Seems like a nice kid
His parents clearly raised him well
His dad literally worships Satan so there's a little bit of an issue with that statement.
Smart parents. Mature parents. Smart & mature kid.
@@grahamcarmichael6567 Well said
Dude been media trained out the womb tho
His nannies raised him. I doubt Lebron had anything to do with it.
He's so mature. Lebron and savannah did amazing raising him.
No f-ing s--
@@grahamcarmichael6567can’t say the same for your parents.
@@ThisAinThatMetro lebum setting unreal expectations
@@Strockys and you hating but on his jock lmao
Can he put together a few sentences without mumbling?
This is not your typical American rich kid. He’s humble and grounded ASF. LeBron and Savannah did an excellent job raising him and I’m rooting for his success!
So you know him personally and seen him in his personal life?
@@ericmendenhall2867Yeah we known him his whole life, and not once has he been irritated in an interview. He has a clean record, and doesn't use his parents money to go out every weekend
I'll be rooting for Bronny, he seems so humble and mature ! I'm not sure that everyone in this comment section would be as down to earth if their dad was LeBron James...
Amen
💯💯💯
This kid is too nice for y’all to be hating man
its not hate stating he shouldnt get drafted... he clearly isnt good enough yet
@@zachmorgan5164agreed
Hating??? Remember he the highest paid college player !!! Why can't he get talked about?
Guess you didn’t watch him and adin
his game aint nice lol
Sounds like Bron, very similar mannerisms, very mature, like father like son. Let's go lil Bron
When he said… Ummmmm. Yup! He’s the goat jr. 🐐
And yet people will find a way to hate him
Jordan sure is @@DCBikerR1
@@benserkowski4663bruh love the kids attitude but reality isn’t hating lol. No one believes he’s ready. Look at the lack of confidence in his movements. It’s non shame staying in school prong league. He comes out now he’s career is over before his dads
Remember bron when he was 18 ? Bro couldn’t talk at all
I see why LeBron said he wished he had not named his son after him. It's a lot of pressure for someone so young.
Bro could change his name if he wants.
@@minysun9823bronny
He’s a Jr?
@@MichaelElam2yea. Bronny’s a nickname
yes. i was confused also why parents do this. especially someone as famous as he would be.
Bron's greatest achievement is raising such a well mannered son with the help of his wife
Amen
PLEASE STOP... ONLY DRAFTED CAUS EHIS DAD FOOOOHHHYHH
@@OpenAIRecruitmentGPTn you here d!ck sucking them jit
He's not a puppy 😢.
@@OpenAIRecruitmentGPTso!!! Y’all had and still have this PRIVILEGE for centuries. YT Privilege !!!!!

I swear I was thinking the same thing 💯💯💯
I was thinking that also.
umm....yes
I always wondered what Bron would look like with braids and now I know 😂
Fr lmao
Those are twist my dude
For his first interview u can tell he's confident mature and humble go get it young 👑
Wait til he gets that bag!@ he'll change!
@@user-pb1ic7pi9che already has one
@@user-pb1ic7pi9cstop hating
Lol he sound like his dad. Even got the ummm down 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I bet you didn't know your child looks like you, sounds like you, walks likes you aaaaaaand drum roll TALKS LIKE YOU. It's crazy how genes work right? Genes are the basic unit passed from parent to child.
@@4Bang9Gang lol this guy it was a joke. And that’s cap don’t mean your son gonna act and be like you. Look yes but everybody different
Look like him too
I like that when asked about players he wants to play like he said jrue holiday and derrick white kind of players and didnt immediately go steph curry, damian lillard, brunson etc. He understands that its a hard road to be a superstar player
He has the potential to be great
Once he gets comfortable and puts the wisdom his dad gives him into play in the NBA, he will succeed.
@Masterofnon3 yeah i think he will be a solid player in the league. He already has an nba body. And he will get better
He's actually realistic about his skills. He's gonna be a good player.
He still wants to be all star caliber which is good
Bronny looks like a genuine, calm and down to earth whether he gets drafted I'm sure he'll be fine.
GLAD he doesnt say "Whatever the Case May Be" after EVERY SENTENCE!
Wishing this young man the best.
Fr
The humbleness in this kids demeanor is astonishing 👏🏾💪🏾 Hope he gets the best that life has too offer this young man👑🔥🐐
Hes genuinely unselfish too ❤ the way he smiles, when he says, i never really think about being the biggest guy on the court
Nd people turn they hate on him kuz he Bron son like who tf wouldn’t take the opportunity to enter the draft, if you believe in your skill set and work go for it. It ain’t his fault his father Bron if we all had the resources he has we would be taking advantage of it too, but it’s good to see he’s grateful for the opportunities he’s getting. He ain’t no scrub he gotta 40.5 in vert and has a lot of room for growth. I see him ending up like a Kris Dunn/ Jrue Holiday.
