Bronny James, the 20-year-old rookie for the Los Angeles Lakers, faced a heckler during a recent game against the Denver Nuggets. In a video posted on TikTok, the heckler taunted Bronny, claiming ownership over his father, LeBron James. In response, Bronny coolly remarked, “Your chain is fake,” pointing out the heckler’s flashy gold accessory. This incident is just one example of the scrutiny Bronny faces as he navigates his NBA career, with some critics suggesting he’s only in the league because of his father’s legacy. Despite the criticisms, Bronny remains focused on making his mark in the NBA, averaging 1.4 points per game this season. LeBron James, his father, has been vocal in defending his son against detractors, emphasizing the importance of family support. The father-son duo recently made history by becoming the first to play together in an NBA game, a moment that LeBron treasures as a gift.
