LeBron James makes his feelings known about Bronny reaching new heights

LeBron James was in awe of his son, Bronny James' 39-point show against the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League showdown on Monday. The young guard finished the game with 39 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and four steals while shooting 14-21 from the field and 4-8 from the deep.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), James wrote:

"SMILE THROUGH IT ALL YOUNG 🤴🏾!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 KEEP GOING!!"

While it was a good win for the South Bay Lakers, winning 122-118, the same couldn't be said for LeBron James and the Lakers as they dropped their third straight with a 110-106 loss to the Orlando Magic.

LeBron James on Bronny James handling pressure: "Nothing new to him"

Earlier, LeBron James minced no words when he said his son Bronny James was not new to facing the intense scrutiny and spotlight. Speaking after the 20-year-old's solid outing against the Milwaukee Bucks, James said:

"He's grown up in it, so it's nothing new to him. The kid is focused and he locks in on his craft. Like I said, he hears everything and uses it as motivation. He's here for a reason and he showed that the other night."

There has been a stark change in how Bronny plays his basketball compared to the initial days. The guard appears to look more comfortable and his development looks promising as evidenced by the G League performances. He has been an improved player on both ends of the floor for LA in his rookie season.

As for James Sr. and the Lakers, they will need to arrest their three-game losing skid if they intend to finish in the top five. They were beaten by the Magic for the second time this season and will hope to course correct as they approach the next few games on the road.
