LeBron James simply reminded everybody he retains receipts … particularly in relation to household.
After the Los Angeles Lakers acquired thumped on Sunday by the Boston Celtics, James was requested about his relationship with fellow All-Star Jaylen Brown — and the King did not sugarcoat something.
LBJ mentioned issues between them have been “respectful” … aside from “the s*** he mentioned about Bronny at Summer time League.”
“However aside from that, we’ve been alright,” James mentioned. “I feel he went on social media and mentioned one thing about it. It’s all good.”
Translation? We’re good … however I heard you.
As you’ll bear in mind, Brown was caught on digicam in the course of the 2024 Summer time League … showing to inform Angel Reese and Kysre Gondrezick that “I do not suppose Bronny is a professional.” The clip blew up on-line, sparked debate in all places — and clearly caught with Bron’s dad radar.

Nonetheless, James didn’t go scorched earth. He balanced the jab with reward … saying Brown deserves to be within the MVP dialog this season.
“This entire MVP factor, I do not perceive why his title will not be getting talked about some as properly,” James mentioned. “Like, no one gave them a shot to start out the season.”
Brown has since walked again his Summer time League take and publicly supported Bronny, saying the younger guard has all of the instruments to succeed. And judging by LeBron’s tone, this isn’t one thing that’s tearing the league aside.
“It’s a flex to have your son alongside you within the nba it displays greatness and longevity,” Brown posted to X after the clip surfaced. “Bronny has all of the instruments round him to achieve success I stay up for watching his progress.”
In the event you take a shot at somebody’s child — even casually — don’t anticipate pops to neglect it.
