Bronny James Quietly Silencing ‘Nepo Baby’ Critics in the G League

When Bronny James entered the NBA as the son of LeBron James, scrutiny arrived instantly. Critics questioned whether the Los Angeles Lakers guard had benefited from his famous last name after being selected with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Now in his second professional season, Bronny is beginning to answer those doubts with performance rather than words. During his current run with the South Bay Lakers in the NBA G League, the young guard is putting together one of the most efficient stretches of his young career and is even tracking toward basketball’s rare 50/40/90 shooting benchmark.
