Bronny James’ difficult start to life as an NBA player continues but he has one crucial ace in his hole to help guide him and that’s his father, one of the greatest players of all-time, who is insistent on protecting the 19-year-old from criticism.

Bronny James posted 12 points, one rebound and one steal in the game against the Hawks, whilst shooting for 45% and conceding just one turnover in an encouraging performance for the 55th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft.

The Los Angeles Lakers‘ legend still offered words of comfort and advise to Bronny James following a breakthrough moment in the game against the Atlanta Hawks in the Summer League after a period of poor form that saw the youngster entertain the idea of quitting for the G League.

“[He’s telling me] stay aggressive,” Bronny James revealed, post-game. Even though my shot hasn’t been falling, just to stay aggressive.”

There are very few players better positioned to offer words of advice than LeBron James, who is generally revered as the greatest or second greatest of all time alongside Michael Jordan, and with four NBA championships, eight NBA MVP awards (including finals) and 20 All-Star selections, it’s clear his advise can be relied upon.

As not just a supremely talented player, LeBron has also played over 1490 career games through a 21-year career since being selected as the first pick of the 2003 draft and with 40474 points, an NBA record, it’s also a guarantee that he knows how to shoot a basket or two too, suggesting Bronny James is in safe hands with him as a mentor.

Who do the Los Angeles Lakers play next?

The Los Angeles Lakers next take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James‘ old team, in their latest Summer League match-up which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 18 with a 21:00 ET/18:00 PT start and will be broadcast live on ESPN/ESPN+.
