Bronny James, chosen as the fifth pick in the draft by the Lakers, spoke about the valuable advice he has received from his father, LeBron James. In a recent press conference, Bronny shared his thoughts on the pressure of playing alongside his legendary father in the NBA.
Selection and Expectations
Nineteen-year-old Bronny was selected 55th overall in the NBA Draft after a standout season at the University of Southern California (USC). He now prepares to join his father, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and four-time champion, with the Lakers.
Amplified Pressure
During his official introduction, Bronny addressed the topic of pressure: “There is certainly an amplified amount of pressure. I’ve seen it on social media and the internet, talking about whether I deserve a chance. But I’ve faced things like this all my life, so it’s nothing different. It’s more amplified, for sure, but I’ll get through it.”
Creating His Own Legacy
Bronny expressed his excitement about writing his own story in the NBA and proving that he is more than just the eldest son of one of the greatest players in history. “I’m living day to day and trying not to care what others think of me because there are a lot of people who have something to say,” he stated.
Bronny James is determined to face challenges and excel in the NBA, following his father’s advice and working hard to build his own legacy. With his talent and determination, he aims to show that he deserves his place with the Lakers and in the league.
