Being the son of arguably the most famous NBA player on Earth has its perks, but it also comes with plenty of scrutiny, especially if you’re looking to follow his path.
Bronny James has learned that the hard way, as fans are constantly nitpicking his game and trying to compare him to his old man.
That’s why some have gone as far as to question his athleticism, which is perhaps the most impressive feature of his game.
With that in mind, James took to Twitter to react to a clip of his firstborn dunking and showcasing his athleticism.
LeBron ripped the “casuals” and stated that Bronny is just as athletic — if not more — than he was at the same age, adding that those critics don’t know what they’re talking about.
Exactly!!! He’s definitely just as if not right there at his age. The casuals just like to argue about they literally don’t know about https://t.co/DO0AyW8b4k

Notably, LeBron has been on a bit of a campaign to drive Bronny’s draft stock up, as he should.
Bronny even cracked the top 10 in ESPN’s early mock draft, but that was before he suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed while practicing at USC.
He’s reportedly one of the best defenders in his class, and he got his dad’s basketball IQ as a pass-first kind of guy.
Bronny may not have the upside of LeBron — no one does.
But he looks like he could be a serviceable NBA player in the right opportunity.
We’ll get to see what he has when he suits up for the USC Trojans, and he’ll have more than enough chances to show his athleticism to the naysayers.
