In a recent interview on Ticket & The Truth, former NBA star Kevin Garnett expressed his admiration for Bronny James' performance at the NBA Draft Combine. Garnett remarked, "Bronny looks really good. He looks poised, he looks like he wasn't rattled by everything that was going around, he looks like he's used to the moment, he had a good session where he shot the ball well."

Garnett, known for his fierce competitive spirit and insightful basketball analysis, also highlighted the value of drafting LeBron James' son based on his genetics alone. "If I am a team bro, I would actually take a chance on that," Garnett said. "Because greatness runs through bro's veins. You got to know at some point, he's going to have a growth spurt and it's going to click."

Drawing a comparison to the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, Garnett emphasized that despite Bronny James' less accomplished high school and college career, there is tremendous potential in his game. "[Bryant] had great bones and great makeup to build off of," Garnett said. "Bronny shows some of that same make. I'm not calling him young Kobe or none of that, but I'm saying that's potential."

While Bronny James' college numbers at USC may not grab headlines, with averages of 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per game, his performance at the NBA Draft Combine left a lasting impression. Garnett commended James' ability to handle the pressure and adapt to the demanding environment, suggesting that he has the skills to succeed at the professional level.

As the NBA community eagerly awaits the upcoming draft, Garnett's appraisal of Bronny James has undoubtedly sparked speculation and interest among teams. While it remains to be seen which organization will take the chance on LeBron James' talented son, Garnett's words highlight the potential and promise that lies ahead for Bronny James in the world of basketball.
