Bro tried to BULLY LeBron 😭

LeBron James' latest appearance on GD's Highlights has passed a million views, but one of the most-liked responses looks well beyond this preseason game. A viewer remembers watching James in junior high and continuing through adulthood, marriage and parenthood.

That is a distinctive kind of basketball memory. James entered the NBA in 2003, giving longtime viewers a career they can place alongside chapters of their own lives.

The clips channel takes a more mischievous approach with its title, “Bro tried to BULLY LeBron 😭”. Viewers discuss the game's physical intensity, the effort to stop James and his layups. The comments arrived thirteen times faster than on a usual first day for the channel's Shorts.

Strength is also the hook of another upload posted the same day, “Bronny is TOO STRONG 😆”. Between the two, GD's Highlights is giving preseason basketball a more physical framing than its neighboring reel of NBA streetball moments.
