Harper, who won five championships during his time in the league, delivered a shot at the Los Angeles Lakers star after being asked if he had a vision of participating in an All-Star competition with his children. The former point guard made a comment alleging that James forced Bronny James to enter the NBA Draft in 2024.
"I'm not LeBron James ," said Ron Harper. "I'm not going to tell my kids what they have to do."
"Yoooo," reacted Ron Harper Jr. and Dylan Harper .
