Bronny James is addressing all the negativity surrounding his NBA career ... saying despite people thinking he's a "f***ing robot," he does have feelings -- and the criticism is motivating him to prove the haters wrong.

The 20-year-old NBA player spoke out in a feature with The Athletic ... on the heels of a confrontation between LeBron and Stephen A. Smith at the Lakers game earlier this month -- which was sparked due to the ESPN talent's comments on the four-time champion's son.

Grousbeck intended to sell 51% of the team by late 2024 or early 2025, with the rest closing in 2028.

3/20/25 10:05 AM PT -- A spokesperson for the Bernalillo County prosecutor's office tells TMZ ... the third suspect wanted for murder in the hit-and-run death of a New Mexico man has been arrested. We're also told a pre-teen child will be charged with murder.

Bernalillo County D.A. Communications Director Nancy Laflin tells TMZ ... 11-year-old Messiah Hayes will face a murder charge. New Mexico law prevents a child under 12 years old from being detained in a juvenile facility ... but a child of that age can be charged with murder.

And the third suspect, 16-year-old William Garcia, who police were searching for, was arrested Wednesday night.

Laflin confirmed the three suspects were laughing as they hit the victim on his bicycle, after the video above cuts off.

Two minors have been arrested for murder in a fatal hit-and-run collision caught on camera from inside the car in Albuquerque, N.M. ... and authorities claim these are the boys heard laughing on video before their vehicle mowed down 63-year-old Scott Dwight Habermehl in May 2024.

TMZ obtained the disturbing footage, which authorities believe shows the moments before Johnathan Overbay, William Garcia, and Messiah Hayes decided to strike Habermehl with a stolen car. You can hear someone in the car instructing the driver to "just bump him, brah" and "go like, 15, 20."

The car audibly accelerates and giggles are heard, then the video ends just before the fatal moment. Police say Habermehl was riding his bike to work at about 4:40 AM when he was struck in the dedicated bike lane of the roadway.
