Bronny James, the son of NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James, says there is “an amplified amount of pressure” playing alongside his father with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers selected the younger James with the 55th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft last week, which means that he and the four-time NBA champion could become the first father-son duo to play in the league at the same time.
“I’ve already seen it, media and on the internet and stuff talking about [how] I might not deserve an opportunity, but I’ve been dealing with stuff like this for my whole life, so it’s nothing different,” James told reporters. “It’s more amplified for sure, but I can get through it.”
