Former LeBron James’ Miami Heat teammate shared his thoughts on the Los Angeles Lakers’ decision to draft Bronny James.
LeBron James has been vocal for years about his dream of playing alongside his son, Bronny, in the NBA. That dream took a step closer to reality when the Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James with the 55th pick in the draft. The James family is now on track to become the first father-son duo to share the court in NBA history.
However, the move sparked widespread debate among fans and analysts, with many questioning whether the Lakers‘ decision was influenced by LeBron’s presence and if Bronny truly has the skills to compete at the NBA level. The discussion has drawn opinions from several current and former players, including Mike Bibby, LeBron’s former Miami Heat teammate.
Bibby recently spoke with NBA insider Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, offering his support for the Lakers’ decision and defending LeBron against accusations of nepotism.
“He did what he was supposed to do,” said Bibby about LeBron. “Everybody wants the best for their kids. It’s going to be good to see, but everybody wants the best for their son. I’m glad he got a chance to do it. A lot of people won’t get that chance. It’s going to be good to see.”
