Bronny James was one of the most talked about prospects at this year’s NBA Scouting Combine.
James met with the media at the combine and asked a rapid succession of questions. One of his questions brought up his one-on-one virtual games with NBA players. “If he could challenge any NBA player one-on-one, who would it be and why?” the reporter asked.
“LeBron James, because I haven’t played a minute one-on-one with him,” Bronny replied.

“My dream was always to get my name out there, make a name for myself, and of course go to the NBA,” Bronny James said Tuesday. “I never thought about playing with my dad, but of course he brought it up a few times.
“This is a serious business. I don’t think it’s possible to think, ‘I’m going to draft this kid just to get a father.'” I don’t think a GM would really allow that, but I’ve tried. I think I’ll be drafted not just for the player I am, but for the person I am. ”
