Reporter: “If you had $500 and you needed to spend it by the end of the day, how would you do it?”

Bronny’s responses reveal a multifaceted individual with diverse interests. Despite restrictions on snowboarding to protect his basketball career, he fondly recalls it as a favorite pastime. His ideal dinner guests—Juice WRLD, Neymar, and Michael Jackson—reflect his varied inspirations.
If not in basketball, Bronny envisions a career in soccer or extreme sports, though he humorously dismisses the idea of being a pro gamer. He wishes people would stop asking about his first NBA jersey, which was indeed his father’s. Neymar stands out as his biggest non-basketball inspiration.
Bronny also enjoys frequent visits home, values Michael Jackson’s music, and would spend $500 on meals and Kobe shoes. These insights showcase his unique identity beyond the basketball court.
