LeBron Hasn't Forgotten About Jaylen Brown's Bronny Slander

LeBron James isn’t going to forget about what Jaylen Brown said about Bronny anytime soon.

The Lakers star was asked about his relationship with Brown on Sunday night, after L.A.’s 111-89 loss to the Celtics.

He took the opportunity to reference a moment from a Summer League game when Brown was caught criticizing James’ eldest son, Bronny James.

Jaylen Brown: “I don’t think Bronny [James] is a pro.”

Kysre Gondrezick: “I think he’ll be on the G-league team for sure.”

JB: “I don’t think so, I think because of his name he’ll be on the Lakers.” 👀

“Our relationship has been pretty respectful, besides the s— he said about Bronny at summer league,” James said. “But other than that, other than that we’ve been all right.”

James said he and Brown “will be all right.”

“I think he went on social media and said something about it,” James said. “It’s all good, but Bronny’s got a long way to go, but that’s another story. But the kid, I mean, listen, JB is doing [great]. S—, he’s playing great basketball, man.”

LeBron even went on to say that Brown has made a strong case for MVP this season.

“This whole MVP thing, I don’t understand why his name is not getting talked about some as well,” James said. “Like, nobody gave them a shot to start the season. And he’s averaging what, 30? Just under 30? It’s a popularity contest sometimes, I tell you.”

Brown was humble when asked about his performances this year.

“I feel like I’m the best two-way player in the world,” Brown said. “I play both ends on the court. Night to night, I’m available, which is hard to do. I’m a leader. I help lead my team, empower my team to come out and play confidently, stuff that doesn’t always show up on the analytics. And I’m a winner. I come out and try to win every single night. So I’m grateful.

“It’s an honor to play the Celtics-Lakers rivalry. It’s an honor for LeBron, who’s arguably the best player to ever play the game, giving me some high praise. So, I’m just grateful.”
