No matter what happens to James and the NBA, he has a story worth talking about.
Firstly, he grew up under the shadow of his father LeBron, perhaps the greatest basketball player of all time.
James fought hard to make a name for himself and become a star in his own right, no matter how hard that was.
Things got terrifying and complicated before James’ sole year with USC because he had a cardiac arrest episode and was forced to miss months of playing.
In fact, some people thought he’d never be able to play basketball again.
But Bronny got expert medical help and was able to come back and eventually got drafted by the Lakers.
Now he is dealing with a new set of challenges because he is trying to live up to big expectations and earn his minutes as a rookie.
He hasn’t blown away any fans yet and there have been several weak performances from James but there is hope he can improve.
No one knows where this story ends but it’s gotten off to a memorable and historic start.
