Bronny James’ performance level with the Trojans of USC hasn’t been great to begin his college career. Although he can still improve as the season goes on, his most recent appearance sparked a lot of discussion in the media and online. In his debut game as a USC starter, he had a terrible performance, going without a basket.
According to New York Post’s Ted Holmlund’s report, normal starters Joshua Morgan, Boogie Ellis and Isaiah Collier were unavailable due to injuries. James was chosen to start because of this. He played for 25 minutes, which is more than he has played all season.
Additionally, this was his second straight scoreless game for the Trojans against USC. The teenage USC player was the target of mockery from many NBA fans on X after his Saturday night performance.
“Hey warriors, For next season, @StephenCurry377, @KlayThompson, and @Money23Green, you guys should draft Bronny James, get @BolBol, and the @KingJames would most likely sign a vet minimum.
Given the fame and basketball history of LeBron James, there is a great deal of weight and expectation placed on his kid. Fans were agitated by his scoreless effort in Saturday night’s 68-58 loss to the Colorado Buffaloes.
Fans also criticized LeBron James for his comments: Bronny James is ready to suit up for the LA Lakers. Considering his son’s play in his first collegiate game, the Lakers star’s remarks did not go down well.
LeBron James is aware of how demanding sports fan culture can be. In basketball, a player must let their play speak for themselves if they want to silence their detractors and skeptics.
Bronny James averages 2.2 rebounds and 5.2 points (34.8% shooting, 23.1% from 3-point range) per game.

LeBron James’ remarks regarding Bronny James’ NBA readiness for the Los Angeles Lakers
On Friday, January 5, the LA Lakers suffered a 127-113 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. After that, LeBron James mentioned in passing that his son was prepared for the NBA, according to Bridget Reilly of The New York Post.
“He could play for us right now,” James remarked. “Easy. Easy.”
Basketball players have it tough in the NBA since they are expected to give it their all. This explains why some players don’t make it to the professional ranks or don’t align with a squad. Nevertheless, LeBron James continues to have faith in his son and his abilities to contribute to the NBA.
