“Ain’t Making the NBA”: LeBron James Praising His ‘Young King’ Bronny James Draws Massive Flak From Fans

LeBron James never attended college. He was straight out of high school when he made his debut in the NBA. LeBron made his mark on the NBA world through his performances for his high school St. Vincent- St. Mary in Akron, Ohio. 

The buzz around LeBron was unreal as everybody was ready to be a part of the conversation that had LeBron’s mention. Many scouts and experts had their eyes on LeBron. But as the generation has changed, the attention has been shifted to his son, Bronny James.

Even if Bronny is potentially not as good as his father, he is still good enough to get some attention and credit to his game. Bronny James has started to draw praise. He is starting to make a name for himself in the NBA draft world after 3 seasons of high school basketball. James has always supported his son publicly and on social media.

LeBron James suffers Twitter backlash

LeBron recently shared Ballislife.com’s compilation video of his son. He also shared the same video on his Instagram account. This was nothing new. LeBron has always used social media to promote his brands, his show, and his praise for his son.

However, the fans reacted in mixed tones to the appreciation of a father for his son.

Bronny James is in his third year in high school. This means that he has two more years before he gets eligible for the NBA. Although he only has one year of high school left, he would still have to wait for one more year to get on the NBA draft. The NBA no longer allows players to enter in the NBA draft straight out of high school. The NBA requires the players to be at least one year out of high school before featuring in the league.

This means Bronny would have one extra year after high school. During that year, Bronny has options before declaring for the NBA draft. He could play for a college, go overseas to play, play in the G-League, or sit out till the draft and prepare. 

Only time will tell if Bronny will be able to make it in the NBA or not. LeBron would obviously want his son to reach as far as he can. Moreover, he also expressed his desire to share the court with his son in the NBA. 

That would mean LeBron would have to stay at least three more years in the NBA. At 37, LeBron seems fit enough to last at least one more year easily. However, to wait for his son? Well, we can’t put it past LeBron. You never know!
