It can never be said enough, but it must be hard to be a “son of…”. After many others before him, it is now time to Bronny Jamesthe son of Lebron James to make the bitter observation.
While many observers questioned his real talent to play in the NBA, the 19-year-old American was finally selected in 55th place by the Lakers, his father’s franchise, during the last draft.
A relief for him… but which obviously brings its share of pressure. Because in Los Angeles, the competition is tough and snatching a spot in the core is not given to everyone.
Four months before the start of the NBA season, Bronny James had the opportunity to prove, during several Summer League matches, a sort of summer league, that he had his place on the NBA courts.
A great opportunity, except that it is turning into a real ordeal. Willful and diligent, Bronny pays dearly for his lack of precision from afar. While he does not make a shot, James tries his luck at three points and remains on a pitiful 0/15 behind the line.
At the same time, his stats in other areas of the game are not taking off. The proof is that last night, he delivered a match within his current standards with 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 turnovers.
Inevitably, doubts seem to creep into his mind. Especially since the criticisms are increasingly harsh regarding him. And that even Jaylen BrownCeltics superstar, was caught red-handed last night saying “JI don’t think he’s a pro player” in the middle of a match. Hello pressure…
