Bronny James names his top five NBA players of all time

Can you guess which non-LeBron players Bronny had in his list?

Bronny James spoke recently with ESPN, which asked him to rank his favorite NBA players of all time. Unsurprisingly, Bronny first picked his father, LeBron James.

He was asked to name his five favorite NBA players in order from first to fifth, and his father topped the list. Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander rounded out the list. You might notice that’s six playes, not five. Bronny had Edwards and Gilgeous-Alexander tied for fifth, in case you were wondering.

Bronny also named Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr. as his favorite athlete other than his dad. He said that he was star-struck the first time he met Stephen Curry.

The younger James got off to a poor start in summer league play, as he went a combined 6-of-26 from the field and 0-of-12 from 3-point range heading into this week. However, Bronny has since put together his two best games in the summer, finally making a few 3-pointers and scoring in double figures in games against the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers. When Bronny shoots the ball reasonably well, he becomes a well-rounded player, because his defense and off-ball activity are good. His offense is where his game is conspicuously limited. His body also needs to fill out; remember, he would have been a sophomore in college had he stayed in school, so he is still very young and has not hit his physical prime.
