One of the most talked-about prospects in the NBA today is Bronny James. While many recognize him because he’s the son of LeBron James, others believe the young guard is steadily forging his own path—and doing it impressively. Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry recently spoke about the rising talent.
During an appearance on the 360 With Speedy podcast, Curry recalled first seeing Bronny James as a toddler and immediately noticing something special in his athleticism. Now, years later, Curry is watching that same kid take his first steps in the league—and like many around the NBA, he’s amazed by how quickly time has flown.
“I remember how athletic Bronny looked that night—couldn’t have been more than three or four,” Curry said on the 360 With Speedy podcast. “And how fast he ran across the court, I’m like, ‘He going somewhere.’ And now to see him in the league is crazy.”
Now 37, Curry has watched generations of talent pass through the league while maintaining his status among the NBA’s elite. Arguably, the biggest reminder of his longevity is now sharing the court with Bronny James—the son of his longtime on-court rival, LeBron James.

Unlike most NBA hopefuls, Bronny didn’t have a conventional journey. Born into basketball royalty, he grew up in the spotlight, constantly compared to his father, who has been a face of the league for two decades. Yet, despite the expectations, Bronny is carving his own identity.
