Bronny’s Burden

Related Topics: LeBron James Jr.

One of the things you can count on in life is when you get hyped up, there will be plenty of people ready to pop that balloon.

It hasn't really happened yet with LeBron James Jr., but it’s getting closer.

We listened to a basketball podcast after Peach Jam and the hosts very delicately, even deferentially, said that at 6-2, Bronny is not the player his father is and may never be.

Bronny is 14. No one has any idea how he’s going to mature in 10 years, either physically or psychologically.

What we do know is that he’s a smart player who has been around one of the game’s greatest players all his life.
