After playing just one year at USC, Bronny James boldly declared for the NBA draft. Despite early interest from the Golden State Warriors, who considered drafting him with the No. 52 pick, Bronny ultimately landed with the Los Angeles Lakers as the No. 55 pick. Since then, the spotlight has been on the young player, and his performances have been under intense scrutiny.
Rich Paul, who represents both LeBron James and his son Bronny, recently shared his thoughts on Bronny’s decision to join the NBA. Paul showed his confidence in the move and brushed off the criticism that has followed.
“There are no downsides to Bronny’s decision to go to the NBA… only pros. He’s the first player to have only pros,” Paul said.
However, fans have quickly expressed their doubts after Bronny’s underwhelming performances. His Summer League showing drew criticism, and his struggles continued during the Lakers’ first two preseason games. In the first game, Bronny managed only two points; in the second, he went scoreless.

For LeBron, the experience was nothing short of fulfilling a lifelong goal. He was thrilled to have his son by his side, calling it a “dream come true.” However, for Bronny, the moment felt surprisingly normal.

“JJ told us we were gonna be playing together earlier in the day, so I was pretty psyched for that. But I just got out there, and it felt like a normal game with my teammate, to be honest,” Bronny said after the game.
Despite the excitement surrounding the occasion, the Lakers lost 114-118. LeBron, as expected, displayed his usual athleticism and leadership on the court. However, Bronny again struggled to make a significant impact in his Lakers jersey.
