Jeanie Buss Tries To Put Positive Spin On Bronny James’ Teammates Hating Him
Bronny James was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Many criticized the move by L.A., given that they were clearly making it to appease LeBron James, but the front office didn’t mind.
When preseason commenced, Bronny confirmed everyone’s worst fears and played terribly. He wound up averaging 6.0 points on 32.7 percent shooting from the field and 13 percent shooting from beyond the arc. He also chipped in 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per outing.
Needless to say, the Lakers were left with one pretty big concern about Bronny after Summer League.
To make matters worse, following Summer League, it became apparent that at least some of Bronny’s teammates hate him. One was very vocal about it.
This week Lakers team owner Jeanie Buss appeared on AM 570 Radio and attempted to put out some fires in regards to Bronny.
“We have to let the kid have an opportunity to play and prove that he should be in a Laker uniform,” Buss said.
“Everything that we’ve seen from him and about him and his work ethic, just some of the things he’s had to overcome being the son of a big star. He works hard, he’s dedicated. He really wants to do this. And if we can have a roster of players with that same mentality, then I think the sky is the limit.”
It will be interesting to see what sort of campaign Bronny is able to put together for the Lakers in 2024. If he plays well, obviously all the other stuff will be immediately forgotten. If he doesn’t, though – it will do a lot of damage to both his reputation and LeBron’s.
