LeBron and Bronny James turned down historic All-Star offer
NY Post
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.

The Mets could sure use another starting pitcher — as well as a few other additions to their bullpen and lineup — and Wednesday’s starter for the Brewers in their win in the first game of a doubleheader at Citi Field, Freddy Peralta, would seem to fit the bill.

The worst team in baseball since Friday the 13th of June caught a rare break when Tuesday night’s game versus the consistently feisty and perennially overachieving Brewers was postponed. The surprise cancellation spared the sagging Mets another potential loss, and for 18 more hours halted the worst kind of negative momentum an alleged playoff team could possibly have.
