Bronny James at just 6 years old interrupted the interview of his mother, Savannah James, to tell her that he would be in the NBA like LeBron James.
Bronny James is less than 2 years away from being drafted into the NBA, a goal of his that would put him in the league at the same time as his father, LeBron James. The 4x Finals MVP has long said that he wants to see not only his eldest son, but also his middle son, Bryce Maximus, come into the league and play with them.
The contrast between what LeBron wants for his kids and what his wife, Savannah James, wants for them is pretty hilarious. While the former openly admits his need to play with them in the NBA, Savannah has repeatedly said that she just wants them to be happy.
Bronny James has fluctuated in his Class of 2023 ranking this past year. He went down to 60 a couple of months ago and would go back up to 40 on ESPN. As of late August 2022, he stands at a respectable rank of 35 for his class.
It’s clear he’s put in an incredible amount of work to get to this point. What’s moving to see is that it’s a job he’s been willing to do since he was just 6 years old.

Bronny James teased Savannah James during an interview about her future success in the NBA.
Savannah James did an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in 2010 when the James family had just moved from their home state of Ohio to Miami, Florida. In this interview, she would talk about everything from her trust in LeBron James to staying in Ohio because Bronny James had just started her studies.
The interview was conducted in his home with his mother and two children present in the house. While she was answering questions, 6-year-old Bronny would hilariously interrupt her and yell: “I’m going to play in the NBA!”
In response, Savannah told the interviewer: “He sees his dad playing and he thinks it’s cool. But he can do whatever he wants to do in life. He doesn’t have to follow in his father’s footsteps.”
This is incredibly good advice from her and it seems that he wants to follow in his father’s footsteps. Unlike other sons of NBA players, Bronny not only doesn’t seem pressured, but he’s good at it, too.
