LARRY BI..: No, Larry Bird Did Not Dismiss LeBron James Following the Lakers’ Draft Selection of Bronny

Larry Bird, a retired NBA player, poses with his lifetime achievement award during the 2019 NBA Awards show at Barker Hanger on June 24, 2019 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Please provide the name and email address of Gary A. Vasquez, USA TODAY Sports.

You can easily obtain information on your favorite sportsmen or sports teams on the Internet, which is a useful tool.

It is also a misinformation wasteland.

The “coverage” of the Bronny James case was the one that best demonstrated it. Recently, a number of links surfaced claiming that NBA icons Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson had disparaged LeBron James following the Los Angeles Lakers’ selection of his son the previous week. I am not going to share them because they do not require any more care.

James was the target of hate from the fictitious stories, even though a number of previous players supported the Lakers giving Bronny a chance. He was the 55th pick.

Among the first to congratulate James was Johnson. A father-son team will be playing together for the first time this season.
