Bronny's comments come a few weeks before the scheduled NBA restart at Walt Disney World on July 30. Out of the players Bronny James mentioned, Durant is the only player who won't be travelling and playing in Orlando. Anthony Davis and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who play for the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks respectively, have led the teams to conference-best records this season. Both teams are considered to be favourites to win the 2019-20 championship.

As per reports, people also commented on Bronny's comments section about the issue, telling him that the Bucks would certainly defeat the Lakers to secure the 2019-20 NBA title. One fan commented using the words 'Bucks in six' while interacting with Bronny James and LeBron James' son respectfully asked the person to leave the comments section. Bronny, who is only 15, is also considered a basketball prodigy who is expected to carry on his father's legacy. In February, Bronny's high school team won the CIF Southern Section Division Championship, which LeBron posted about on Instagram.
