Kevin Garnett compares Bronny James potential to Kobe Bryant
Garnett compared James to NBA legend Kobe Bryant, saying the potential is there even though James didn’t have the most accomplished high school or college career. “[Bryant] had great bones and great makeup to build off of,” Garnett said. “Bronny shows some of that same make. I’m not calling him young Kobe or none of that, but I’m saying that’s potential.”

Anthony Edwards has been compared to all time greats like Kobe and Michael Jordan. That might be a bit premature. But there’s one area the 22-year old is already ahead of them—leadership espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 1:13 PM

Bronny James after Wednesday’s action at #NBA Draft combine.
Three thoughts:
1. Jrue Holiday, Davion Mitchell potential on defense?
2. Says he’s comfortable at one or two. Can James be a starting point guard in the NBA down the road?
3. Sounds just like his dad, LeBron James. pic.twitter.com/kw1QHE2Hbb – 5:32 PM

More on this storyline
Garnett also said that drafting LeBron James’ son could be worth it due to his genes alone. “If I am a team bro, I would actually take a chance on that,” Garnett said. “Because greatness runs through bro’s veins. You got to know at some point, he’s going to have a growth spurt and it’s going to click.” -via Bleacher Report / May 18, 2024

Bronny James revealed what he believes his NBA 2K rating should be for the upcoming edition of the popular basketball video game. During a sit-down with Bleacher Report, the young prospect was asked about his ideal rating. “I feel like I deserve a respectable 80, 81,” Bronny responded. -via BasketNews / May 18, 2024
Yet Bronny, in these nearly 20 minutes, was not good. He went 2 for 8. He missed all four of his three-pointers. He had almost as many turnovers (3) as points (4). The game reflected that severe uncertainty I’ve heard from several scouts and NBA executives who filed through L.A. this past college hoops season to watch Bronny during his time at USC. That he’s not good enough, yet. That he needs a year or two more in college to give him a real shot at NBA success. That even then he may fail. -via CBSSports.com / May 17, 2024
