BRONNY James’ NBA career is underway at the Summer League with the Los Angeles Lakers, but not everyone is convinced by his talent.
The Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown, this year’s NBA Finals MVP, sat courtside for the Lakers-Celtics Summer League matchup and was caught talking about Bronny.

Brown sat courtside with WNBA star rookie Angel Reese and his girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick.
While they took in the game, Brown was seen on video leaning over toward them and making a comment about the performance.
In the video, Brown appeared to say, “I don’t think Bronny is a pro.”
Brown was quick to notice that his sideline comments were picked up on camera, and shared that he looks forward to seeing Bronny’s growth in a tweet.
“It’s a flex to have your son alongside you in the nba it reflects greatness and longevity!” he wrote.
“Bronny has all the tools around him to be successful I look forward to watching his growth.”
Bronny, born LeBron Raymone James Jr., was drafted with the No. 55 pick in the NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers to play alongside his dad, LeBron James.
The pick was questioned by many, as Bronny didn’t have the flashiest stats in college, but he did impress at the NBA combine.
The Summer League served as a chance for Bronny to prove he can compete against NBA talent, but he has struggled out of the gate.
He has only shot 6-for-26 from the field, and 12 of those 20 misses have been from three.

Bronny has yet to make a three-pointer and has only scored 15 points across three games.
His biggest strength has been his defense, consistently notching steals and blocks during his appearances in the Summer League.
Still, he is going to need to register more offensive production if he wants to open the season in the NBA and not in the G-League.
Bronny appears to understand this but doesn’t sound concerned about his level of play at the moment.
What the new TV deal means for the NBA?
By The U.S. Sun’s Assistant Sports Editor Damian Burchardt.
THE new TV rights deal is promising to be a humongous win for NBA players.
The league is set to more than double the revenue coming from its media partners, pocketing about $6.9 billion per year, which will inevitably lead to a huge salary cap spike in 2025-26.
That is going to send the value of player contracts skyrocketing.
Projected figures suggest we might see the first $100 million-per-year deal being signed soon.
Currently, Boston Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum is projected to earn the highest single-season salary in NBA history, collecting $71.5 million in 2029-30.
It does feel like basketball fans would be on the losing side of the fight if the NBA and TNT indeed parted ways, though.
Inside the NBA is a one-of-a-kind sports entertainment show, as evidenced by ESPN’s ongoing failure to come up with its own version of the program in recent years.
The NBA won’t be the same without Kenny and Ernie trying to make sense of Shaq and Chuck’s never-ending bickering every Tuesday night.
“I just feel like I’m in a little slump right now,” he said after a game against the Houston Rockets on Friday.
Bronny has two more games coming up to break out of his slump and prove that he belongs in the league.
The Lakers match up against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday and will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.
Whether or not he makes it onto the Lakers’ NBA roster, Bronny is looking forward to playing basketball at the next level.
“I’m just looking forward to any basketball I play, no matter what level I’m playing at,” he said.
