LeBron James publicly CLAIMS his son Bronny is way better than some players he has been watching, fans believe he’s firing shots at Grant Williams

LeBron James has had a lot of free time since his injury and has taken to Twitter to praise his son Bronny James while comparing his skills to current NBA players. “Man Bronny is better than some of these cats I’ve been watching on league pass today. Shit lightweight hilarious,” said LeBron on Twitter. LeBron tweeted this during the Cavaliers vs Celtics game which saw some top-tier entertainment from Grant Williams.

Williams and Donovan Mitchell were talking trash with 0.8 seconds left and Williams claimed he would hit both free throws to win the game. Williams went on to miss both of them and the Celtics lost in overtime. This led fans to suspect LeBron James was tweeting about Grant himself. LeBron has always been vocal about his admiration towards his son and now is publicly comparing him to NBA players for the first time.

However, some fans felt LeBron is starting to campaign for his son in the league before he has even joined college. Bronny is still in high school and is in process of selecting a college. He will be eligible for the draft in the 2024/25 season and LeBron is looking to get his draft stock up by then. LeBron has been called a GM for most of the teams he has played for and maybe this is another GM move to create hype for Bronny.

Bronny James has significantly increased his own draft stock this season

Bronny James was not even a top 50 recruit coming into this season but he has leapt into the top 40 during his senior year. He is averaging 14 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3 assists for Sierra Canyon this year. LeBron’s son is leading his team in rebounds and has been clutch for Sierra Canyon this season. His father never played college basketball and was arguably the most hyped draft prospect ever.

Bronny James has not reached LeBron James’ level of hype yet but he does have another year left. Since the NBA has made it mandatory to attend one year of college, Bronny and LeBron will have to wait another year to possibly play with each other. Bronny being 6 foot 3 inches is a shifty guard with great bounce just like his father. Bronny has improved his shot selection and his three-point shooting this season and has been a real threat for Sierra Canyon.

LeBron James will believe his genes are good enough for Bronny to succeed in the NBA but this is not always the case. In most scenarios, NBA legends who have kids in the league tend to have a role-playing mediocre career. Gary Payton for example was a defensive player of the year and his son is mostly a sixth man on all the teams he has been on. However, nobody expected LeBron to be as great as he is, maybe his son can repeat the same thing.
