The post featured two photos; a sweet throwback of a young Bronny and a more recent image. The throwback image featured infant Bronny lying on a blue blanket with a wide smile on his face. The other photo showed grown-up Bronny looking dapper in a brown suit.

Accompanying the photos, Savannah expressed her immense love and pride for her son. She captioned the post with a heartfelt note saying:

“Happy Birthday, Bronny! Literally can’t with 20 [crying emojis]. Love you beyond words and so proud of you!! Keep being YOU!!!”

As Bronny James prepares for his inaugural NBA season, he's taking a measured approach to his role. According to NBA insiders, the young forward is likely to spend time with the Lakers' G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers.

In recent interviews, Bronny has expressed his willingness to learn and grow during his rookie years.

“I know that I’m not going to be thrown into the rotation immediately. So, I’ve accepted that role and I’m coming in and getting better every day and learning from the vets and people that are going to be receiving heavy minutes. I have no problem sitting back and learning these first couple years and then building up from there,” James said.

He's aware that he won't be an immediate starter and is open to the idea of observing and learning from more experienced players.
