Bronny James is a basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of he National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected with the 55th pick of the 2024 NBA draft to the surprise of many experts and analysts.

After a full year of being able to hone his skills between time with the Lakers team and their Gatorade league team as well, how are we feeling on his first game back? Bad shooting luck? Bad teammates? Or just plain old rustiness?

  4. A little bit of everything but I just think he ain’t got the experience to compete.

    Both him and Knecht, if you go a little physical defensively against them, they just get rattled and start doing too much.

    The moment they release the ball, you could tell there was no rhythm and they just shooting like it is a hot potato.

    Together they were combined 3-22 from the field jfc lol

  5. Your shooting would be off too if you found out one of your teammates is banging your mom.

  7. His shooting is still bad and I don’t think he will ever become an nba caliber player unfortunately.

  11. You miss 7/8 shots from 3 fine, but damn couldnt even make anything inside as well

  12. I can’t wait for “Bronny James makes a regular jump shot” to get 6000 upvotes every single game this season again.

  15. Delusional Lakers fans be like, “Everyone’s overreacting, it’s just one preseason game, relax.”

  17. >Bronny James is a basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of he National Basketball Association (NBA).

    Hot take

  18. They’re stuck with him til they get rid of his pops or he retires

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    They give Kawhi shit for taking $ and doing nothing. But Lakers paying Bronny to be a nothing. 🤣🤣🤣

  20. He looked bad, real bad, worse than those stats bad.

    I know this is preseason but Bronny needs to stop getting minutes. He should be getting Thanasis minutes at best, Lakers pretending he has a shot of becoming a real rotation player is embarrassing.

  22. I’m a Lakers fan.

    Bronny doesn’t hustle on defense *at all*. He glides for loose balls. He’s always just guarding the corner 3 at all times (the “Luka on D” spot), never POA, and never even bluffs that he’ll move into a lane from there. Complete non-factor, and he’s always talking about being an impactful D player.

    On offense, he now has the confidence to shoot 3s instead of deferring. But he’s not making them. He drives to the basket more, but is still undersized and defenders know he’s looking to pass off, not score on drives.

    If he could actually be cut and was not guaranteed a roster spot, I think his hustle would improve 1000%. But he seems content just treating every game situation like practice, and just trying not to look bad instead of trying to play winning basketball.

  23. The guy’s obviously not an NBA player, but omitting his rebounds and assists while pointing out he had 0 steals and 0 blocks is some next level hater shit.

  32. Deandre Ayton scored 1 point and grabbed 8 rebounds in 18 minutes.

    How do we feel about that?

  33. For an NBA-caliber pg, the statline would probably be 15/4/3 per 36

    he got 8/5/2 in 24.

    It’s not that bad, considering that Jake LaRavia, Knecht, and Vanderbelt scored less than him.(LaRavia played less though)

    ig he’s improving.

  35. as a luka fan before anything else im just gonna say it… jalen brown was right when he said bronny is NOT an nba level player.

    lakers lifers fan copium “he was a great choice with the 2384932849230482309th pick, better than anybody else available!” is just garbage bullshit. the fact is that he should NOT have a roster spot but he does bc he’s fucking LESPERM. tired of trying to force his roster spot/forcememe that he’s anything other than a fucking nepo baby.

    god, at this point i’d rather listen to lakers lifers bray about how kobe isn’t a rapist rather than listen to people do olympic-level mental fucking gymnastics trying to justify LESPERM’S place on the team.

    FUCK.

  37. You really couldn’t write your own post? You had to chatgpt it?