You can tell he just wants an opportunity he said given the opportunity IYKYK
We all have seen glimpses of Bronny’s character. The way he shows up at games and his little sister embraces him like she loves him to death tells a lot. He seems to be very humble and him not making this moment about him when it in fact really is.
Bronny just created the next NBA2K MyPlayer story line lmao.
You are so right...lol!!
@@PA-zt6xu I can see it now lol
so many grown men hating on a 19 year old
I like the man, I just think it' dumb to try to duck your father's shadow, when you are his Junior and literal namesake.
He was designed to be in a shadow. Its not realistic to try and duck it.
It's jealousy. I would do things for my kids. Job anything
Facts so many people hate to see someone chase their dreams
@boss-anova he's not ducking it he's creating his own story like he said hence the name bronny
I don’t see anyone hating on him. You LeBron fans are weird. You try to defend anything and everything. Even if it doesn’t exist.
after watching this interview you should understand why he doesnt do interviews. More questions were asked bout his dad and rehashing the negative comments online than it was about his process, his recovery and speaking about HIS personality
you should understand also that bronny his siblings even his mom and memaw just dont do any unneccessary interviews. they wanna stay out of public's attention as much as possible.
While I agree with you, that exact reason is why they're asking all these questions...they never do interviews or speak out.
@@ech0360as they should
They ask about his dad because that's the only reason why he's being interviewed. His dad should've let him stay in school and make a name for himself. He's literally rushing to be put deeper in his father's shadow.
@itsjustacomment454 go watch the draft combine and stop spouting nonsense. He's killing the combine.
That sniff and exhale at 18:16 is exactly like bron in interviews , followed up with the "yup" in the same voice as his pops!
The “floor general” question was so good. You can see it in his facial expressions. I like the humble response. I would have liked to hear a little more fire in his answer but it was good
Go Show The World Young Man
4 ppg 🤣🤣🤣
@@GourSmithhe was out for most of the season due to he’s heart
@@xxkiy.burkexxhis*
@@xxkiy.burkexx No … He wasn’t. And even before that-he still was trash. We’re not talking about a great player that had a horrible accident and then underperformed … We’re talking about one of the worst players on one of the worst teams. Be quiet.
@@GourSmith your mom avg 4 🍆 a day
Dude literally acts like his dad but looks like his mom! Crazy ! Rooting for him 🙏🏽
😅
I don’t see Savannah in him at all😭
He’s got mom’s eyes
Savanah eyes and head sculp
He will be a star a great player will show them talent when try free up N GET OFF PRESSSURE and Bully talks
his last answer answers a lot for people saying he just riding his dad coat tails, kid said he wants it to be a divide between him and his dad and that he hasn't accomplished anything. He's going to be alright, keep grinding
Awesome display of having a intact family. Well spoken and incredible maturity. Keep putting that work in young man.
Good luck bro write your own legacy
scrubs don't get legacies
Thats all people need to say.
Would be dope if he is a 20/10 guy with 2 spg .. Rondo Tim Hardaway & Eric Bledseo in 1 guy
He's gonna regret not playing with his dad
Comes across as a very humble, and nice young man. Happy for him!
I truly hope ESPN doesn’t try and ruin his career like they tried to do his dad
So true.
🧢
Love that he’s finally speaking to the media for himself. I feel like the flow of comments on THIS video are the polar opposite of most videos when news first broke out about him going into the NBA Draft. But the public didn’t have his personality, mindset, etc., to latch onto when hearing any news about him.
if you don't have kids you won't know this, but when u spend a lot of time with your kids they will develop the same way of speaking and mannerisms. I'm not a laker fan and everything sports aside, respect to lebron as a father and to all the other good dads who provide for and spend time with families. 💯✊🏿
Yea most kids BLK will be like there mom
PLEASE STOP... ONLY DRAFTED CAUS EHIS DAD FOOOOHHHYHH

@@OpenAIRecruitmentGPThater
Seems like a good kid. Hope he does well. Not his fault his father is one of the greatest
Facts. And I hope his Dad didn't make him enter the draft and mess up his future
@@jonosay854his dad didn’t dude, why would his dad do that? did you just wanna find a reason to hate wth lol.
*is the greatest
Can’t name many NBA player sons from the past that have had a successful career. And people still got high hopes on this kid. He’s going to be a solid role player if given the opportunity.
Theeee greatest
That last QnA pretty much sums it up
This was really good seeing him talk at length for the first time.
Seems like such a nice friendly guy.
Wish him all the best for his future.
Very intelligent, grounded, and well-raised! He doesn’t seem like an entitled spoiled brat!
