Lakers' Bronny James sends fiery message about making a name for himself after LeBron's 76ers exit
It is very clear that Bronny James wants to make his own name in the NBA. James recently talked about wanting to prove himself a player outside of being LeBron James' son.
The Los Angeles Lakers made significant roster changes over the summer by being aggressive in free agency and on the trade market. The team now centers around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, with LeBron James departing to join the Philadelphia 76ers. LeBron, 41, signed a two-year, $8 million contract with a player option, as reported by ESPN's Dave McMenamin and Klutch Sports Group CEO Rich Paul.
This move left Bronny James, his 21-year-old son, uncertain about his future. Bronny, a third-year guard, expressed excitement about the opportunity to build his own story and prove himself separate from his father, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest NBA players of all time. At media day, Bronny emphasized that he wants to be known as Bronny and not simply as LeBron's son.
He sees this upcoming season as a potential breakout year, especially with his dedication to the game and the work he's put in over the summer.
