The Cavaliers’ welcome messages to LeBron and Bronny James.
“It was crazy, much more than I expectedsure. Everything is love. It was a nice moment. The chants really affected me. I was serious, but I felt it, and it felt really good, especially coming from here. Yeah, It was a special moment for me“without a doubt,” he said.

I have two children and I can’t even imagine it. I enjoy playing in the backyard with my son, so to do it in the NBA… I love it. “I think we should celebrate.”
There may not be many more options to see LeBron and Bronny together with the Lakers this season. That they coincided in Cleveland was something calculated, but the franchise plans that when the tour in which it is immersed ends, the young man goes with the South Bay, the team linked in the G League. There he should have minutes to be able to grow and improve.
