Everyone seeks an underdog story these days. What are the parameters for such a tale? What makes a star truly rare? Some questions might never find their answers. However, one story that remains the perpetual reality of the NBA is LeBron James. In the twilight of his career, he has more experience to offer than ever before. And this time, it’s his boys, Bronny and Bryce, who are learning from one of the best, if not the best, basketball players in the world.
On Mind The Game, the Lakers star told Steve Nash that he has a group chat with his sons. What does James Sr. do there? Send them messages to keep them focused. The only mantra to move ahead for the James brothers seems to be to lock in. Now, LeBron shares the last message he sent his boys, and it looks like he wants them to learn a lot from one of the Boston Celtics’ finest finds. Who? You’ll know in time.
“So I have a group chat with me, Bronny, and Bryce. And you know, from time to time, I’ll send just, you know, things that just, you know, focus them back in. So I sent this on June 18th, 2024,” LeBron James shared. “I’ll tell you who this guy is after I read this: unranked in high school, zero D1 scholarship offers, played three years of Division II basketball at UCCS.” By now, Steve Nash knew who the subject of the conversation.
Bron continued, “Transferred to Colorado and is now the NBA champion. Hell of a player. One of the best teams in the NBA. That guy is Derrick White.”Nash couldn’t help but chip in, “Hell of a player.” Agreeing to the fact, the Akron Hammer added, “And my message was to them: everybody’s road to success is different, so stay locked in and patient. That was my message to my boys last year.”
