LeBron James is a legend in the NBA, and playing alongside his son would be the most iconic moment in his career. However, how much can LeBron protect Bronny from the rest of the league, especially if he is still far from having NBA-level talent?
Recently, he passed on playing in the NBA All-Star Game and announced it just a few minutes before tip-off. In a viral video, he greeted everyone in the room with enthusiasm, slapping and hugging them. The only person who didn’t receive such a warm greeting was the Celtics’ Jaylen Brown.
Early last year, a video surfaced of Jaylen Brown speaking with Chicago Sky players Kysre Gondrezick and Angel Reese. He expressed that he didn’t believe Bronny had the talent to go pro. Later, Kysre suggested that Bronny would likely go to the G-League.

During the All-Star video, Bron was first seen sharing slaps and hugs with the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum. He then exchanged a quick salute with Jaylen Brown. After that, he interacted with the Suns’ Kevin Durant and his kids, followed by a brief encounter with the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama, and the Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving.
