SUMMARY
- Jaylen Brown doesn't think Bronny James is a pro basketball player.
- Bronny is willing to go to any extent to prove his worth as a player.
This year’s NBA Summer League has mainly revolved around the name, Bronny James. Unfortunately, after a week’s worth of analysis, it’s clear that the 19-year-old has a lot more to prove on the floor before taking on bigger roles and opportunities years into his career. James was the 55th overall pick to the LA Lakers, joining his father LeBron James on the same team.
Recently, the Lakers took on the Boston Celtics in a Summer League matchup. There were a couple of celebrities at the game but all eyes were on Jaylen Brown and the two ladies who accompanied him. Brown was accompanied by his alleged girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick and her ex-teammate Angel Reese.
Fans react to Jaylen Brown’s comments on Bronny James
During the game, Jaylen Brown was seen telling Gondrezick, “I don’t think Bronny is a pro.” His harsh criticism comes exactly a week after Bronny James made his debut in the Summer League to kickstart his career. However, Bronny has barely racked up the numbers scoring in single digits during all three of his appearances.
Just one ring and he’s blabbing all over the place?🤡

But some fans are still rooting for James despite his lackluster performances. One fan said, “If Bron sees this, brother is done fr.” Another fan said, “Just one ring and he’s blabbing all over the place?” It’s very possible that Bronny’s still trying to figure out how to adjust to being a professional basketball player. It will certainly take some time to properly understand where he fits on his team.
Bronny James might be open to the idea of playing in the G League
Based on his performance with the Lakers after an entire week, experts are convinced that Bronny James needs to be shipped to the G League to develop his game. Some believe James needs to improve his jumper after missing eight attempts from deep during his most recent game.
However, Bronny is willing to go through any extent to prove himself and he might be open to the idea of playing in the G League. “I’m just looking forward to any basketball I play, no matter what level I’m playing at,” he said following a loss to the Houston Rockets a few days ago. Either way, things will only be decided once the 2024-25 season starts. James could work under JJ Redick and his staff to improve his abilities as well. Bronny isn’t a terrible player but he needs proper guidance.
