Early this year, former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas questioned why Nike did not make a shoe to sell (for Bronny).
Arenas (h/t Underdog): "I'm surprised Nike didn't drop a shoe... Ya'll think it's stats, man... You already know them [expletive] kid's is buying Bronny's shoes."
Former NBA player Kenyon Martin also added: "I have a six-year old at home. Just as excited when we went to the game that he saw Bronny as he was to take a picture with LeBron with his dad."
