The rare James duo appearance
Bronny was given the chance to play in the final few minutes when his team had stamped the victory already, even though he failed to score any points but managed to get an assist. Although the basketball rookie is currently juggling between the NBA and the G League, his team is backing him to make contributions to the club akin to his legendary father. The four-time NBA champion LeBron James recently shared his thoughts about his son, praising him for his growth and expressing pride for his hard work.
"He's looking more and more comfortable, LeBron James said. He's just going out there and just playing off instinct. That's how he's always played. You know, I think he said after one of the games that mentally he's starting to feel better after the incident (the calf injury). Everything is starting to come back in shape, to come back in form."
With everything in place, Bronny James will be looking to make an impact in the league just like his father, as he has improved his game a lot, especially after the injury. Let's sit back and witness another James' legendary basketball story unfold.
