Ken Griffey Jr. can relate to the unique situation Bronny James finds himself in with the Los Angeles Lakers. Griffey Jr. made sports history back in 1990 when he and his father, Ken Griffey Sr., became the first father-son pair to play for the same team in a Major League Baseball game. Similarly, Bronny James recently entered the history books alongside his father, LeBron James, a star player for the Lakers, by being part of the same NBA team.
Griffey Jr. offered Bronny some straightforward advice based on his own experiences. He said, “I did tell Bronny to just relax, enjoy it, be you. You are not gonna be him. Nobody is him. When I got there, my dad told me that this is your team, I am just here. And he was dad at the house and teammate at the ballpark. But like I said, there were times that I rode home with mom. It was much safer.”
Griffey Jr. further emphasized the learning opportunity Bronny has by being in such close proximity to his father during games. He explained, “You’re gonna learn a lot by being able to sit there and be on the bench watching him. People say he needs to be in the G-League and he needs this and that. I’ll tell you what, I learned more sitting there watching my dad than anything.”
Following in the footsteps of a father who is considered one of the all-time greats in basketball is undoubtedly challenging. Bronny James has expressed his desires to carve out his own niche and continues to strive towards improving himself and advancing in his nascent NBA career.
