Remember that moment when Jaylen Brown leaned over to Kysre Gondrezick and Angel Reese courtside, whispering his doubts about Bronny James' pro potential during a 2024 Summer League game in Vegas? Well, LeBron James hasn’t forgotten.
After the Lakers fell to the Celtics at Crypto.com Arena, LeBron was asked about his relationship with Brown. Despite acknowledging Brown's MVP-level play this season, especially in the absence of Jayson Tatum, LeBron couldn’t resist revisiting those past comments about his son.
Reflecting on Brown's Remarks
"They're playing great basketball, and it's because of him and the rest of those guys," LeBron said. "He's taking that next step.
Our relationship has been... pretty respectful. You know, besides the stuff he said about Bronny at Summer League."
When pressed on whether they’d moved past the incident, LeBron remained composed. "You know, we'll be all right.
We'll be all right. Yeah, we'll be all right.
I think he went on social media and said something about it. It's all good.
Bronny's got a long way to go, but that's another story. But the kid, I mean, listen, JB is doing his thing."
While LeBron might still feel a bit salty about the comments from two years ago, many NBA fans might agree with Brown’s assessment back then. Yet, it’s clear that both players have moved forward, focusing on their respective paths and successes.
