The G League South Bay Lakers lost to the Valley Suns, 106-100, but the story of the game was James.
Bronny dropped 30 points on the Valley Suns on 13-for-23 from the field to go along with three rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block.
The reaction on X was explosive on Thursday night in reaction to Bronny’s big performance. User @jbondwagon hilariously suggested that Bronny should immediately replace Gabe Vincent on the Lakers.
“I’ve seen enough. Bronny > Gabe Vincent,” his post read.
James was drafted at No. 55 overall by the Lakers this past summer. Bronny began the season on the Lakers bench but was assigned to the G League in early November.
It appears that the G League is doing wonders for Bronny’s development already. James was unable to play a full college season at USC due to a frightening cardiac arrest he suffered in July of 2023.
It’s great to see Bronny balling out at the professional level less than two years after the health scare.
