LeBron James on his son dropping in 2024 mock drafts: “Can yall please just let the kid be a kid and enjoy college basketball”

> Can yall please just let the kid be a kid and enjoy college basketball. The work and results will ultimately do the talking no matter what he decides to do. If y’all don’t know he doesn’t care what a mock draft says, he just WORKS! Earned Not Given!

Thought this was relevant given the amount of discourse here about Bronny’s prospects and LeBron’s future.

  4. overhyped his boy and said he can play in the league right now and has to backtrack when his boy is the worst player in one of the worst teams in the Pac-12. Super nasty work.

  6. If he doesn’t care what a mock draft says, how is anyone stopping him from being a kid and enjoying college basketball?

  7. Remember when he tweeted out Bronny was better than some of the guys he was watching in the NBA lmao

  9. Says the guy who was very persistent on Bronny having to play at a P5 D1 school and making it known Bronny could play in the league

  10. This whole thing is so weird. Bron always saying he wants to play by his son, amping him up a ton. Now the kid isn’t performing (yet), and you gotta believe there’s some pressure mounting on him.

  11. He would have gotten media attention no matter what but LeBron definitely put more of a spotlight on him with some of his comments. Kinda made his own bed there

  12. I don’t generally care about mock drafts but I was told by a highly accomplished, future HOF NBA player that Bronny is a lot better than a lot of guys who currently play in the NBA so I’m a bit confused on this one.

  13. He put that on him, by constantly expressing his desire for his son to play in the NBA. also he said his son was better than some of the current NBA players.

  20. Guys lebron isn’t good at accepting praise, he hates the spotlight! Please leave him alone

  21. A father believing in his son is saying “yeah he can be a great player one day” a father doesn’t need to say “he’s already better than a lot of NBA players are right now”. Seems like so many people think the only way to be a good dad is to just over hype your son.

  22. Zero self awareness a lot of the time this fella! And I’m saying this as someone who got properly into the NBA because of LeBron… But you constantly talking about how you want to play with the kid before you retire has brought on a lot of pressure that he doesn’t deserve! Come on man.

  23. I mean I get LeBron’s broader point but in this case ESPN is literally doing their job here. I don’t know what the complaint is about, they’re not giving unsolicited advice to Bronny or anything, just saying that due to reasons (many out of his control) they don’t think he’ll get drafted 

  24. Lebron, for years: “My son will be playing in the NBA!!!”

    Lebron now: “whoah whoah whoah who ever said anything about my son being in the NBA”

  26. How it started: “Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I’ve been watching on league pass today,”

    How it’s going: “Can yall please just let the kid be a kid and enjoy college basketball”

  27. They’re removing him from mocks because they want him to continue being a kid enjoy college basketball for a couple more seasons! Why is he mad?

    “Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I’ve been watching on league pass today. Shit lightweight hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣”

  35. Can yall please just let the kid be a kid and enjoy college basketball until his stats are better and I go back to hyping him?

  42. This is why I can’t stand this guy, he literally just said his son is better than NBA players. Egotistical crybaby

  45. Just let him be a kid and collect his NIL millions like all of his teammates…

    Bronny is 19….he is not a kid

  46. “Bronny could play for the Lakers right now” Bronny falling down draft boards to off most draft boards. “LET THE KID BE A KID”

  47. Bronny over this year’s summer break: “I hate you! I hate basketball! I just want to be a dentist!”
