After Calling Out LeBron James for Pressuring His Kids, 7x NBA Champion Slams 17 Year Old Bronny With Bold Bryce Claim: “He Just Isn’t As Athletic..”

It’s been a long time since LeBron James said that he wants to play with his son, Bronny James in the NBA. He even recently signed a 2-year extension with the Lakers which will put him in line for free agency when Bronny enters the league. However, 7x NBA champion, Robert Horry, is not very pleased with the situation and decisions.

LeBron has made it clear that he wants to play with Bronny regardless of anything. This has prompted many analysts to say that he will force his way to join the team that drafts Bronny. Even his contract extension is showing in that direction.

But Bronny may not be the only person from the James family who may join the NBA. His younger son, Bryce, has exploded onto the scene this year. And many say he has a higher ceiling than Bronny.

Robert Horry says Bryce is better than Bronny

Robert Horry was on his podcast talking about LeBron and his new contract. Horry’s co-hosts told him it’s time perfectly with when Bronny can enter the NBA. To that, Horry said, “Hold on, is he really gonna hit the draft? People think he’s gonna be one and done… They’re putting too much pressure on that kid. The whole world is like you’re gonna play with your dad in the NBA. That’s too much pressure man”

Then they talk about Bryce and how far along he is. Horry then seems to take a shot at Bronny. And he said,He’ll be better than Bronny. He’s already caught up with Bronny in my opinion, he’s just not as athletic because he’s still growing into his body.” He still talks about how Bryce has a larger skill set than Bronny.

He also talks about LeBron may be putting pressure on him to get to the NBA. Horry says being the son of LeBron James is already enough to live up to and with LeBron saying he wants to play with his son, this may just be piling up on Bronny.

LeBron James is guaranteed to become the highest earner in NBA history

The King not only ensured that he will have a chance to play with his son, but he also made history. With a two-year/$97.1 million, LeBron will become the highest earner in NBA history. He will be the first player who will make over half a billion dollars through salary in NBA history.

And he still has the opportunity to earn more. His final year has a player option and he can also opt-out and can negotiate a higher salary as well. Even though he will become the highest-paid player, LeBron might still not be satisfied.

He still wants to play with his son and will try his best so that it happens. And he will not be bogged down by ex-players trashing his son’s talent by comparing him with his brother.
