Last Updated: July 1, 2023
On this week’s episode of “The ETCs,” Kevin Durant checks in from Phoenix. He & Eddie Gonzalez break down everything from Bronny James’ next steps to their most anticipated albums of 2023.

The future of basketball is here. With the tip-off of the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments and the upcoming McDonald’s All-American game, the next generation’s stars are taking over the national stage.

One of those standouts? Well, he has a familiar name.

“I’ve seen Bronny laying the ball up a couple years ago,” Kevin Durant recalls on this week’s episode of The ETCs. “… I feel like we been watching him since he was two, three years old. So, to see where he is now, I’m rooting for him. Hopefully, he gets to play with LeBron at some point.”

KD and Eddie Gonzalez break it all down, offering their thoughts as to how Bronny James should navigate the next chapter in his path toward the NBA.
