LeBron James

LeBron James’ son Bronny James is a big gamer, but he couldn’t stand it when Corinna Kopf called him LeBron Jr. during a streaming of GTA 5.

Bronny was recently featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated for his gaming prowess as a member of the esports organization FaZe clan.

LeBron even spoke about Bronny’s love for gaming, saying that it was ‘thing’ despite his passion for basketball and love for his family:

“BRONNY PLAYS VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY. I MEAN, HE LOVES BASKETBALL, HE PLAYS BASKETBALL, LOVES BEING A BIG BROTHER TO HIS LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTER. BUT VIDEO GAMES IS HIS THING.”

He was recently streaming GTA 5 game play with Corinna Kopf, but things got a little bit heated midway through when Corinna called him LeBron Jr.

Bronny definitely has some tough expectations that people will want him to leave up to. All of that comes because of his father’s success in the NBA.

The Lakers legend is in conversations for the greatest basketball player of all time with Michael Jordan, and the fact that Bronny is named after him (LeBron Raymon James Jr. is his real name) doesn’t help.

As a result, he calls himself (and most people refer to him this way) as Bronny, to try and build his own identity, separate from his father. So, when he was streaming GTA 5 with some of his friends and famous American Vlogger Corinna Kopf, he got a little angry when she called him LeBron Jr. You can watch the video here:

The conversation takes place at about 42 seconds.
