Bronny James recently began his NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers after a hiatus from college basketball due to a cardiac arrest. As the son of LeBron James, Bronny has been in the spotlight, especially following his controversial draft by the Lakers.
Unexpectedly, Bronny recently found himself involved in political news. Following reports of Donald Trump being shot during a rally, some netizens disgustingly joked that Bronny was the shooter on social media. Although the joke’s origin is unknown, it quickly spread, targeting the 19-year-old star.
Bronny is currently concentrating on his Summer League games with the Lakers. Being dragged into political headlines was unexpected, especially since LeBron James has generally avoided political controversies.
This situation has created skepticism among fans, who are questioning why Bronny’s name is associated with such rumors.
The younger James has already faced criticism for his performance in the Summer League games. These recent political rumors have added more challenges to his rookie season.
Anonymous NBA Executive Commends Lakers’ Faith in Bronny James
After the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James, his father, LeBron James, was spotlighted for his influence in drafting his eldest son. Despite initial skepticism, an anonymous NBA executive recently praised the Lakers’ decision to pick Bronny as the No. 55 overall pick.
The executive highlighted the potential that the Lakers saw in Bronny despite his brief college career.
“I don’t think that one year he had is an indication of who he was, what he is, or certainly not what he can be. The Lakers probably saw him working out and hanging around the team. They saw something good in him, so why not take him? A lot of people saw good things in him, but I think they were scared off,” the executive said.
LeBron recently admired Bronny, highlighting his son’s ability to endure criticism. Fans can hope the Lakers’ rookie will demonstrate his value in the future.