He DEFINITELY should speak more! Very impressed with him!!!👏🏾
He’s never seen like an entitled spoiled brat not even as a teenager. Their whole family is very grounded
@@youngerudit2524 Give me what you're on if you think LeBron is grounded
@@unc54At that age he was
@@unc54 lmao im talking about the rest of then. for being the wife and kids of the most popular athlete in the americas they all seem very grounded. for that matter bronny seems to me like less of an entitled person than his dad when he grew up probably getting anything he wanted and his dad,it's the opposite...
Im officially old😢
Bruh what! I feel like a proud granddad over here watching Bron from the beginning and now Jr lol
I’m old too lol
Same lol
Time flying 😢
Me too bro it’s all good 😭
Just come home.
To Cleveland Ohio.
We have your back
He Parents clearly raised him well
I believe the kid is gonna be good. I also believe he's going to lead the league in steals one day. He's very defensive oriented even for his size
we got secure Bron voice for at least 10 yrs more
Me I believe his defense will separate him from a lot of names...I feel his defense is his greatest strength 💪💪💪 tell me who's trying to play tenacious defense other than n***** like Pat Evan defenses what makes you gifted in the game,he nice...showing me flashes of his dad... You guys don't remember them chase down blocks that he was coming with.... I'm cheering for the young man...#UncleEGaming
Nah he ain’t.. hopefully he does but he probably won’t
I think he grew up soft and will play soft.
@@boss-anovaI think you have a lot of prejudice.
He sounds just like his Dad, whether you like LBJ or not, he’s raised a great kid.
Narcissist don’t love their kids
@@My-Tvphxbro stfu you sound crazy what’s wrong with y’all.
@@My-TvphxNext level hating saying bro don’t like his own kids💀
@@My-Tvphxaye man, just cause UT dad might be one, don't project ur insecurities here. Go get some help
@@My-Tvphxyou need therapy for your trauma 😂😂
When a kid is raised RIGHT, mannerable, respectful, and decent you gotta commend the PARENTS for doing such a great JOB with the development of their child. I thank GOD I had both parents around who taught me to conduct myself the right way and not the wrong way.
Yo that voice switch from 8:37 to 8:47
The Haliburton effect!! 😂
Shine bro 💯🫱🏾🫲🏽
" Extremely grateful for everything given to me" good kid, and knows what's up.
This young man is definitely ready for the NBA
People who are saying his father is the reason he gets opportunities is wild, Michael Jordan has 2 sons that played college basketball why didn't they get this same opportunity? I think the kid has the right motor and could actually be a great pro player, people just need to let the kid live because if they could have this opportunity they would take it as well.
And Marcus was nice at ucf
Because Jordan wasn’t actively playing and hinting at playing with his son. While still being a great player.
THANKKKKKK YOUUUU
@@LeonR97 so? He's the GOAT right?
And let me get this straight everybody made because his pops got the opportunity to play in the nba . So I guess if you trying to get job where your friend works he or she should keep there mouth shut 🤦🏿
Junior got good media training
Nah, if you listen to LeBron back when he was poor he was eloquent as well. He probably does receive it but I doubt he ever needed it. He group up in the limelight.
That “ummm, I really don’t know” sounded just like bron james !!
B+ for Bronny’s first public interview 👍🏿. Public Speaking (oral communication) will become better; just watch the jargon, umms, you know what I saying (mean), etc📚.
Gratitude! This kid has it all yet he prides himself on being thankful for everything! Let's go Bronny!
This was a great listen. You can tell he really values his opportunities and want to make a name for himself. Hearing how grateful he is for everything is amazing. Makes me even more of a fan than I was before.
Super mature.
Golden how he handled this press conference!
When he said yup at the end. Like father like son 😂
He’s done the best he’s can to get in shape since the season. Looks like he’s prepared for the grind regardless if he goes back to college.
He was 185 during college now he’s 210 he def been working
He definitely had to get back into basketball shape since he missed most of the season with cardiac arrest
@@JordanPratt-is7llno he was listed at 210 all year at college idk where u had 185 from
@@JordanPratt-is7llbeen listed at 190lbs since his senior year of highschool had even started
You can tell this is just everyday for him. Being compared, being criticized, he’s already experienced it all and still shows composure. Atleast rn he’s ready for the hatred the league brings 💯
“Stuff like that” 😅 I remember when I used to say this a lot. U learn to find ways to improve your vocabulary as u get older as ppl point out start that u always say. Hearing him say this phrase took me back to my late teenage yrs…and I’m jot even old fr fr. Keep going Bronny.
After hearing him talk, i honestly believe this kid belongs to the NBA. He will win rings
Lebron raised him the opposite of how lavar ball raised his kids 🤣🤣🤣
Fr 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🫠😩
I'm rooting for him. Kid living out his dream and those who never had their father in life will quick to say "he's there because of his dad" 😒
He's here because of his dad
He averages 5 points and 2 assists a game ..... Let's not act like we don't know what's going on here. No need to hate him or dislike him but the top players in this year's NBA Draft don't get covered or talked about because none are from James Gang.
