Stephen A. Smith criticizes LeBron for pushing Bronny into NBA too soon

Stephen A. Smith criticized LeBron James for pushing his son, Bronny, into the NBA too soon. He argued that this pressure has hindered Bronny's development, especially after a modest college performance and a health scare in 2023. Bronny was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers as the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, despite averaging only 4.8 points per game in college. His debut has raised concerns about his readiness for the NBA. To aid his development, the Lakers plan to send Bronny to their G-League affiliate for more playing time. This decision reflects the belief that he needs further experience before making a significant impact in the NBA.
