The former NXT Champion claimed that even the best like LeBron James have a bad night in their Sports. Andrade agreed that the best can have off days. However, he claimed that Melo wasn't LeBron. He added that the young wrestler was more like Bronny James. The fans couldn't get what Andrade meant. There has been a discussion among the netizens about the context of the segment.

Does Bronny James have skills in him?

While some felt Andrade meant to say Melo was young like Bronny, others felt he meant to mock the calibre of Hayes. The video of the same has gone viral on X. LeBron and Bronny could script history in the upcoming NBA season. If the duo play together in a match for the LA Lakers, they could become the first-ever father-son duo to play an NBA match together. But Bronny has a long way to go.

The son of LeBron is far from making it to the playing of his NBA team. In the ongoing tournament, he has been struggling to score points against the rising talents. It needs a lot of grooming for James to be in the reckoning at the highest level. While some might feel that Bronny needs backing and has the talent in him, others feel that he is hyped just because of his father.
