Bronny James’ Weak Summer League Debut for LA Lakers: LeBron Speaks Out

Bronny James makes a weak debut for the LA Lakers in the Summer League. Father LeBron speaks out – and assesses the performance.

While LeBron James is preparing for the Olympic tournament in the US training camp, the NBA superstar’s son, Bronny James, made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Summer League on Saturday.

The 19-year-old’s game in the 94:108 loss to the Sacramento Kings still had room for improvement. In 22 minutes, James contributed four points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal, and only made two of his nine field goal attempts.

In 2003, his father scored 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists in his Summer League debut; the hype back then seemed limitless – in stark contrast to his son now.

“It was more than I expected. I mean, it’s an important game for me, but I didn’t know if people from Golden State would come and cheer for me,” Bronny James said after the game. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Dad LeBron also spoke out after his son’s performance: “When he plays in the California Classic and the Summer League, it doesn’t matter if he plays well, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t play well,” LeBron told reporters at the US basketball team’s training camp.

He just wants him to “continue to develop through practice, filming and individual training. You can’t take the statistics from the California Classic and Summer League into account when the season starts. The only thing that matters is that he gets better and gains days.”

James Jr. was recently drafted 55th overall by the LA Lakers, his father’s team, and could form the first father-son duo in NBA history with his famous father.
