In a surprising revelation from a recent Los Angeles Lakers practice, Anthony Davis did not mince words when comparing Bronny James to his legendary father, LeBron James. The truth about their intense training sessions has now come to light, and according to Davis, Bronny still has a long way to go.
Speaking to reporters, Davis commented on the fierce competition between LeBron and Bronny. “It’s great to see them both go head-to-head, but let’s be real,” Davis said, “Bronny just doesn’t have the same level as his dad. He’s got talent, but compared to LeBron, Bronny is falling short. In practice, Bronny struggled to keep up. The gap between them is huge.”
During a recent session, Davis observed Bronny trying to assert himself. “Bronny hit a 3-pointer, and we were all cheering him on,” Davis recalled. “But then LeBron came right back, drove through the defense, and finished with an aggressive layup, showing everyone why he’s still the king.”
Bronny, the No. 55 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft, has shown promise in his rookie year, but the weight of living up to his father’s legendary status is immense. As the Lakers gear up for the 2024-25 season, Bronny faces the challenge of proving he can carve his own path, while Davis and his teammates watch closely to see how the young guard develops under LeBron’s towering shadow.
