When it comes to sons of NBA players, few have garnered as much attention as Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James. The son of Lakers superstar LeBron James, Bronny was selected with the 55th overall pick in the second round of the NBA draft. Despite some skepticism about his readiness after an underwhelming collegiate year, Bronny has remained focused, working diligently to seize his opportunity while ignoring the persistent chatter surrounding him and his father. He has split his time between the Lakers and their G-League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, where he has recently begun to demonstrate signs of legitimate NBA potential.
Fortunately for Bronny, attention has momentarily shifted off of him due to the troubles of another NBA legend’s son. Recent news broke that Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, was arrested in Florida for cocaine possession and DUI, drawing the spotlight away from Bronny. A pop culture Twitter account reported, “BREAKING: Marcus Jordan has been arrested in Florida for cocaine possession and DUI.”

Fans have taken to social media to react to Marcus’s situation, with comments like, “We know we’re all that trophy room back door money went,” and “Daddy’s money will have this charge dropped.” Another user remarked, “He won’t have to go to any of those private prisons MJ invested in tho.” It remains to be seen what kind of punishment Marcus may face.
