Dear Bronny,

‍
I am so proud of you and the path you continue to take as a young man and leader.
‍
It wasn’t that long ago that you were interrupting Nike meetings by having your own ‘dunk contest’ on your tiny Tike hoop while your dad and I tried to concentrate. You always wanted to play.
‍
You’ve grown up in quite the spotlight. I’d argue that no one has experienced the same exact circumstance you have and I have to tell you, you are exceeding expectations while having fun in the process. It is the best way to do it – your way.
‍
They often say “Pressure is a Privilege” and they’re right. But it’s also been a privilege to watch you throughout your entire life evolve in to your own athlete and person.
‍
You continue to impress me with how well you show up – on the court, off the court, with your family and with your friends.
‍
Bronny – CONGRATULATIONS!
‍
Enjoy your Draft moment!

P.S. Even though I recently retired from Nike, I am always a phone call away if you need me.
