LeBron James took to social media to fiercely defend his son Bronny James amid ongoing criticism over his entry into the NBA. Bronny’s recent selection by the Los Angeles Lakers has sparked a heated debate, with some strongly supporting his draft while others remain skeptical of the former USC player’s rise to professional basketball.
In response to the backlash, LeBron, ever the protective father, used his Instagram account to address the critics directly. He posted a message encouraging his son to stay focused despite the negativity: “Keep working, kid, and (expletive) all the hate/noise! You know your personal legend! THEY DON’T KNOW YOU!” LeBron’s words were a powerful reminder of his unwavering support for Bronny as he navigates his early NBA journey.
While it’s still uncertain if Bronny will secure a spot on the Lakers’ main roster for the upcoming NBA season, new head coach JJ Redick will make the final call on whether the young player will play with the big team or gain further experience in the G-League. Regardless of the decision, the preseason will offer a unique opportunity for the father-son duo to share the court, marking a new chapter in the James family legacy
