Bronny James reacts to Nick Smith Jr.'s signing with Real Madrid
The Los Angeles Lakers player, son of LeBron James, talks about his colleague's exit to the ACB League
Nick Smith Jr. will face a new stage in his career away from the NBA after finalizing his move to Real Madrid. The American point guard will have the opportunity to take on a much more significant role in the white team, where he is expected to handle a large part of the team’s leadership responsibilities in the EuroLeague.
His signing also has a special component due to Real Madrid's recent history, as it is the club where Luka Doncic developed as a player before making the jump to the NBA and becoming one of the biggest stars of the competition.
Smith Jr. celebrated his arrival at the Madrid team by sharing a photo on Instagram with his new jersey. The post quickly received reactions from several of his Los Angeles Lakers teammates, who wanted to send him messages of support for this new challenge in his career.
Bronny James was one of the first to react to the point guard's post. LeBron James's son left him a congratulatory message: "Damn thats fire bro be great!!!".
Adou Thiero also wanted to show his support to Smith Jr. with a brief message: "Get to it brudda". Jake LaRavia, for his part, responded to the post with "Yea nick".
Smith's Move to the Liga Endesa
The move will allow Smith Jr. to enjoy a responsibility that he hadn't had in the same way in the United States. In Madrid, he is expected to have a leading role as a point guard and to have many more minutes and prominence in a team that will compete for all titles again.
For the player, the European adventure also represents an opportunity to continue developing his game in one of the great clubs on the continent. And for his Lakers teammates, his arrival at Real Madrid has already generated the first public displays of support, with Bronny James among the first to celebrate his new destination.
