"Should have gone to Australia": Bronny James gets torched by NBA fans after firing blanks in Lakers' Summer League debut

NBA fans trolled Bronny James for his poor performance in the opening night game of the Summer League. The LA Lakers faced the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, but what could have been a night that James Jr. could have silenced his critics, he gave them even more to talk about.

Bronny scored just four points despite being inserted in the starting lineup. He went 2 of 9 from the field and missed all three shots from the three-point line. Troling James Jr., NBA fans on X said that he should have gone to Australia to develop as he might have had a rough rookie season.

"Maybe Bronny James should've gone to Australia?" a fan wrote.

"Gunna be a rough season for Bronny James," another fan wrote.

Commenting on his playing style, some of the fans criticized his shooting form and said that he was just running around the court.

"Bronny James shot arc is absolutely horrible my goodness," a fan wrote.

"Bronny James out there doing cardio," another fan wrote.

However, there were also some fans who were optimistic that eventually when Bronny grows out from the anxiety, his shots will start to drop.

"I like the way he's playing he really is gonna prove himself," a fan wrote.

"Once he gets over the nerves, he should be ok. He has one of the best teachers in the world," another fan wrote.

Savannah and LeBron James watch son Bronny James play for the first time in Lakers uniform

Bronny James made his debut for the LA Lakers in the Summer League on Saturday. His mother Savannah James and his father LeBron James could not contain their excitement to watch their son play in a Lakers jersey.

Savannah James posted a video of her son playing in a Lakers jersey as she was watching the game like a true basketball fan on a big screen. On the other hand, Bronny's father and also his teammate with the Lakers watched his son make the first bucket.

The four-time NBA champion was seen watching his son playing while he practiced with Team USA for the upcoming Olympics.

Once James Jr. takes the court with his father, the father-son duo will write history. They will become the first father-son duo to play in the league. This will be a dream come true for the Laker superstar as his dream is to play with his son.

There is no saying how successful Bronny will be, especially in comparison to his father. The standard set by LeBron James is too high for any player to match. However, Bronny has said that he wants to build his own identity and not just be known by his father’s name.
