James on Monday night took to Twitter to share his thoughts after saying he watched games via NBA League Pass. Here’s what the tweet read:
“Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I've been watching on league pass today. S*** lightweight hilarious [four sideways laughing emojis].”
Of course, it’s not clear who – or which players – LeBron is referring to, but the comment does line up with what the Los Angeles Lakers star has previously said about wanting to play with his son in the NBA before retiring.
