The prospect of LeBron James teaming up with his son Bronny in the NBA has been an exciting one for basketball fans ever since LeBron expressed his desire to do so a few years ago.

Since then, the basketball world has closely followed Bronny’s rise through the sport. While it’s still unclear where the 19-year-old will be selected in June’s NBA draft, Bronny recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of joining forces with his father in the league.

“I don’t think when I get there—I don’t think it would just be me and my dad,” Bronny said. “I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad. That’s not my mindset right now, at all. I’m just trying to put in the work and see where it takes me.”

Although the idea of playing alongside his father, one of the greatest NBA stars in history, is enticing, Bronny emphasized that his main priority is finding an environment where he can thrive and contribute.

This sentiment mirrors what was reported after the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski indicated that LeBron’s decision on his future wasn’t dependent on where his son ended up being drafted, and that the family just wanted what was best for Bronny.

Despite the inevitable spotlight due to his family ties, Bronny is determined to let his game speak for itself. He is focused on putting in the work like the rest of his peers to earn his spot in the NBA.
