LeBron James‘ son, Bronny, had the opportunity to play in Cleveland, where he scored his first NBA points in the city where he grew up, making the moment even more special. Despite the Los Angeles Lakers‘ loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Bronny James is eager to prove he has the talent to stay on the team and become a league star.
After this personal milestone, Bronny James shared his thoughts: “It was insane,” Bronny said via Dave McMenamin of ESPN. “Much more than I anticipated for sure. But it’s all love. It was insane. It was a nice moment. The chants really got me. I was straight-faced, but I felt it and it felt really good, especially coming from here. Yeah, it was a special moment for me for sure.”
Bronny has dreamed of playing in the NBA since he was a child. Watching his father play at the highest level inspired him to follow in his footsteps. His league debut was a career highlight.
When asked how long he had imagined scoring his first basket in the professional league, Bronny replied, “Pretty much since I picked the ball up. I’ve been watching [my dad] for a minute playing in the league. Just dreaming of me being in those players’ steps, not only [LeBron’s] but players he used to play against and with. So yes, it was just a dream come true for me.”
