This is what I admire most about Bronny James: His humility and his work ethic. There is zero arrogance. There are zero entitlements. Bronny literally grew up in a 16,000sq.ft. home, while being raised by a father who was earning over $2 million dollars per WEEK……and STILL IS. His father was gone a LOT for work. Nine months out of each year to be exact. Bronny had every opportunity to crash out. He had every opportunity to knock up girls, to develop addictive behaviors, or just to become a lazy, disrespectful, selfish, rich, and arrogant PRICK, as rich kids often do. His parents never allowed that. I remember a reporter asking Lebron about Bronny averaging just 14ppg back when he was in high school. LeBron said, “My son could easily average 20+ppg. That is not how I raised him. I taught him to be a team player FIRST, and to make the right plays. I don’t care about scoring stats at this point. I am more focused on skill development.” P.S. THIS mentality 👆🏾👆🏾 is why Bronny is shooting 43% from 3-point range in the NBA. This is also why he was the best SHOOTER In the McDonald’s All-American game, AND one of the TOP TWO shooters at the NBA combine. I attended a Lakers game recently. My seats were very close to the court, and I had the opportunity to just observe Bronny up close for a few minutes. He was quiet and unassuming. He was very respectful with every person that he interacted with. He deferred to his veteran teammates on the sidelines. His teammates loved him. They joked around with him often when Lebron was not even around. Looking at this kid, one would never know that he was the son of the most famous athlete on the PLANET. One would never know from observing his mannerisms that he had lived in a $25 million dollar home while attending HIGH school. I can’t find ONE POST from him on social media flaunting his wealth. The only thing that this kid has done is put his head down, been a great teammate, and worked his butt off. For that……..you have losers trashing him and attacking him all over social media. You see idiots tweeting things like: “Bronny will be out of the league as soon as his Dad retires.” Who cares if he is? This is still one of the greatest accomplishments/stories in the HISTORY of sports, and Bronny will be successful and rich for the rest of his life, with, or without basketball. Let this kid live, and enjoy this HISTORIC moment because we will NEVER see this again!
