During the Los Angeles Lakers' summer league training camp, 20-year-old Bronny James chose to stay focused and calm in the face of various rumors about his father LeBron James' future movements.

Bronny responded with a smile: "I really don't pay attention to those things. My friend called to ask my dad what he thought, and I can only say that I don't know what he is talking about. I am only focusing on myself now."

With LeBron's decision to exercise his $52.6 million player option, his 23rd NBA campaign is a foregone conclusion. However, his agent announced the news by noting that LeBron still aspires to win the championship and that the team is building around Luka Doncic, sparking speculation about whether the Los Angeles Lakers will make a trade.

Bronny was not affected by these issues at all. He admitted that his father also encouraged him to ignore the external noise and focus on the present: "He always reminds me not to care about those things, just focus on what I am doing. That is the key to my progress and staying focused."

Currently, Bronny is actively preparing for the summer league, aiming to become a member of the Los Angeles Lakers' rotation in the new season. Bronny said that compared to the nervousness he felt when he first played last year, he will play with a more mature mentality this time, pursuing to play his performance without pressure.

In addition, Bronny also emphasized the importance of physical fitness and defense. He has controlled his weight to 215 pounds and continues to improve his endurance. In order to become the team's defensive leader, he is willing to devote himself to it.

Bronny added: “I know I’m not the best scorer on the court, but as long as I can stand on the court with defense, that’s my value.”
