Bronny James rookie year with the Los Angeles Lakers has been quite a ride: from being the first player in NBA history to play along his father – superstar LeBron James – to finding his rhythm in the G League with the South Bay Lakers.
And the improvement is clear: Bronny James racked up 17 points, three rebounds, five assists and one block in 30 minutes off the bench during a 118-89 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on March 21st.
It was the first time the former USC Trojans guard hit double figures in 22 NBA games, and his performance may have earned some more playing time moving forward. “I feel like it’s all coming back. Just being out for that long, stuff that I had to go through, wind-wise and lung-wise,” James said after the game.

LeBron James praises Bronny’s improvement
LeBron James recently talked about Bronny’s improvement as the season has progressed. One of the best basketball players in NBA history said that he feels like that his oldest son has taken advantage of every opportunity he has had to display his talent on the court.
“Going out there and just playing off instinct. That’s how he’s always played. I think he said, after one of the games … he said he just mentally starting to feel better after the incident. Everything is starting to come back in shape, starting to come back to form”. LeBron stated.
Through nine games played, Bronny averages 33.6 minutes with 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds (3.9 of them on the defensive side of the ball), 5.3 assists and 0.2 blocks with 3.3 turnovers. He dropped a career-high 31 points in the South Bay Lakers victory against the Rip City Remix.
