There has been much discussion about LeBron James’ desire to play alongside his son Bronny in the NBA. LeBron had previously mentioned that this was a goal of his before his career came to an end. However, it now appears that both father and son, as well as their representatives, are focused on achieving success independently.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, after discussions with Rich Paul, it seems that LeBron James is no longer insistent on playing with Bronny.
“The notion of them playing together is no longer a top priority for LeBron James,” Wojnarowski stated.
This suggests that LeBron James and his agent Rich Paul will prioritize what is best for LeBron without pressuring a team to select his son in the 2024 NBA Draft.
For Bronny James, the main focus is ensuring that he is placed in the most beneficial environment for his personal development.
“Rich Paul’s objective in the pre-draft process for Bronny James is to identify the ideal developmental system or organization, a place where a young player like Bronny James – who had a limited season at USC due to a heart episode – can thrive. If he is drafted, he is likely to spend the following year in the G League,” Wojnarowski explained.
