It is claimed the NBA legend believes he has a good chance of winning the championship with the LA Lakers this season.
However that has not prevented rumours circulating about his future.
Bronny claims he does not pay attention to the speculation, suggesting there are too many rumours going around.
He said: “Actually, one of my friends called me, talking about where [I was going to play next season], what I was going to do because they saw my dad [in the news].
“I didn’t see it. He called me. I was like, ‘yeah, I have no idea what you’re talking about.’ … I don’t really pay attention to that stuff.
“There’s a lot of stuff going around that I don’t pay attention to.”
Bronny, 20, is looking ahead to his second season in the NBA while LeBron is approaching his 23rd.
The pair do not discuss their futures too much, Bronny says, with LeBron telling his son not to worry.
Bronny said: “We don’t really talk about it much.
“I think when stuff like that does come up, he just tells me to not worry about it, to not even pay attention to it [and] just lock into what you have going on right now.
“And that’s what’s going to get me better and to keep me focused. I think it’s good that he tells me to not pay attention to that stuff.”
LeBron sent a message to his son after he reached a career milestone for the South Bay Lakers on Monday.
Bronny scored a career and game-high of 39 points with seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block against the Santa Cruz Warriors.
LeBron then took to X to write: “SMILE THROUGH IT ALL YOUNG [king emoji].
“KEEP GOING!!”
