In a YouTube video, the child who threw something at Bronny James at the 2020 Hoophall Classic on Monday apologized to Bronny and LeBron James’ entire family.

“Hi James family, I just want to apologize that I threw an orange peel at Bronny,” he said in a video posted last night.

He goes on to show his bedroom, which is covered with Lakers gear including jerseys, a pillowcase, James’ signature shoe and a basketball with a Lakers logo.

“It wasn’t a hate crime,” he added. “I know that’s what you thought.”

In the description of the video, he says he was trying to get Bronny’s attention.

“I didn’t want to hurt anyone, I was actually there at Springfield College during Hoophall I’m not lying or trying to ‘get clout,'" he wrote (lightly edited). “I was in the front area seats the people around me were not my parents my parents were sitting a couple seats away because I wanted to sit closer. I was calling out Bronny’s name and just wanted him to see me.”

He added that security never located him or threw him out, but his mother still took him home.
