No other rookie has been criticized more than Bronny James. The LA Lakers rookie was the 55th pick of this season’s NBA draft and despite being a late second-round pick, James has faced the heat from fans and media alike. The 20-year-old guard has tried his best to ignore all the noise and focus on honing his skills. On Thursday, it was finally time for Bronny James to step up and show out. That’s exactly what the Lakers rookie did! With almost the entire starting lineup injured, James put on a show.
He dropped a career-high 17 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds in a 118-89 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks. James played 30 minutes and shot a massive 70 percent from the field. While LA lost the game, it was a great night for the rookie, who attracted massive praise from several people. Among them was none other than ESPN journalist Stephen A. Smith. Yes, you heard it correctly! The same Smith who had a beef with Bronny’s father LeBron James recently. He seems to have taken a U-Turn on his assessment of the Lakers rookie.
