LeBron James has made one of the most incredible accomplishments in the history of the NBA.
When the Lakers drafted his son, Bronny, in the second round of the NBA draft, James became the first active NBA player to be on the same team as his son. It’s something almost nobody even considered a possibility.
James recently claimed that he knew Bronny was headed for the NBA since he was five years old, but at least one former NBA all-star in sports media isn’t buying it. In a recent episode of his “Club 520 Podcast” Jeff Teague gave his feelings on LebRon’s claim.
“I f**k with LeBron, I f**k with the whole moment. But the only thing I didn’t feel I was like he said when he was like five years old he seen the n***a and was like yeah, he going to the league, like stop. I love y’all to death, I love your whole family, but bro.”

Fans reacted on social media to Teague’s take on the situation.
“Dudes hating bc Lebron felt his son had the ability to make the league by his skills at an early age. … yep haters will look 4 anything negative .. nothing new here folks,” one fan said on Twitter.
“Best liar in sports,” claimed another.
“He always cappin’…like when he called himself the GOAT,” a fan added.
“LeBron has definitely put a lot of pressure on Bronny, it makes you wonder if he actually truly wanted to play basketball or if he did it cause it was Lebrons dream to play together,” someone added.
It’s refreshing to see James’ contemporaries call out his nonsense. Hopefully holding him accountable for his words forces him to be more truthful with media and fans.
