Bronny James got his first taste of the NBA in the Summer League with the Lakers
Los Angeles Laker guard Bronny James Jr. (9) dunks against Houston Rockets during a NBA summer league basketball gameAPThe NBA Summer League concluded with an electrifying finish as the Miami Heat edged out the
Memphis Grizzlies in a championship overtime thriller, clinching victory with a score of 120-118. While the outcome was thrilling, much of the attention was focused on Bronny James, the 55th pick in the draft, and how he would develop with the Los Angeles Lakers throughout the tournament.
Bronny’s First NBA Steps
Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, had an interesting debut in the Summer League. Over six games, he averaged seven points, shooting 32.7 percent from the field and 13 percent from three-point range. He also contributed 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, against 1.8 turnovers. Although his statistics weren’t stellar, expectations were tempered for the rookie, and his performance showed gradual improvement. Being the son of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer undoubtedly comes with its own pressures.
In a video shared on his Instagram, Bronny looked impressive in one of his better games against the Atlanta Hawks. In that game, he recorded 12 points, shooting 5 of 11 from the field and making two of his five three-point attempts. His standout performance, however, came in his final game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he scored 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting, along with five rebounds, three assists, and two blocks. What started as a challenging Summer League concluded on a high note for Bronny, showing significant improvement as the games progressed.
The video was created by the account “Bron2K Productions,” which, despite what one might think, isn’t run by LeBron James but by Bronson Tucay, a Hawaiian who seized the opportunity to make the video the most viewed on his account, amassing over a million views so far.
What’s Next for Bronny?
Now, Bronny is likely to travel to Paris to support his father, who will be the flag bearer for the US at the Olympics, aiming for the gold medal. The games officially begin on Friday, though there has already been action in soccer and rugby sevens. We don’t know what the future awaits for Bronny as he continues to develop his game and follow in his father’s legendary footsteps.
