Photo: Instagram/Bronny James   NBA legend LeBron James has taken to social media to voice his displeasure with the media's relentless scrutiny of his son, Bronny James , and the speculative reports surrounding the young basketball player's potential NBA draft position. Bronny James, the offspring of the former No. 1 overall NBA draft pick, has been in the spotlight due to fluctuating projections in recent mock drafts.

This triggered widespread discussions among fans and media, leading many to question whether this implied a prolonged stay for Bronny at USC. LeBron James, however, was quick to admonish the speculation in now-deleted tweets, urging people to let his son enjoy his college basketball experience. He emphasized that mock drafts should not be overvalued and that the focus should be on hard work and real on-court results. Photo: Instagr
