LeBron’s Advice: Dunk Criticism, Score Points…
Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, is handling criticism like he handles free throws – with a perfect follow-through and a confident shrug. Being LeBron’s son has to come with its challenges, like the family curse of stunning dunks and sky-high expectations. Despite a season full of armchair critics, the 20-year-old wonder is back from a cardiac scare and balling in the NBA like he’s been there before, racking up a cool 17 points against the Milwaukee Bucks.
LeBron, known for modest declarations, said, “Yeah, he’s used to all this noise. Critics are basically just background music, like a kazoo in a symphony.” LeBron notes that Bronny is laser-focused on his craft – not just focused like you’re trying to find your phone under the couch. Bronny’s G League stint with the South Bay Lakers clearly helped him find his rhythm (and the hoop).
Amidst the swirl of skeptics, some teammates like Markieff Morris see a bright future. Morris, after sharing the court with Bronny, insists that the rookie has ‘HOF potential’ – though hopefully not just the ‘Hall of Fame for Handling Criticism.’ As Bronny zips through his rookie season, it’s clear he’s driving along the highway to success, giving critics nothing but whiplash.
