Celtics' star Jaylen Brown backtracks on apparent criticism of Bronny James

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has an incredible ability to change directions quickly when he's on the basketball court. He's not too bad at doing the same thing off the court, either.
The NBA Finals MVP may have gotten himself in a little hot water Monday night when a TV camera spotted him courtside at an NBA Summer League game in Las Vegas with WNBA players Angel Reese and Kysre Gondrezick discussing LeBron James' son, Bronny.
Brown apparently cast some doubt on Bronny James' ability to make it in the NBA. When the video went viral, Brown quickly pivoted in a social media post of his own.
"Bronny has all the tools around him to be successful(.) I look forward to watching his growth," Brown said on X.
Brown posted his response early Tuesday morning, not really denying anything he may have said in the video.
Despite a lack of audio, astute lip-readers were able to make out Brown apparently telling Gondrezick, "I don't think Bronny (James) is a pro."
“I think he’ll be on the G-league team for sure,” said Gondrezick.
To which Brown replied: “I don’t think so, I think because of his name he’ll be on the Lakers.”
Bronny James has struggled during his first two games with the Lakers' Summer League team, shooting 21.1% from the field on 19 attempts and going 0-for-11 from 3-point range.
That said, Brown did concede in his social media post, "It's a flex to have your son alongside you in the nba it reflects greatness and longevity."
