This is WAY worse than the Tim Tebow circus 🤦🏻♂️💀💀💀
This nikka is so gey
Bronny keep up the hard work. This kid is definetly built different any person hating him wouldnt come out of their house if they received this much hate. Once he truly stops caring about what they think the hesitancy will go away and he will stop caring like Lebron had too.
What a joke
BRONNY IS A VERY BAD PLAYER AND HE IS NOT ASHAMED TO PLAY IN THE NBA! THIS SHOWS THAT HE IS A BAD MAN JUST LIKE HIS FATHER!
As a father I could never do this to my son, never.
He look 👀 Shook ASF!!! Should’ve stayed in college!!! Thanks Dad!!!!
Bronnypotism 🗑
To all the haters…ARE YOU IN THE NBA? NOPE.
6'1" shooting gaurd that can't shoot.
He will get better as long as he works hard and puts in the work to get better. He has the skill.
After watching all the games I cannot argue that he is the worst player on his current summer league team, cannot defend the pick and roll, cannot defend the screen, cannot create his own shot, can't shoot, not as advertised defending the one-on-one, ineffective defending anyone over 6'4, doesn't seem to have the killer instinct needed to play at this level, terrible running the lane on the break. Doesn't get back on defense. As far as nepotism I respect it. As a Laker fan just upset we wasted good money on this kid that could have helped us acquire another shooter or a NBA level defender. I just want to win and this circus of a pick has nothing to do with winning. We are the laughing stock of the NBA right now and it sucks because we were once a proud franchise focused on winning championships. We give LeBron whatever he wants and none of this stuff works. It's not a secret no free agents want to be part of this dumpster fire. I can't say i blame them. Going to be another year fighting for the play in game because we're running the same team back as last year plus K4 and Bronny.
lol this dude is only averaging 2.5pts per game and still the media goes crazy about this dude😂😂😂 lechoke making nba a clown😂😅😅
My guy is 55 overall
8 PTS🥶
0-8 3PT🎯
3-14 FG🔥
5 REB💪
0 AST😱
2 PF😤
27 MIN⏰
ESPN Runs out of glaze material and has to post “imagine if he made this” content🐐
Keep grinding bronny folks wanna see you fail!💪🏽
Body language tells us all that he’s lost his confidence. Social media gonna cook this dude
This is all for show. He’s gone once lebron retires
If 2 of his shots hit he would have 15pt, and then ppl would move the goal post and find another reason to complain.
Mikey williams.
The real LeFraud 🦜
He sounds defeated
Getting better? Now the league is in trouble, I don't know how he can get better, he already is This Generation " Goat ".
he looks discouraged, in due time he’ll get a rhythm.
Bronny "Jester Brick Laying" James. if NBA want sales, on the 3rd or 4th game of the lakers game; bornny gets in lebrons face, and lebron pushes him to the ground.
LET THE CIRCUS BEGIN . THE MEDIA IS GONNA EAT IT UP LIKE CRACK!!! The summer league hasn't been interesting like this since EVER….
imagine the profit and media sales……………lol

Lebron James is the best player to ever wear an NBA uniform and also the worst player to ever wear one
Bummy James , go cry to mommy and daddy
Again, his only stats are his name and the amount of clicks he generates on youtube
I think Liangelo Ball was better than Bronny he deserved a shot. Oh yea he got a shot, came thru splashing and still got cut😂
Get him out the league. The only nba floor he needs to be on is as the janitor.
bronny took an opportunity away from another, more deserving kid – plain and simple
If he hits his 3s different story
The Los Angeles Fakers bent over for Lebron's egotistical agenda on this one and forcing the "Media" to pour syrup on $hit and sell them as pancakes…
He’s stuck on day 1 on Myplayer mode 2k
His hairline will disappear faster than he can make a 3 pointer
He should be at USC another year along with Boogie Collier & Rodman Jr! Not NBA ready Scottie Pippen Jr went the right route
He will get better he just have to believe that he can be the best and have that killer mentality
BRONNY JAMES AVERAGED 4 PTS A GAME AND GOTNA GUARANTEED CONTRACT. BOOGIE ELLIS AVERAGED 16 PT A GAME AND HE DOES NOT HAVE A GUARANTEED CONTRACT. BOOGIE ELLIS SCORED 17 PTS IN 1 GAME FOR THE SACRAMENTO KINGS.
BRONY JAMES HAS PLAYED 3 GAMES FIR THE LAKERS AND HAS NOT SCORED 17 PTS
Savannah done nerfed this mans genetics
Bronny has a lot to live up to and i believe he is being hard on himself and does want to perform. He needs to be him self and just play and have fun, but it's easier said than done especially when your father is LBJ.
In a "slump" implies that you were shooting better than what the stats say. You can't gaslight me into thinking that we are wrong about you all along.
I feel bad for bro
My guy genuinely doesn’t even sound excited to be there. The mental toll has to be crazy
He might retire before he gets to score 55 points in the regular season like his draft pick #.
I feel bad for the kid because he has a very competitive father who wants the very best for his son, in the end the kid is not ready now YET. He just got thrust into the limelight with haters all around him waiting for him to fail. I kinda get the feeling because I am a surgeon like my dad before me, and same with the kid they called it nepotism ,but in reality I grew up thinking surgery is my world and nothing else, people were constantly waiting for me to fail, it took so much tears, time and so much effort to prove myself but in the end I can stand on my own now with my head held up high. I only wish for everyone to have a journey in life free from this kind of pressures, it is up to Brony now if he can prove himself only time will tell. I wish for him the best without any hate.
He sounds defeated and depressed
This is one thing morons from ESPN that sniff too much LeFraud knickers can't cover up. You butthurt, lebronda fan?? Imbecile!
He’s not made for that life
