Bronny James lived a lifelong dream last month when he heard his name called during the NBA Draft.

The 19-year-old was the 55th selection in the draft, but the circumstances surrounding it have led to negative chatter. 

Of course, his father is LeBron James, and his Los Angeles Lakers drafted his son.

The talks of a power trip and nepotism have been running rampant since that day, but two brothers, who will soon play against one another in the NBA, are brushing all the negativity to the side.

"I think there’s gonna be negativity regardless of who you are. There’s always going to be trolls on the internet trying to take you down no matter what," incoming rookie Cody Williams said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "(Jayson) Tatum just won a championship and people are still saying he’s the most overrated player. People are still gonna try to do whatever to tear him down.

"I think it’s just an incredible moment – a son and a dad are both talented enough to play in the best league in the world. It’s not like you get there because you suck," he continued. "Both of them are good, they both deserve to be there. Special moment they’re sharing."

Williams' older brother is Oklahoma City Thunder rising star Jalen, who is entering his third season in the NBA.
