are ready to play in the NBA as the first father-son duo. This unique accomplishment could set LeBron apart in a way that even Jordan hasn’t matched.
This potential achievement has caught the attention of many in the basketball world, including former NBA star Gilbert Arenas. During an episode of his podcast, No Chill Gill, Arenas shared his thoughts on LeBron’s unique position in the GOAT debate.
“I mean, because Michael Jordan’s son got in trouble and Michael Jordan didn’t get that scrubbed off the internet. Bron got his son. While LeBron was on the road lil Bronny got caught up in some sh**t, and you can’t find none of that no more,” Arenas said.
LeBron has recently added a third gold medal with Team USA to his achievements. However, he has yet to share the court with his eldest son. Like Arenas, the entire NBA community eagerly anticipates this potentially historic moment.
