Recently, 2 Chainz spoke about Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James in an interview with Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay.

He is a big supporter of LeBron and Bronny.

2 Chainz: "He [LeBron] did nothing wrong... When Bronny been playing in the G League, and just the culmination of just what this season's done. He's a different player already."

A lot of fans commented on the clip of 2 Chainz talking about Bronny and LeBron.

@MrDRiceJr: "It’s only basketball lol. It ain’t like Bronny’s a brain surgeon."

@urbanrockflex: "Every father's dream"

@rohnk740: "Man wether you a Bron fan or not you gotta respect it 💯"

@1KingRee: "Straight up"

@Lazce: "It was pretty good for a second round pick"

@jsinitials: "lebron is the reason why bronny had so much pressure on him : last year lebron said that bronny is better than most of these players in the NBA smh 🙄🤦🏽"

While Bronny saw limited NBA playing time, he was a huge success in terms of popularity.

Via The NBA (on January 30): "Bronny James showing off the playmaking!

Hangs in the air for the tough and-1 😤

Gets downhill and lobs it up to Koloko 👀"

The Lakers were the third seed in the Western Conference with a 50-32 record.

They lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round.
