Celtics' superstar Jaylen Brown was caught on camera giving an honest assessment of Bronny, the son of Lakers superstar LeBron James.
Jaylen Brown attended the Celtics-Lakers Summer League game in Las Vegas, where he shared his honest opinion about Bronny James, LeBron James' son.
Brown was caught on camera saying, "Honestly, I don't think Bronny is a pro." When Kysre Gondrezick suggested Bronny would end up in the G League, Brown responded, "I don't think so, I think because of his name he'll be on the Lakers."

Josh Okogie: Nigerian NBA star signs ₦26 billion deal with Phoenix Suns
Nigerian NBA star Josh Okogie signs a ₦26 billion naira deal to stay with Phoenix Suns until 2026.
Is Bronny James ready for the NBA
This comment went viral and drew criticism from Lakers fans. Brown later clarified his statement on social media, saying,
"It's a flex to have your son alongside you in the NBA, it reflects greatness and longevity. Bronny has all the tools around him to be successful, I look forward to watching his growth."
Brown's initial comment was likely influenced by Bronny's underwhelming performance, scoring just two points off 1-for-5 shooting in the Lakers' 88-74 loss to the Celtics.
Despite the backlash, Brown's assessment sparked a conversation about nepotism in the NBA and the challenges of living up to a legendary family name.
