LeBron and Bronny James turned down historic All-Star offer

Bronny James has spoken — if indirectly — and he says he’s got bigger goals than playing puppet at the NBA All-Star game. 

“LeBron James and Bronny James were sought out by the league … to participate in the Skills Challenge during All-Star Weekend,” NBA insider Chris Haynes said Thursday, “but I was told that invitation was turned down.”

Bronny was also invited to play with the G-League Rising Stars team, but that offer was declined as well, Haynes reports.

LeBron, 40, and Bronny, 20, would have become the first father-son duo to compete alongside one another in the Skills Competition. 

And while that’s history, sure, it’s chump-history compared to that which the Jameses made at the beginning of the season when they became the first father-son duo to share an NBA court.

So, while the elder James will be jet-setting out to the rat-infested Paris of the West to buddy up with the league’s other All-Stars — including the first Knickerbocker starting duo in 50 years — his first-born will be at home. Or, more likely, the gym.
