LeBron James and Gilbert Arenas share a very unique relationship. From on-court rivals to becoming good friends, LeBron once asked Arenas for a second opinion on his son Bronny James. Upon LeBron’s request, Arenas spent some time training with Bronny and soon realized that the kid is going to turn into a whole different beast pretty soon.
Bronny James didn’t have a normal childhood as the whole world touted him as the flagbearer of his father’s legacy. Both Bronny and LeBron are aware of this reality. So as a concerned father, the Los Angeles Lakers legend contacted Arenas to check on Bronny and discuss with him his progress in training. In a recent interview with Fubo Sports, Arenas shared his observation training with Bronny James.

When it came to jumping abilities and passing skills, quite surprisingly, Bronny isn’t far off from the King, according to Arenas’ assessment. In conclusion, the three-time All-Star stated, “I wouldn’t worry about him.”
Gilbert Arenas’ six words turned LeBron James’ son Bronny into a beast
Gilbert Arenas once put Bronny to the test by pitting him against Scottie Clark, who is older than Bronny. As expected, Clark was giving a hard time to Bronny on the court. That was when Arenas fueled Bronny with just six words. He said, “Bronny, you’re just gonna take that?” Bronny replied, “No!”
