Anthony: "In a couple years, Bronny going to be a real NBA player. Like, a real, real solid NBA player."

Among them Bronny ranks:

Considering Anthony is one of the best players of all time, NBA fans will likely enjoy hearing his bold take about Bronny.

The future Hall of Famer also spent time with LeBron James on the Lakers during the 2021-22 season.
