LeBron James' departure from social media is primarily driven by the excessive scrutiny directed at his son Bronny James, which LeBron himself inadvertently fueled through his previous public comments

“none of us are perfect and LeBron James electing to get off of social media is that because of you LeBron James or is it because of your son bronny James and his struggles in the D-League in the NBA prior to that college basketball”

LeBron James is likely stepping away from social media because the intense negative scrutiny directed at his son Bronny is proving difficult for the young player to handle.

“it's because of his son and I think that his son hasn't necessarily been able to handle the hype the expectations and the negativity and that therefore it it has really made him look at it and I'm speaking of Lebron in a different way”
