LeBron James' Mom Shares Emotional Message To Bronny James After Lakers Signing

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James broke the internet when he was selected with the No. 55 overall pick by L.A. in the 2024 NBA draft. The 19-year-old prospect received a ton of fan reactions, but one of them stood atop the crowd. His grandmother, LeBron James' mom, Gloria James, went to Instagram to share an emotional message to Bronny.

"Over the years of his life, I’ve watched him grow into the AMAZING young man that he is today. And how proud and how honored I am to be his grandmother. I’m truly happy that you’re able to live out your dream of one day playing in the NBA."

This was only part of her lengthy message, where she shared some of her initial thoughts on the NBA draft while also posting a classic LeBron comment.

"Continue to 'Strive For Greatness and New Heights,'" continued Gloria.

LeBron has always been vocal about the James family having a tight bond. They've been in the spotlight ever since LeBron was a high school phenom in Akron. Bronny grew up with the bright lights and now gets to live out his NBA dream alongside his father in Hollywood.

The USC Trojans product averaged 4.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in his freshman season just before declaring for the 2024 draft. He is set to bring quality perimeter defense and three-point-shooting ability to a team looking to compete for an NBA title next season.

Bronny recently inked his rookie contract with the Lakers, agreeing to a four-year $7.9-million deal.
