Paul George applauds Bronny James's skills
Bronny James has been in the tabloids for one reason or another. With some spurts of brilliance in his rookie season—dropping a couple of thirty-point performances that included high-flying alley-oops and threes—James Jr. has started his career with a promising start. However, according to most, the verdict is still pending.
Nevertheless, this didn’t deter the Philadelphia 76ers’ latest addition, Paul George, from making bold assertions on his podcast. In the newest installment of Podcast P with Paul George, PG reiterated the same sentiment, acknowledging the 20-year-old’s sagacity to “make the right plays” and his ability to “pass the s**t out” of the ball.
When I’ve seen [Bronny James] play, he makes the right plays, he doesn’t necessarily go out to be flashy. He can when he has moments, he’ll show you. He’s flashy, he’ll show you he can pass the s**t out of it. He shows you his athleticism, his finishing……I think he’s feeling the pressure that when he’s on the floor, he has to produce, he has to score, he has to do something.

However, these high praises for an unaccomplished rookie who has mostly spend his time in G-Leage from a 6x All-star and a veteran like PG13 has consensus in fits. These adulation by someone of his stature to James Jr. has enraged his fans, who are ripping apart his take in the comment section.
With a Podcast being the new norm, comes a voice and an opinion that might not get the approval from the majority. Previously, George had stated that he is still sour with the Indiana Pacers organization, as he thinks they owe him a “tribute video”.
Fans Chastize Paul George for his take on Bronny James: “Dude Is a Total Moron”
Haters have doubled down on their slating since 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey exploited Bronny James‘ defensive weaknesses and exposed the disparity in their skill levels in front of the world. Since then, Wizards fans have mockingly chanted “MVP” for Bronny when he was at the free-throw line in a recent game. and have continued their harsh criticism of the rookie. So, when PG lauded James Jr., he inevitably directed some heat toward himself.
Dude is a total moron.

The worst thing to happen to Bronny was being forced into the league and having everyone dissect his game

Amidst all the condemnation, it’s necessary to remember that every athlete goes through an evolution in the professional league. In the G-League, Bronny has been averaging 14 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game so far. He obviously has a long way to go in terms of being a viable NBA player right now. But he does seem to have some tangible skills which could help him get there.
