“Nobody in America cares!” – LeBron and Bronny James’ history making moment DOWNPLAYED by radio personality

LeBron James and Bronny history making moment was criticized

With the new NBA season starting, various storylines have kept the fanbase interested. The historic moment of LeBron James and Bronny playing together in the NBA sparked a heartwarming reaction from the fans. However, Christopher ‘Mad Dog’ Russo came out with a unique criticism.

Bronny James persevered after he suffered a cardiac arrest last year, but his father’s connection may have gotten him drafted. Bronny’s NBA debut alongside his father is a testament to their bond, as LeBron James called it, family over everything. But ‘Mad Dog’ felt it did not resonate with others.

Let’s calm down. Nobody in America, this might be fun for LeBron. Nobody in America cares that Bronny James played three minutes and grabbed one rebound at 11 o’clock at night in the opener. And this is supposed to be a moment that America is going to resonate with.

The moment wasn’t a distraction for the Purple and Gold. They displayed a fire absent last season in the win over the T-Wolves. Star center Anthony Davis had a night to remember in the win. It appears JJ Redick, and the Lakers have more to be optimistic about than the father-son spectacle.

LeBron James relishes the historical moment with Bronny  

The moment for LeBron James finally arrived as he added a new milestone in his legendary career. The four-time NBA champion had always dreamed of the moment. As such, only James can imagine how he must have felt when it finally happened in the fourth minute of the second quarter.

At the end of the game, they both had a joint press conference where they spoke on how the moment felt. However, Bronny finished scoreless with one rebound, while King James contributed 16 points in the win. After the game, the four-time champion admitted something about the historic moment.

That moment, us being at the scorer’s table together and checking in together, something I will never forget. No matter how old I get, no matter how my memory may fade as I get older or whatever, I will never forget that moment.

The Lakers’ victory, led by Anthony Davis with 36 points, 16 rebounds, and three blocks, made the historic moment even sweeter for the James family. It also brought a relief to fans of the Purple and Gold, who were used to seeing the Lakers lose on any King James’ historic night.
