Bronny James and LeBron James
Not for the first time this season, veteran analyst Jason Whitlock once again made provocative comments about LeBron James and his son Bronny, where he stated that they lack respect around the NBA due to their own disrespect towards the game. Whitlock’s remarks come amidst a recent on-court incident that involved James Sr. and Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant.
During Wednesday’s game, Morant shoved LeBron James after he scored, which led to tension between the two players. Whitlock used this incident to illustrate his point on X, as he criticized the James family’s behavior and attitude towards the game.
He’s not respected because he and Bronny are disrespecting the game and everybody knows it.

LeBron James and Ja Morant engaged in heated battle as Grizzlies down Lakers
LeBron James and Ja Morant had an intense showdown on Wednesday as the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Memphis Grizzlies. The confrontation began when Morant taunted Gabe Vincent after he scored on him before halftime, which prompted James to defend his teammate.
That wasn’t the end of it, as James retaliated by scoring on Morant and then mimicked his “too small” celebration, which escalated tensions. The back-and-forth continued, as Morant scored and then shoved James, and then earned a tech for his troubles. Despite the heated exchange, James downplayed the incident, as he attributed it to the competitive nature he and Morant share.
Two guys from the inner city that loves to compete.
