Bronny James has only recently played 25 games for the USC Trojans. He finished the season averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 36.6% from the field and 26.7% from three. He will be looking to make a promising start to his NBA career with his father present to guide him. It remains to be seen how Bronny James will perform in the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.
Bronny James doesn’t aspire for ‘superstar’ status like his father
All eyes will be on Bronny James for the 2024-25 NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Notably, James Jr. was once questioned regarding who he looks up to in the NBA to model his game around. According to ESPN’s Jamal Collier, the USC product avoided the obvious comparison.
Instead, he equated his play and said he expects to have an impact on winning in the same manner that Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, and Davion Mitchell have. This is what was applauded by his ‘superstar’ father, LeBron James too. On the other hand, James once claimed that his son being drafted by the Lakers was a ‘dream come true’ moment for him.
James Jr. avoided comparing himself to NBA greats like his father for example. Instead, he aims to emulate some of the league’s grittier, defensive guards. A smart pick for a player whose attacking package has never been his strongest suit. That said, a lot of expectations will be there on the rookie’s shoulders going into the new season.
