    they brought up his accolades and Doc's accolades vs Lebron's accolades as if that's relevant on what he said.

    Dad is dad and not necessarily your hero. When Michael Jordan's eldest son was just a lad, he said BJ Armstrong was his favorite player. It seems LBJ wants his son to follow after him more than the son. I personally think that he smothers him and is not allowing him to grow into being his own person.

    Lebron James & Bronny James are about to play in the league at the same time. Could you imagine if Michael Jordan didn't retire the 3rd time until 2006, when his oldest son Jeffrey Jordan (18) would've been eligible to get drafted that year. Mike's Two sons Jeff & Marcus never even got drafted or even played Minor League Basketball. Ended up just opening up Jordan Brand Shoe Stores in Chicago & Florida. Jeff & Marcus never did what Bronny is about to do this year. Not easy to be the first in NBA History to be the First Father & Son in the NBA at the same time.
