LeBron James and Jaylen Brown are now teammates with the Philadelphia 76ers, which might be just a little awkward at first after something Brown said about James' son, Bronny.
While James called the duo's relationship "pretty respectful" in the winter, he also said he hadn't forgotten about what Brown said about Bronny during 2024 Summer League competition... about him not being a pro basketball player. Oops!

We're sure James and Brown will quickly pave this over as they try to contend for a title in Philly, but it is funny to see how this has all developed from two summers ago. Will Bronny join the two with the 76ers? Time will tell.

For what it's worth, Brown seems thrilled about playing with James on the court.
Why did James choose the 76ers?
The reason makes sense.f
