LeBron James Jr. Is 14. He Already Draws Curious Crowds.

He draws crowds because people think they will see LeBron. This is exactly what happened a month ago at a tournament in my home town. Word spread as if an alien leader might be in the gym. They all wanted to see LeBron, not his son.

Appears he'll not have a childhood or any sort of privacy. His father has evidently already chosen his life for him. He speaks for him all the time and put together his high school super team. That's responsible parenting? Sounds more like shades of Marv and Todd Marinovich to me. Good luck, Bronny.

I'm still waiting for Magic Johnsons son to make it to the NBA.

I watched LeBron James grow up living in Akron Ohio all those years. I saw he go to the Cavs, leave the Cavs and then come back and pay forward what he received from Akron itself. He could never afford to go to The High School he went to. He was mentored and sheltered by a coach who saw what he could be given good level direction. I admire LeBron James because many boys who were him would not have become what he is, a good decent and giving person. His son is not lucky, he is blessed to have such a supportive FAMILY and anyone who questions the decisions he and his family make should keep their comments to themselves.

Thank you laBron for being the father you did not have. Bronny is lucky to have such a supportive family!

I am a little surprised that Bronny is not playing for Akron St. Vincent St. Mary, given that school has sent a whole lot of cats to the NFL and NBA. But LBJ wanted to set himself up in Hollywood. In addition, St. Vincent's schedule is no longer packed with talented teams in the greater Akron area. Now they have to play teams from California, Pennsylvania, Cincinnati and Toledo for top competition. Alas, Akron ain't Akron anymore. There have been four guys who had quadruple doubles in the NBA. Two of them are from the Akron area, and not one of them is named LeBron James. Cleveland-Akron-Canton was known for football. But northeastern Ohio had a wealth of quality high school basketball. For St. V's, it was often the urban City Ball versus rural Barn Ball at tournament time, and it was fascinating. There have been rumors that Bronny was gonna check out the Arizona Wildcats down in Tucson. That would be good. He could be his own man, and then play a lot of games in the PAC12 on the west coast. It worked for Luke Walton.

It was a nice story. Bronny will have to deal with many issues because of his dad. It would be wonderful if he could have a normal life. I am not a huge basketball fan, However, LeBron is one of the greatest basketball talents in the new NBA era. Maybe the greatest. I wish Bronny well and hope he becomes the person God made him to be.

At 14, kids need to be be blowing bubbles, not living inside one.

I saw the sports news today - oh boy... Just what every fourteen year old needs - hype, celebrity, endorsements, media and on, and on... It's almost like abuse... Le-ave him a childhood...

I hope he grows

Please let Junior be. I know we're all deeply curious about what kind of player he may become, compared to his superstar Dad. But he's just a kid. Imagine the pressure. And who's saying that he'll even want to be an NBA player six or seven years from. He certainly has a ringside seat on the pluses and minuses of being in the spotlight. Unlike his Dad, he has all the advantages money and access can bring. Junior's got choices. Let him make them.

I like the sweatshirt Bronny is wearing. I gotta try it!

the heights to which we prop athletes up for playing a game is equally perplexing as the lengths to which some people go and personally invest themselves in just watching. James to his credit has done some good things with his fame. props to him and especially his son for not taking such exposure as an excuse to be a prima donna. At least based on this article.

It is refreshing to read a lighter story today. Whether this young man goes on to play basketball or not; I sense his father's influence will ensure that he in a contributing member of society and this is the dream of all parents for their children.

Basketball is great. Very few players are good enough to get a college scholarship so they can get an education. Far, far fewer will ever make a living playing professionally. Games like these have been played for years, but the crowds and attention they are drawing, for 14 year olds? is so unhealthy, mentally, for these kids. Their egos just can't handle it properly. And again, most of them won't "make it" via basketball. This world we've become where it seems everyone aspires to be famous, or follow someone who's famous for being famous, just ain't good.

How awesome it would be if Bronny were to be as good as his father. It would be more frosting on the King's cake!

Can we leave this 14 year old alone for a couple of years?

It seems that LeBron Sr.has done a great job raising a well balanced son whose feet are solidly on the ground except when he is shooting a jump shot.

You Can't Teach Heart and LeBron Jr. just like his pops has got boatloads of it.

Nothing better to do than go to a ballgame and heckle a 14- year-old kid? Get a life.

The young man does not have to play sports but it's safer than football. College education would be first followed by could he compete on the highest level.It would be nice for him to discover the strife of others and not be sheltered by celebrity.
