Stephen A. Smith expressed concern over LeBron James allowing his son Bronny to compete at the NBA level before he is ready, especially after a challenging performance against the Philadelphia 76ers. With the Lakers short-handed, Bronny had a rough game, failing to score and accumulating turnovers. Critics of Bronny's draft selection argue it stems from nepotism, as he was picked due to his father's fame. Smith encouraged LeBron to reconsider allowing Bronny to develop his skills in the G League before committing to the NBA full-time, given the scrutiny he faces as LeBron’s son.
I am pleading with LeBron James, as a father, Smith said. Stop this. Stop this. We all know that Bronny James is in the NBA because of his dad.
We love what we're seeing from him in the G League because that's where you belong as you hone your skills and you get better, and you legitimately earn – which I believe he has the potential to do.
