Last year, after joining the Lakers pro team, LeBron James’ son, Bronny James, had a tough start to his career. He didn’t play as well as expected, especially compared to other rookies of the purple and gold.
Because of this, the Lakers sent him to the G-League, where he occasionally showed good performances. Recently, during his return to the G-League, Bronny amazed everyone by scoring a career-high 31 points.
After some tough performances in the main league, Lakers coach JJ Redick sent Bronny to the G-League to help him improve. It looks like this move is paying off.
Recently, Bronny James scored a career-high 31 points, leading the South Bay Lakers to a 122-110 win over the Rip City Remix. He scored 25 of those points in the second half and even had a dunk that got the crowd really excited.

Even though the South Bay Lakers are struggling with a 2-7 record, Bronny’s great game has made NBA fans feel hopeful. After all, he’s LeBron James’ son, and everyone gets excited when “their boy” Bronny does well.
He made 10 of 22 shots, including 5 of 11 three-pointers. This was his second 30-point game of the season. Fans were quick to react, and even his dad, LeBron James, also didn’t hold off.
