LeBron James has said enough. The Lakers star, who was being bombarded by the media with questions about his son and the fact of going to share a team this season, he is already tired of having to talk about it and has put his foot down. He did it after the last training session of the Los Angeles team, while he attended to several journalists in a mixed zone and one of them questioned him again about Bronny and how his adaptation to the team went.
LeBron watches his son Bronny in the first Lakers game in which they met on the court.
The matter is already causing him boredomas he made clear in his response: “Unfortunately, I don’t know,” he replied rather curtly. And he was even more forceful when asked about it: “Have you spoken to him?” It was then that he was most forceful: “Well, you have to ask him. Bronny is all grown up now, ask him how he’s doing. He’s a grown man, a professional, and he can handle it and answer these questions himself.”. But you know why, for better or worse, you pay so much attention to it.”
“You have to ask him. Ask him how he is handling it. He is a grown man, a professional and he can handle it and answer these questions himself
Reporters have taken to asking LeBron questions about his family for the past 20 years, and Now that he shares a team with his son, these have multiplied and are the center of all the star’s press appearances.who is tired of this reality that repeats itself day after day. The Lakers star is hoping that this whole hurricane passes and that the fans, coaches and players get used to seeing an NBA team in which both the father and the son play. Something that is not going to be easy.
A very high-profile affair
Journalists know that This issue is one of the most high-profile, if not the most, of the new season that starts next weekand they constantly want to know how Bronny’s adaptation to the team is going and how the father-son relationship as teammates is evolving. And it is logical that even LeBron, who has spent his entire career supporting media pressure with professionalism, is already tired of listening to the same song every day.
I just matched them on the track and liked what I saw. As for the ‘why’, I just wanted to give them the opportunity to play together in the preseason, that was the right time to do it.
And his father isn’t the only target of reporters’ questions about Bronny. Also Lakers coach JJ Redick gets his share of them every time he appears at a press conference. He already spoke about it after the preseason defeat against the Suns (114-118), in a match in which father and son shared the court for the first time. “It was during a stretch where I think we had some issues with our transition defense. We just match them. I liked what I saw. As for the ‘why’, I just wanted to give them a chance to play together in the preseason.that was the right time to do it.”
