In this special 300th episode of the series, Bronny James went Sneaker Shopping with Complex’s Joe La Puma at SoleStage in Los Angeles. He talked about Nike LeBrons, playing in Kobes, and the viral pic of him wearing Travis Scott sneakers on the eve of the NBA draft.
“My dream has always just been to put my name out, make a name for myself, and get to the NBA, which is everyone’s end goal that’s here,” Bronny James said before participating in the NBA draft combine and working out for the Lakers and Suns, via Michael Scotto. “I never thought about just playing with my dad, but of course he’s brought it up a couple of times. But yeah, I don’t think about it much.”
Bronny James, a former McDonald’s All-American, played in 24 games as a true freshman, averaging 4.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists a game.
It can’t be ignored that while getting to the NBA is rightly a central point of focus for Bronny James, his desire to get to the league quickly — rather than in a year, when his game might be more fully cultivated — is a main reason so many people are skeptical about his NBA readiness. Wanting to get to the NBA and choosing the right time to enter the NBA are two different things.
