The Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks in their third preseason matchup ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season. Interestingly, the Lakers had lost their previous two pre-season games and were looking to change that run in this game.

While the Lakers did come out victorious this time around, their fans did not like what they saw from their rookie Bronny James. The second-round pick performed poorly against the Bucks, failing to score in his six minutes of play. He went 0-of-4 from the field and 0-of-2 from deep. This performance garnered wild reactions from the NBA community.

The NBA community was visibly upset with the rookie’s performance. They took to social media to express their views on this. It’s important to note that, James has been dealt with a lot of criticism ever since he was drafted as the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Not only that, many analysts and fans have called his move to the Lakers as ‘Nepotism.’ However, James remains unfazed by the noise and is focused on improving his game. The Lakers rookie has the backing of his new head coach JJ Redick as well as his franchise’s GM Rob Pelinka. Hence, it remains to be seen how the 20-year-old will perform in the upcoming matches for the Lakers.
