Bronny James: “It’s nice to get out on the pitch and just think about playing”
A performance that cheers up Bronny James, hit by criticism after his first outings in this one preseason NBA: many have high expectations of him, a pressure that has created quite a few problems for the boy. Tonight’s match was a breath of fresh air for James Jr. who, at the end of the match, commented as follows:
“It’s a fantastic feeling to go on the pitch without thinking too much and just play”
As Dave McMenamin writes about ESPNthe coach of the Lakers JJ Redick he said a few words about the yellow-purple rookie/son of art:
“I think for him and all of our younger players, all the moments are important parts of their growth. Not only the good moments, but also the bad ones are learning opportunities: I think that in these cases you need to have a certain level of patience and optimism. I am very confident in the level of work that our young people have had.
So I think it was good for him to score 17 points. I’m not the least bit worried about his growth process, we’re trying to help him become a great basketball player“
