Jason Whitlock has had enough of Bronny James stinking up the place when on the court.
Whitlock had previously accused LeBron James of turning Bronny into ‘the Make-A-Wish kid’ after the Los Angeles Lakers picked his son at the NBA Draft.
The Lakers selected Bronny James with the 55th overall pick in the second round of last month’s draft, having been snubbed in the first round after only playing one year of college basketball at USC.
The 19-year-old is currently going through a tough stretch during the Summer League games, which continued on Monday.
Bronny James struggled from the field, finishing 1 for 5 in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 88-74 loss to the Boston Celtics. He played 25 minutes and poured in two points, three rebounds, and one assist, NBA.com reports.
His three-point shot remains a mystery. He was 0 for three from 3-point range and is now 0 for 15 from beyond the arc in four games—two in Las Vegas and two at the California Classic in San Francisco.
His performance got the attention of Jason Whitlock, who took to his X account and reposted a fan video showing Bronny shooting a last-second three-pointer that hit nothing but air.

He added once again that Bronny was a Make-A-Wish kid who should be “at a Mid-major making friends and creating memories.”
Bronny is shooting 7 for 31 (23%) this summer and is averaging 4.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals.
Jaylen Brown Caught Making Disparaging Comments About Bronny James
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown was simply sitting on the courtside when a casual conversation with WNBA players Angel Reese and Kysre Gondrezick was broadcast online as he discussed LeBron James’ son, Bronny.
Brown had doubts about Bronny James’ ability to make it in the NBA.
After the video went viral, Brown decided to clear things up a bit.
“Bronny has all the tools around him to be successful(.) I look forward to watching his growth,” Brown said on X.
