LeBron James’ Agent Accused Of Lying About Bronny Name

Bronny James is in the spotlight again and everyone is talking about his new role with the Los Angeles Lakers. A lot of people believe that the Lakers used the No.55 pick to get Bronny just because his father is LeBron James. Bronny got the good genes from his dad and will definitely have a great career in the NBA. His agent would just ignore the fact that Bronny is LeBron’s son. Paul even insists that Bronny would’ve made the big scene even if his name was Jonh Smith.

Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest and had to go through a long recovery process. He returned to the basketball court at one point, but his stats weren’t that explosive. LeBron’s oldest son averaged less than five points per game in his first year at USC. How did he make the Lakers roster? Well, Rob Pelinka said LeBron was in no way related to his son’s drafting. He also said that the team plans to reconstruct the game plan and let the fresh power flow in. Bronny and Dalton Knecht are expected to make an impact and the Lakers have great expectations from both rookies.

Bronny and his agent trigger an avalanche of reactions online

Paul may trust Bronny’s potential, but some fans crossed the red line with their recent comments. A lot of people don’t bite the story of how Bronny would have joined the Lakers even if he had a different name.

“Literally wrong but it’s ok to admit that😂 same way goes for thanasis,” one fan wrote, referencing Giannis’s brother, who plays for the Bucks.

“Of course, John Smith was a legendary character in Pocahontas. Teams would definitely get him for the name recall,” one fan joked.

“Bronny James is CLEARLY only in the NBA right now because of his last name. Literally any other college player would have went back for a second year to improve and prove they aren’t as bad as the stats say,” one fan added.

“Of course his agent would say this. Might as well ask him mom too at this point 😂,” one fan added.
