"It's a little questionable what's going on there" - Nickmercs gives his take on Bronny James' cardiac arrest

On July 25, 2023, Twitch streamer Nicholas "Nickmercs" shared his thoughts on the recent incident involving basketball player Bronny James. For those unaware, the 18-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice session with the USC Trojans on Monday (July 24, 2023). He was then rushed to the ICU. According to reports, his condition was stable.

Bronny's parents, Savannah and LeBron James, issued a public statement saying:

"Yesterday, while practicing, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest. Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in the ICU. We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information."

Claiming that he did not want to come across as a "tinfoil hat guy," Nickmercs believed there was something "questionable" about the situation. He said:

"I don't know, man! I don't know what it is or what it isn't. But, it's questionable! It's a little questionable what's going on out there. I don't know. I don't know, man."
