When discussing how his son has gone through the pre-draft process on his “Mind the Game” podcast with JJ Redick, LeBron couldn’t help but be proud of Bronny for the maturity he has shown: “I didn’t have social media to deal with when I came in at 18. I did have a lot of scrutiny, I did have a lot of things that was put on my shoulders. But I didn’t have every single day, around the clock news coverage, sports shows, things are talking about this particular person every single day. Or you go online or on social media and X and Instagram and everyone can comment every single day about whatever they want to say. I didn’t have to deal with that and to see him handle it with such class and just self awareness and just staying even keeled is just a remarkable thing, man. Super proud of him, me and Savannah talk about it all the time, how proud we are of our kids and he’s the oldest. We always told him from day one, listen, you have to set an example for your brother, your little sister and he continues to do that.” -via Lakers Nation / May 23, 2024
