Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, had a challenging start to his professional career after the Los Angeles Lakers selected him with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft. The 19-year-old shooting guard lost five consecutive games in the NBA summer league, leading to fans’ and analysts’ criticism. However, he and the Lakers managed to turn things around, winning two straight games against the Atlanta Hawks and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In the game against the Hawks, Bronny finished with 12 points, one steal, and one rebound in a close 87-86 victory. In the following game against the Cavaliers, he recorded 13 points, two blocks, three assists, and five rebounds in a 93-89 win.

Moreover, due to his outstanding performance in these games, Bronny achieved a milestone in his career. Following these strong performances, LeBron James expressed pride in his son during an interview with The Athletic, emphasizing that Bronny, at just 19 years old, has a lot of potential for growth in basketball.

“As a family, obviously, we’re just proud of the fact that he’s even at this point…I mean, he’s 19 years old, so he has so much room to grow. He has so much more to learn, but the best thing is that he just keeps his head down and stays focused. So the best will continue to come as he continues to work and continues to get better and better.” James said to the Athletic.
