After another rough night for the Lakers, LeBron James once again found himself coming to Bronny’s rescue.
Fresh off a 111-89 blowout loss to the Boston Celtics, the self-crowned King couldn’t resist defending his son and teammate, Bronny James, over pastSummer League remarksfrom Celtics star Jaylen Brown, who is firmly among the MVP frontrunners.
Nearly two years ago, Jaylen was caught on camera mouthing "I don’t think Bronny is a pro" courtside to WNBA players Kysre Gondrezick and Angel Reese.

And based on Bronny’s uneven start and limited production so far, Brown wasn’t exactly committing some outrageous act of slander.
So, instead of owning Sunday's ugly loss, James made it personal when talking about Brown before the media.
"Our relationship has been pretty respectful, besides the sh*t he said about Bronny in Summer League. But other than that, we’ve been all right," James said.
Translation:I’m still mad about it.
"We’ll be all right. We’ll be all right," he added, like he’s the one handing out forgiveness.
"I think he went on social media and said something about it. It’s all good. Bronny has a long way to go, but that’s another story."
