In his second game, Bronny scored just four points, making 2 out of 10 shots and missing both three-point tries in his 25 minutes of playing time. The Lakers lost to the Stockton Kings 127-122.

Entitled Rich kids go through the motions.
He will never work a hard day in his life. And that’s a blessing. He should focus on what he wants not his narcissist dad’s dream.

@MightyMouseBG said, “LeBron used his power to get Bronny in the NBA, but when LeBron retires, teams won’t accept subpar play from Bronny. Bryce, his little brother, will be better prepared for the NBA.”

Sadly I’m glad Lebron used his power to get bronny in the NBA but unfortunately once James Retires most of these teams will no longer accept subpar play from bronny. Bryce his little brother will be more equipped for NBA when he makes that leap.
