When it comes to the future of LeBron James, even the decisions of his son Bronny are being analysed. Bill Simmons, a well-known sports commentator, and podcaster has sparked discussions with his recent speculation about Bronny’s college choice and LeBron’s future with the Los Angeles Lakers. As we dive into Simmons’ predictions, let’s explore the possibilities and analyse whether they hold weight.
Simmons said in a podcast that Bronny’s decision could provide insight into where his father, LeBron, may take his talents after his time with the Los Angeles Lakers. According to Simmons if Bronny were to choose USC, it means LeBron will join the Lakers after his contract ends.
“Bronny hasn’t picked a college yet, and I think that’s gonna factor into the LeBron possibilities, too,” Simmons said. “Because if he goes to USC, ‘Well, oh yeah, he’ll be a Laker next year. He’ll wanna go to the USC games.’ But if it’s somewhere outside L.A., that’s gonna make me think.”
Does Simmons’ prediction for LeBron James hold any weight?
Simmons’ theory of LeBron chasing a ring in Dallas with a superteam of Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Draymond Green seems far-fetched. Especially since LeBron is still under contract with the Lakers for next season.
Moreover, even if Bronny chooses a college outside of California, it doesn’t necessarily be the reason why LeBron will leave the Lakers early. And it wouldn’t make sense for him to request a trade given the valuable assets required to be exchanged.
Watching Bronny play college ball can be a priority for LeBron. But it’s unlikely that the father-and-son duo will choose teams solely based on proximity. Ultimately, Bill’s prediction should be taken with a grain of salt.
Whether or not Bronny’s college choice affects LeBron’s post-Lakers plans remains to be seen. There are many factors at play, and a lot can change in the coming years.
Bill Simmons’ prediction may be exciting to entertain. But it’s always wise to take it with a grain of salt. Ultimately, what matters most is that Bronny makes the best choice for him, and LeBron continues to make the decisions helpful to achieve his goals, both on and off the court.
