During the team’s media availability, LeBron was asked about his son Bronny James, who currently plays for USC. LeBron says Bronny is ready for the NBA and appeared to take a shot at his teammates by saying his son could easily play for the Lakers right now.
“He (Bronny) could play for us right now. easy. EASY.”
during ad’s availability, austin asked lebron about bronny’s game tomorrow and if he’d be starting. lebron said he thought it was time, and loudly said “he could play for us right now. easy. EASY.”

Lakers fans already think LeBron is plotting to have Bronny on the Lakers after one year of college at USC.
This is both good and bad at the same time 😂
On one side, you see a father trying to increase his son’s draft stock. On the other, this is both a shot to teammates and the organization 😂😂😂 https://t.co/uSpMv78yAc

It is worth noting that Bronny is currently playing on a minutes restriction at USC after a health scare over the summer, and it’s unclear if he’ll make the jump to the NBA or play another year of college ball.
