We\u2019re talking about somebody where you can make a legitimate argument that there is no one who has done more for the game of basketball in the modern era. Yes, I can be critical about some jump shooting, yes I can be critical about him having a podcast when he knows his coach is on the hot seat and stuff like that. But make no mistake about it, I don\u2019t slip when it comes to recognising a) his greatness and b) what he has meant for the game of basketball. He\u2019s earned the right to facilitate [Bronny] being a teammate of his [on the Lakers]\u2026Let\u2019s understand \u2013 while Bronny has a lot to prove and we\u2019re wishing him nothing but the best and all the luck in the world, LeBron James has earned the right to have the kind of cache that can manipulate the proceedings to such a degree. This man is one of the top one \/ two best players in the history of basketball; but what he has achieved as an ambassador for the game, he\u2019s earned the right to have himself in this situation for his son to be on that basketball court with him. If it was somebody else, we wouldn\u2019t be saying it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LeBron spoke about the moment he took the court with Bronny, which was made all the special as it was Bronny\u2019s 20th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a father, it means everything,\u201d LeBron said. \u201cFor someone who didn\u2019t have that growing up, to be able to have that influence on your kids, have that influence on your son, have those moments with your son. Then ultimately, to be able to work with your son \u2013 it\u2019s one of the greatest things a father could ever hope for or wish for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen A.
