” I see everything that people are saying, and people think, like, I’m a f–king robot, like I don’t have any feelings or emotions.” said Bronny James to The Athletic in an interview recently. He hears it all—the doubts, the criticism, the claims that he’s only here because of his dad. Some say he isn’t NBA-ready, others argue he’s been handed opportunities most players can only dream of.
But instead of letting the noise get to him, the 20-year-old is using every bit of it as fuel to prove he belongs. And on Thursday with the Lakers severely shorthanded—missing four starters and six rotation guys, including LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves—Bronny found himself with another big opportunity.
But what happened was the he had a scary fall. The Lakers rookie found himself in a dangerous situation after a mishandled pass turned into a costly mistake. With poor spacing on the floor, a risky guard-to-guard pass put him in a vulnerable position. Gary Trent Jr. saw the opening, swiped the ball, and took off, forcing Bronny into a desperate defensive effort.
He lept in the air to deny Trent Jr. but he didn’t take the shot. So Bronny landed on his back and then crashed onto the floor. The sequence had the crowd holding its breath. But not LeBron. He was unfazed. He was just sitting on the bench unbothered.
