LeBron’s Tweet About His Son Bronny Sends NBA World Into a Tizzy

Nursing a foot injury suffered during the Lakers' 111–108 comeback win over the Mavericks on Feb. 26, Los Angeles forward LeBron James has plenty of time on his hands.

On Monday night, James gave fans a window into his thinking with an unusually candid tweet about the state of the NBA. In a blast to his 52.8 million followers, the league's all-time leading scorer opined that his son, Sierra Canyon (Calif.) guard Bronny James, might be league-ready—partially as a reflection of poor play in the pros this season.

"Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I've been watching on league pass today," James wrote. "S--t lightweight hilarious."

Which cats did James have in mind? Four games were aired on League Pass Monday: 76ers-PacersCeltics-CavaliersTrail Blazers-Pistons, and Raptors-Nuggets

Interestingly, of those eight teams, only Indiana and Detroit have worse records than the 31–34 Lakers.

With James slated to miss an extended period of time, it seems likely that more eyebrow-raising tweets will be hitting NBA fans' timelines in the near future.
