It’s been nearly two years since Jaylen Brown made some unflattering comments about 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.” LeBron James and Jaylen Brown battled it out during Sunday’s Lakers vs. Celtics game. Afterward, the Los Angeles star admitted the Boston wing’s old comments about son Bronny James irked him.Canada coach blasts 'TV-driven' rules after heartbreaking Olympics loss to USHe 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. It’s a flex to have your son alongside you in the nba it reflects greatness and longevity !Bronny has all the tools around him to be successful I look forward to watching his growth“It’s a flex to have your son alongside you in the nba it reflects greatness and longevity,” Brown wrote. “Bronny has all the tools around him to be successful I look forward to watching his growth.” LeBron James indicated the statement helped to repair the damage the video caused, but still, it wasn’t hard to tell mixed feelings still linger.“We’ll be all right,” LeBron James said. “We’ll be all right. He went on social media and said something about it. It’s all good. But Bronny’s got a long way to go. But that’s another story.”This season, the 21-year-old has seen minutes in 29 contests, averaging 2.2 points per game.Bitter Canadian star shades US after Olympic loss: 'You be the judge'Wife of Team USA's star goalie gives fans inside look at triumphant scene after gold medal win Spring training game turns chaotic as 'boneheaded' mistake leads to wild triple play – minutes after 'bizarre' alarm went offJoel Sherman's 3 Things I Think: Gerrit Cole 'sees the horizon' of return — and what that means for Yankees
