LeBron James’ Son, Bronny, Shines in NBA Summer League Debut for Lakers

Rookie Bronny James, following in the footsteps of his famous father LeBron, made an impressive NBA Summer League debut for the Los Angeles Lakers at the California Classic.

The high-anticipated game saw Bronny displaying skills reminiscent of LeBron, drawing attention and admiration from fans and analysts alike at the Warriors‘ Chase Center.

Selected 55th overall by the Lakers, Bronny’s debut was closely watched as he donned the Lakers’ iconic gold jersey with the number 9, distinct from his father’s historic jersey numbers.

Despite a slow start, Bronny showed glimpses of his potential, contributing with four points, assists, rebounds, and steals in his 22 minutes on the court.

The younger James faced early challenges but received cheers from the crowd as he notched his first NBA points with a driving layup, signaling his arrival in the league.

Coached by Rich Paul and Rob Pelinka, Bronny’s selection by the Lakers was defended against claims of nepotism, with the focus placed on his hard work and potential for growth.

Bronny’s journey with the Lakers continues in the Summer League, where he aims to impress with his skills and determination, under the guidance of coach Dane Johnson of the South Bay Lakers.
