LeBron James Reacts To Bronny James’ First Tattoo (Photos)

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is one of the greatest NBA players of all time. In addition to that, though – he is also a very doting father.

This week, LeBron’s eldest son Bronny James decided to get his first ever tattoo.

Understandably, dad didn’t shy away from reacting to the decision.

The photos largely speak for themselves:

It’s also clear what LeBron’s reaction is: total approval. First there is the artist’s caption: “Thank you very much for the trust, @kingjames.” And then there is the fact that LeBron has used the same tattoo artist for his own ink:

Big picture, this is a crazy period in Bronny’s life. So it makes sense he would want to commemorate it. College is just around the corner, and then maybe the NBA.

A dark horse university just emerged as a legitimate suitor for him last week. And then prior to that, four extremely prominent college basketball dynasties were linked to Bronny as well.

Bronny is an extremely intriguing hoops prospect. He very recently nosedived in the national rankings, though it’s unclear how much that will actually impact him.

Equally ambiguous is why the decline occurred.

Besides size comparisons between him and 15-year-old brother, Bryce, nothing has actually changed. That said, size does matter more as you play college ball and beyond (as Michael Jordan’s brother can attest to), so maybe that’s why NBA scouts view Bryce as the better prospect.

Nevertheless, for all the doubts about Bronny’s career, he has just as many proponents. Some scouts believe he has very legitimate potential to make an impact at the next level.

Bronny is also extremely mentally tough. You have to be resilient to deal with he scrutiny he has faced. Between his divisive pictures with his new girlfriend and his alleged part in Russell Westbrook joining the Lakers, it has been one thing after another. And yet through it all he has remained strong and never waivered.

Time will tell what sort of player Bronny will ultimately become.

But at the moment – he is definitely doing everything right.
