The Los Angeles Lakers selected LeBron James’ son, Bronny James, as the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA draft. The 19-year-old shooting guard received a $7.9 million contract soon after his selection.
Bronny made his professional debut in the NBA summer league, playing for the Lakers. However, Bronny didn’t get off to a great start in his professional career as the team struggled, losing their first four games in the league.
Despite the on-court setbacks, Bronny achieved success off the court during the NBA summer league. He participated in the Call of Duty Summer League activation and competed in the CoD’s two-minute drill contest. The former USC Trojans guard emerged victorious in a “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III” competition during the Las Vegas Summer League. In the challenge, Bronny outperformed Charlotte Hornets guard Grant Williams by scoring a total of 84 points in a two-minute fitness challenge, securing the win.
As a result, Bronny was awarded a custom-made Call of Duty championship belt and a $10,000 prize. It is notable that in 2023, Jaylin Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder emerged as the winner of the same event.
