Bronny James is slowly catching up with his superstar status. Being the son of the legendary LeBron James, Bronny has faced significant criticism. While he has already made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers, there have been talks about the moment being ‘fabricated.’ However, coming into the G League, Bronny James is blossoming into the star that most of King James’ fans thought him to be.
Despite the South Bay Lakers losing to the Valley Suns, Bronny stole the limelight. James Jr. dropped 30 points in a career-high moment with an incredible 57% shooting. Such a performance saw Bronny average 14 points per game, with 2.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds this season. Naturally, the 20-year-old looked ecstatic after the match. Reflecting on his performance, James Jr. had only one aim. “I just want to play,” said Bronny.
