LeBron James Jr., that’s a name that must not always be easy to bear. But beyond a few negative points, Bronny seems to have rather good memories of his youth, and in particular on one particular point.

Being called LeBron James Jr. must not have been easy every day for Bronny…

Indeed, because he shares the name of one of the best players of all time and because he loves basketball, it has always been the subject of expectations that are not necessarily realistic.

Whether in high school or at USC, some expected to see the reincarnation of the King on the floor.

And because he is not necessarily the prodigy hoped for, many detractors today believe that he arrived in the NBA solely on the strength of his name.

His athletic qualities are regularly relegated to the background, as if he were not a fierce defender and a potential trigger in attack.

Moreover, the simple fact of getting there despite the exacerbated attention of the fans testifies to a great mental strength.

Bronny James Talks Youth with LeBron

Once all that has been said, Bronny James is also not to be pitied, he who never lacked for anything.

And during his appearance on the Complex media YouTube channel , he notably revealed the coolest part of his youth under the same roof as an NBA superstar.

He certainly had to be the most stylish of them all when he went to school

It was always special for me to choose my shoes and outfits for back to school.

Among all the opportunities my father gave me, when I was little, he always allowed me to buy the shoes I wanted the most.

I think I haven’t been to a specialty store since before COVID, and honestly, now it’s almost too much for me. There are too many choices.

I think in our family, we’re all really into sneaker culture, but Bryce is the one who’s going to do the most research on the models.

Then, I once wore several socks to fit into my dad’s shoes. I wish I had bigger feet to fit into his whole collection. It would be better than a store.

When he was young, Bronny James didn’t have to worry about clothing, his father always gave him what he wanted, especially for the start of the school year.

That’s the advantage of living with the icon of a brand as prestigious as Nike. And today, if he wears several pairs of socks, he can have access to the King’s XXL collection.

From a young age, Bronny had access to exclusive shoes and clothing, all thanks to his father’s connection to Nike. His passion for sneakers continues today, except he can afford what he wants.
