Being a James comes with a spotlight that never dims—whether you’re on the court or just trying to enjoy a game. LeBron James has spent decades handling the pressure, but this time, it wasn’t just him in the heat of the moment. While Bronny James made headlines for his fiery response to a heckler 1,165 miles away, LeBron found himself in a different kind of situation—one that had his wife, Savannah, and daughter, Zhuri, caught in an uncomfortable courtside frenzy.

A few days ago, Bron’s video of aggressively celebrating the Sierra Canyon California state title win in Sacramento surfaced online. Yes, Akron Hammer’s unfortunate groin injury turned into a blessing in disguise. It paved the way for him to witness his youngest son, Bryce James, ending his high school stint on a high. We all know what happened on the court, but a few feet apart, King James and the rest of the family had an uncomfortable situation.

It gets louder whenever LeBron James enters an NBA arena. Just imagine the state of the fans in a high school game. Yes, the superstar was drowning in love. James Sr., Savannah, and their youngest one, Zhuri, were seated at the courtside, enjoying Bryce’s last high school game. At the same time, a ton of young fans ganged up behind the family, asking for selfies. Mind you, the fans were relentless, going after the Akron Hammer without a break.

Bron is usually receptive to his fans, but on that occasion, he behaved as if he didn’t hear anything. Savannah and Zhuri helplessly waited for it all to end. In the meantime, you may wonder where Bronny James was. Well, he was 1165 miles away from his family, going through a similar situation, but handled it differently.

Bronny James learned it from the best

The internet is full of videos capturing LeBron James’ interactions with fans—most of them showcasing his wholesome side, where he shows love right back. But not every encounter is all smiles. There have been moments where LeBron has had heated exchanges with fans, and in some cases, things escalated to the point where officials had to step in.

On a few occasions, he’s even had a fan ejected from the arena. Safe to say, when it comes to fan interactions, LeBron has seen both sides of the spectrum.

Well, some of the traits might have been passed on to his son. Bronny James, the Lakers rookie, lately has turned into an easy target and punching bag for the fans and media. Despite that, he has kept a low-key presence off the court. However, everyone has a line and a fan crossed it. 

During the Lakers’ recent trip to Denver, a fan sitting a few rows behind the bench decided to heckle Bronny James. At first, the 20-year-old kept his cool, ignoring the noise. But eventually, he turned around and hit the heckler with a blunt response: “You chain’s fake.”

For someone who previously stated he wanted to keep a low profile, this was definitely an unexpected move. Looks like even Bronny has his limits.

“I mean I always try to stay as low-key as I can whether that’s media, I mean, everything really, living life. I feel like it’s been really good for me,” said Bronny after the Nuggets game. So, what do you think? Should Bronny hit back at his heckler or focus on building himself? Let us know in the comments below.
