Fan Reactions
@talesofcsoplahia: “I’mg glad Bronny has stayed quiet, kept his head down, and made improvement. Nobody is expecting him to be half as good as his father, but he works hard and has a great attitude. That will go a long way.”
@kungfukenny9300: “For a 55th pick. that was a solid performance bronny. keep going.”
@jamestatler4569: “My father have been a long time house electrician for the James family. Whenever there’s major task he brings me along to help. I always see Lebron and little Bronny watching and reviewing game tapes. The kid basically grew up studying basketball with his dad. Bronny is so nice that he often casually talks to me and my dad also. I’m rooting for the kid.”
@NoelRamos-d9x: ‘LeBron is probably fighting back tears like, “Man, I really made a teammate!”’
@plpa8250: “Gotta admit, LA has a pretty good development program considering all the surprises that came out from the Lakers. Caruso, Reaves, Knect is doing good, and Bronny is gradually getting good.”
@sdc2008: “Lakers – 3 floor generals and 3 defensive specialist still hung around. Great experience for the low minutes guys. Gabe and Dalton is really gonna appreciate the wide open shots they’ll get from having a full roster. Still good effort and avoided any further injuries.”
