It’s been nearly two years sinceJaylen Brown made some unflattering commentsabout Bronny James, but LeBron James made it clear Sunday he’s still not forgotten them.
Following the Los Angeles Lakers’ 111–89 loss to the Celtics at Crypto.com Arena, LeBron admitted to being irked by the way Brown spoke about his son during an NBA Summer League game back in 2024.

“Our relationship has been pretty respectful,” LeBron said when asked how he and the Boston superstar have gotten along over the years.
“You know, besides the s–t he said about Bronny in Summer League. But other than that, you know, we’ve been all right.”
While courtside at a July 2024 preseason matchup in Las Vegas, Brown was caught on camera appearing to tellWNBA players Kysre GondrezickandAngel Reesethat he didn’t “think Bronny is a pro.”
He later added that he believed Bronny would make the Lakers’ main roster and not be sent to the G-League during his rookie year “because of his name.”
Brown took to his X page shortly after his remarks went viral, and while he didn’t exactly apologize, he was very complimentary of LeBron James and his son.
