Austin Rivers Believes Bronny James Would Be Better Off Not Playing With LeBron

To play with his dad or not to play with his dad is the Shakespearean question for USC’s Bronny James.

Amid speculation that Bronny James intends to declare for the 2024 NBA Draft and somehow find his way to his father, LeBron James, on the Los Angeles Lakers next season, Rivers explained why a family reunion in the NBA may not be the best thing for Bronny.

“I hope it doesn’t happen,” Rivers said on ESPN on Monday. “I don't want to see Bronny play with his dad, I really don’t. I went through something similar…What happens is a lot of people start to discredit everything you’ve done.”