@@OfficiallyOrca he in the way.
Most of the league consists of former player kids.... and it's not stopping with lebron son lol. Soon you won't be able to get in the nba unless you are a generational talent. If u just a regular player, those spots will be taken by former players family
@DonB1201 I like when you have to earn your way in, Jordan didn't put his son in the league,you gotta earn it. I think Lebron younger son got some game tho
Great interview
Perfect interview!
Respectful kid and fully transparent. Ill be rooting for Bronny. Keep being u always bro.
He is literally the perfect blend of his parents. More like Savannah from the front view and more like LeBron from the side view.

Why does every interview have a massive zoom in and back out moment
“STUFF LIKE THAT”
As a guy who watched your dad when he was in high-school I'm 34. I'm a now your fan bronny . What makes your story so great. U aren't 6ft 9 to be compared to your dad. MAKE YOUR OWN LANE.I think you could be a allstar oneday. I'm not a yes man. I would tell you like it is. You could be great if you work work work on your handle. If you do that you could score be a more athletic Garland. It's up to you. I'm gonna be here because of the hate I read. An for your brand embrace the scare on your chest. It's wat should drive you unlike any other person.
He ain’t gonna read this bro
More blessings to this young man,am praying for him
BRONNY 😍👍♥️ LAKERS 😳 KOBE 😁👌🏆💸
I imagine he would be drafted a lot higher pick if he was 6ft 9 though!
His lil bro top 10 fasho #Bryceiscoming
Sounds like that was Kevin Durant questioning him about preparation.
It is. Had to play it back
When
It probably was, not like he as anything better to do this time of year
Timestamp ?
2:04
This kid about to make so much money off the haters 😂 crazy!
@5:21 “they haven’t seen what I’ve been through.”
Almost had it all snatched from him before he could even get a good start, and just put up a top tier combine performance.
I guess umm runs in the family.🤣
Big King James fan but this is so true…
All you need a good speech coach. Everyone is like this and I am sure you are no different.
Brain moving a billion miles per sec
I’m just waiting for “whatever the case may be” and “things of that nature” lol
Is umm the same with you know like they tend to say it while talking
Proper mindset, skills, basketball IQ, genes, support, resources, and excellent attitude and personality. This kid will be somebody in the NBA in years to come.
4 points in 19 min today at the scrimmage. He’s definitely going to be amazing 😅😅
I love everything I am hearing. The tone, the demeanor, the self awareness and maturity. You go do you thing young king 🤴🏽
they should have a running counter on how many times he say "stuff like that" 😂😂😂
They should run counters on Everytime the orange dude..says he did nothing wrong, or witch hunt...or political persecution!
I wish him the best. I hope he flourishes in the league
Seems like a cool dude
I can see Bronny developing similarly to a DeAaron Fox style of play in the years to come
Be real
awesome interview
Very well spoken 👏🏾 good luck on your journey young man
He's a good kid that's humble idk why he gets so much hate he's clearly got the talent he's just gotta put it together
It’s called jealousy lol
He literally doesn’t. I looked through all these comments and no one is hating on him. Quit making up narratives bro
Its because people don't like his dad that's why
@@albuquerquehotspot7835naw they been hating
@@Amb252 yall are delusional
“And stuff like that”

First time hearing the boy voice lol
Let’s go Bronny!!!
Baby goat
Pulling for this kid. All the best bro
Love the positive mindset.
A young man with a long future ahead of him. Very wise responses. ❤
He looks like Immanuel Quickley at the combine lol
It has got to be so annoying to hear constant comparisons and references to your dad whenever someone has a camera in your face.
Thats the media for you but he gonna play his game not let those people mess his head up
I want you to write the man's full name and then tell me why youre stupid.
Dude been prepared for this since he was born . All his seen half of his life is the internet and people shitting on his dad .
Im sure he expected this, it is really annoying tho. Wouldn’t surprise me if lebron talked to him about this happening
Sounds like he’s grateful
So now I get it, it is stuff like that.
I've gone back and forth for years with beards. Even at my best, it's a fraction of what you rock. However, I love it and I'm proud of mine! I started taking care of it like a decade ago using store bought products and not using them correctly, as I've learned watching your videos. I discovered your channel 2 years ago and you are definitely the trusted teacher. I get compliments frequently and that's a great feeling!
Never know what the future holds... maybe the Austin Spurs can develop him in the G league and one day he can move up to the San Antonio Spurs roster and be throwing lobs to Wemby.
Mark this comment as a special one
This kid auditioned for the role. 👏 👏 👏
😊😊😊😊 “stuff like that” is crazy 😂😂
He say um after every sentence like his pops
Good luck kid . Go far
