Bronny James shows that in the end could “really make an impact” for Lakeholders

Bronny James Finally got a real shot.

At the end of the tail on Thursday Thursday against Milwaukee, after a brutal part of six games in eight days, Los Angeles Lakers were drawn, with six players on various shocks, including Lebron James Due to the strained groin and Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves Due to the pain of ankle.

It meant that a little abused 20-year-old Rookie would get something Real Time to play.

Less than two years ago, Bronny suffered heart arrested during practice on USC and was in ICU, with his future in the air. Since then, not only dealt with the return on the court, but it made it under intensive supervision, after decision on Lakers to choose it as 55. Total choice in the draft 2024. Years. His father is one of the greatest players of all time, which means that the player was selected so low in the draft gave an unprecedented procedure for a microscope, subjecting to become a regular impact line on national television.

Nepotism. A joke. Undeserved. .

Bronny tried to lower her head and block the noise. Focused on work. Usually playing minutes trash after the audience on Cripto.com Arena pleaded Lakers Coach JJ Redick to set it into the game, making their case with emphasis “We want Bronny”.

But against dollars, it was not necessary to beg. Lakers required Him. He finally had enough time to facilitate the game. Develop a beat. Not to be just a caricature, it is used to enjoy a crowd in the blink of an eye.

In 30 minutes, Bronny had 17 points to 7-for 10 recording (2-for-4 of ARC), three jumps, five assists and one blocked recording.

Drove in the tape. Pulled for 3-pointers. He was inconspicuous. At one point he went to one against the double MWP Giannis Antetokounpocrossing the ball twice and blows past a large 6-foot man before losing the ball without borders. (He smiled later when he asked about the play and said he might have broken.)

The point is that the bronny did not look like a child who was from his league. Looked like a child that could belong The League – who will belong.

“I think the next step becomes as an athlete elite,” Redick said. “Because when it works, with your physical tools and only his burst and handle, we think it will be above-average good shooter of the NBA. He will have a chance to really make an impact.”

Bronny is quiet and underestimated. In the room cabinet after the games, it rarely talks to other players. It is respected. He acts like a novice that is grateful to be in the room, not the son of a billionaire.

Bronny heard all the chat about him. How can it not affect a 20-year-old trying to make a name for himself? There was no other 55 dialing in the draft subject to so much control.

His strategy to deal with everyone?

“Just putting my head and work,” Bronny said. “I feel that only I can control, going every day and ready to play, I stay ready to learn, early in the morning, such things, so I can’t do much, so I can’t do much.” I can’t do a lot, so … I can’t do much.

Before Thursday, it was easy to pick up the bronny. It was 15.6 points to 26.3 percent shooting (22.7 percent of 3) in 4.7 minutes games through 21 games. Despite these numbers that are typical for someone selected so late in the draft, they left bronnies wide open to supervision.

Once in the Leikers Player, ESPN’s Stephen Smith went to “first time” 29. January and said, “I pray Lebron James as Father: Let’s stop this. We know that Bronny James in the NBA.”

Lebron, who was under blinding lighting because he was a teenager, he drew line with that comment. During the third quarter of Lakers games earlier this month, Smith approached as he sat the courtroom and told him to leave his son.

After the game on Thursday, Smith had a different picket up bronny.

“Maybe I’m wrong,” Smith said.

Bronny is just trying to ignore it all. It doesn’t have to play professional basketball. He doesn’t need money. He also does not need this. Grinders in G League because it wants to be a professional basketball player, even if that means, in the meantime, he is a professional punching bag.

With southern fields on average 20.6 points to 43.1% recording (36.1% of 3), 5.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals in 33.5 minutes in nine competitions. His number is getting ready better and better. Like starts to trust him more.

Against Denver 14. Marta, the Lakeers were shortened and had to play 16 minutes. And on Thursday, with almost double time on the field, he had the opportunity to show what he could do.

“Tonight, she gave me an opportunity to show them what I was doing while working on the bench, I get reps, such things,” Bronny said.

It was an incredible journey for him, from fighting for his life to now make his doubts to do twice.

Bronny shows that it’s not just the Lebron James’s son.

He is a child who works in his ass, trying to make his dream come true.

And after the performance was performed, he might not be so far away to do so as they thought of his Dekracters.
