“The next level will be butterflies in my stomach,” Bronny James gets honest after scoring 4 points in Lakers debut

Bronny James post media conference

Bronny James has made his debut in the NBA as the Los Angeles Lakers played in the summer league against the Sacramento Kings. He had a poor debut scoring just 4 points but showed the future blueprints of a great defender. James also wasn’t efficient as he went 2-9 from the field and went 0-3 from deep.

Following the game, James sat down with the media and reflected on his debut performance. He even admitted that he felt the pressure during the game and was also feeling some nerves before the game. James also stated that the biggest surprise was the crowd and the atmosphere in the Golden State. 

Every first game that I step on the next level there's always some butterflies in my stomach, but as soon as the ball tips and we go a couple times down it all goes away and I'm just playing basketball.

James got the start from the Lakers and played for 22 minutes, grabbed two rebounds, and dished out two assists during his time on the court. These stats are identical to his college stats for the USC Trojans. In college, he averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He can build his stats and game in the summer league and get better as he approaches his rookie season.

Bronny James might be one of the most followed second rounds in recent NBA history. We can see him play alongside his father for the Los Angeles Lakers. Till then Bronny has to improve and build his game as he plays in the summer league.

His father wasn’t around to see his first game in the NBA but Bronny had the Los Angeles Lakers coaches around him to support him. Bronny has a chance to improve his game in the summer league and work on his weaknesses. This will help him get minutes to play in his rookie season.
