Bronny James not thinking of playing with dad, he’d be happy getting to NBA

CHICAGO —

Bronny James, meeting with media at the NBA draft combine Tuesday, said that he’s not thought about playing in the NBA with his father.

“I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad,” he said. “But that’s not my mindset at all. I’m just trying to put in the work and see where it takes me from there.”

LeBron James, earlier in his career, said it was his dream to play with Bronny one day in the NBA. But as that possibility got closer, LeBron and people close to him began to distance themselves from those plans in favor of Bronny forging his own path in the situation that’s best for him.
