Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James has had quite the journey to becoming an NBA star. His experience was recently validated by Carmelo Anthony’s ex-wife, Lala, as she saw how LeBron James’s son inspired his own, Kiyan Anthony, the entire time.
Kiyan, the son of NBA star Carmelo Anthony, recently shared his thoughts on Bronny James being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers. He expressed excitement about Bronny’s achievement, emphasizing that it demonstrates the potential for anyone to succeed in basketball.

Melo’s son acknowledged the advantages Bronny has had, including access to elite training and resources, but he also pointed out that Bronny’s journey was not without its challenges.

This perspective highlights the camaraderie and shared experiences of the sons of basketball legends.
