Stephen A. Smith has seemingly had enough of Bronny James playing in the NBA and has urged LeBron James to apparently stop pushing his son for something for which he is not ready.

Ever since he was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, fans and pundits have been critical of guard

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, received his second rotation minutes of the season on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Sports pundit Stephen A. Sith has pleaded with Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James to prevent his son, Bronny James, from playing in the NBA.

LeBron and Bronny made NBA history on Oct. 22 when they became the first father and son to play together during the Lakers’ season-opening win over Minnesota. Bronny then scored his first NBA basket for the Lakers in Cleveland on Oct. 30 at the arena where he watched his father as a child.

So, while the elder James will be jet-setting out to the rat-infested Paris of the West to buddy up with the league’s other All-Stars — including the first Knickerbocker starting duo in 50 years — his first-born will be at home. Or, more likely, the gym.

Bronny James got real rotational minutes for the first time this season in the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Bronny played 15 minutes, some of them alongside LeBron James,

Sports analyst and host Stephen A. Smith called out LeBron James for “exposing” his son Bronny, in light of the recent lackluster performance of the young player in a game of the Lakers against the Sixers.

If the Lakers are hoping to develop rookie Bronny James into a true NBA-caliber player, they're not going about it correctly.
