LeBron James has more or less accomplished everything in his career in the NBA. He only has one ultimate goal left: to play with his son in the big league.. A former rival LeBron star has given her opinion on the talents of the father and son, and the King has responded.
The countdown is on before the NBA first counts a father and son together in the league and, possibly, on the same team. Bronny James is in fact currently doing his high school course on the Sierra Canyon side, while LeBron James brings titles back to the Lakers.
The two have already started training together and not many people have had the opportunity to see such a spectacle. Gilbert Arenas, now a coach with young people, is one of these privileged few. The former Wizards star got to see Bronny and compared him to his father, who visibly validates everything. But a big difference caught the attention of the former Wizards.
LeBron asked Gilbert Arenas for his honest opinion of Bronny.

LeBron came over to me and said, “Yo, are you training kids now?” “I replied,” Nah, why? What’s the matter ? He was like, “Bronny is training dribbling and we’re looking for a coach.” Can you keep an eye on him? “
I observed him, I sent back a message [à LeBron] and I said, “Don’t worry, he’s like you at the same age.” From what I can tell now, he probably has a better shot than yours (at the same age, editor’s note), he dribbles better than you, he has the same passing ability, you were surely faster and taller, but he jump higher. “
He said, “Right on! “And I added:” The difference between you and him is that you needed basketball to get out of the ghetto. He doesn’t have this need, because you already have. “
The major difference is indeed at the social level. LeBron was born and raised in a struggling family before becoming a star. Bronny, he never knew these difficulties and went directly to the status of child-star. The aggressiveness and the hunger for success may therefore not be the same, and Agent Zero is already warning the King on the matter.
Where LeBron James had to build his legacy, his legend, Bronny will present himself with another pressure: that of perpetuating it. If he actually has more qualities than his father at the same age as Arenas and the King esteem, we dare not imagine what monster will land in the league in a few years!
