LeBron previously reflected on Bronny’s development and knew his son’s entry into the G-League was a possibility.
“I just (look forward to) seeing him continue to grow as a basketball player, regardless of whether he’s here with us or whether he’s down with the G-League team and he continues to get better and better,” he said.
‘Your job is to push yourself and get better and better, just like the rest of us. And we want to hold him accountable, and he will hold us accountable. And if we all do that, we will all improve, because we are all one team. We are a reflection of the South Bay; “South Bay is a reflection of us.”
