Le Bron James' 11yo son is NOT allowed to have his own cellphone #HNNSports

Sports Illustrated

During his exclusive interview with SI’s Lee Jenkins, LeBron said that he won’t let his oldest son, 11-year-old LeBron Jr., have a cellphone.

“He’s lucky,” LeBron explained. “He gets to grow up slower than I did.”

That’s a good enough explanation as any, but maybe there’s another reason. Perhaps LeBron wants to make sure Bronny can’t get bombarded with calls from college coaches.He’s already got offers from Duke and Kentucky.
