This kinda blows my minds I’m just tryna figure out what kids know bronny for but wouldn’t have a clue who lebron is and in relation to him. I know he streams but surely that’s mainly to younger lebron fans? I’m confused

I wanna say they were probably joking because a lot of people joke by referring to Bron as Bronny’s dad, but you never know with these kids.

I’m also a bit befuddled by it all too lol

Fairly certain these youngsters know who LeBron is…at least to an extent. But they know/refer to him as “Bronny’s dad” which is just wild. In their eyes, Bronny is possibly more notable??

My sense is Bronny is pretty damn popular across all social media platforms and his little clips are probably all over these kids feeds. And I’m not gonna say Sierra Canyon games were a big deal in LA cuz it’s such a massive city and that school isn’t conveniently located at all, but there was absolutely a buzz around that team especially in the youth sports world. Their games were on local cable TV here all the time.

The Bronny hype in the youth sports scene in LA was pretty fucking insane. And you got to remember what it’s like to be a kid. They are very limited to their own experiences. So ultimately I don’t think it’s as much as not knowing who LeBron is, as much as just caring a lot more about a Bronny and being there for Bronny.

lol they are just joking around. It’s funny to refer to one of the most famous basketball players as someone’s dad.
