Bronny James Faces Challenges in First NBA Summer League Showing
Sports | July 7, 2024, 2:04 a.m.
Bronny James made his Summer League debut for the Los Angeles Lakers, but his performance left much to be desired. Despite being the son of NBA legend LeBron James and making history as part of the first father-son duo in the league, Bronny struggled on the court, scoring just four points on 2-for-9 shooting. Questions of nepotism arose when the Lakers hired LeBron's podcast cohost as head coach. Bronny's challenges included a sudden cardiac arrest, limiting his time to develop his game. Although scouts have been critical, it is early in his career, and improvement is expected. The Lakers and Bronny will look to bounce back in their next game against the Golden State Warriors before heading to Vegas. LeBron's dream of playing with his son in the NBA could become a reality sooner rather than later.
