 NBA news. LeBron James says his son and newly signed Los Angeles Lakers guard, Bronny James, does not care about the critics. In a recent interview with ESPN, the 39-year-old compared how he handled his rookie year of criticism to how his son is currently handling it, saying he doesn't care. LeBron went on to explain he actually wanted to be liked when he entered the league in 2003 and was bothered by critiques about his game. Bronny, on the other hand, is his complete opposite and, quote, doesn't listen to the stuff, James said.
