If it’s a bad day for him, you pick him up. … There’s things we can do that doesn’t even need words. We can just look at each other and know.

LeBron James wasn’t the only one who spoke about playing with his son. Bronny James did the same. Bronny revealed his thoughts on maintaining his composure throughout the historic occasion after the preseason game vs the Phoenix Suns. He is now focused on his path to the league after recovering from cardiac arrest in 2023.

I’m always thinking about ‘That’s my dad’ because that’s literally my dad. So I just go out there and, when I’m playing, he’s just my teammate. That’s all I’m thinking at that point.

Bronny James told the reporters after the game

King James contributed 19 points, five rebounds, and four assists during the contest. However, Bronny’s performance wasn’t that great, as he only managed two points on 1/7 shooting in two games. Notably, Bronny has not been performing up to the ‘NBA standard’ lately.

Regarding this, he will have to put in the hard work if he is to be a success in the NBA. Bronny continues to have the backing of the people around him. Hence, it remains to be seen how Bronny James will develop throughout the 2024-25 NBA season.
