- NBA. LeBron James’ message to Bronny wakes up his son just in time to curb criticism
- NBA. Bronny James finally shows signs of life in Summer League Lakers vs Hawks game
The earliest days of Bronny James‘ NBA career have been subject to heavy scrutiny. The eldest son of LeBron James found himself drafted by LeBron‘s team, the Los Angeles Lakers, further heightening expectations that were already significant. Shortly after signing on the dotted line of a four-year, $7.9 million contract, Bronny embarked on Summer League with the Lakers — and not everything has gone according to plan.
Although Bronny’s 12-point “outburst” against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday showed he is making some progress offensively, many fans and analysts around the NBA need to see more from the 19-year-old after a bumpy start to Summer League action. That skepticism even extends to former players, including a Lakers icon who believes Bronny needs more support from those around him.
