Lakers: Fans go wild over LeBron James’ claim Bronny could play for LA ‘right now’
|LeBron James is visibly frustrated with the performance of the Los Angeles Lakers, reaching a point where he expressed that his son, Bronny James, could potentially join the team immediately. This surprising statement has stirred up considerable conversation among basketball enthusiasts.
The Lakers recently suffered a defeat against the Memphis Grizzlies, with a final score of 127-113. Despite a competitive game for the majority of the match, the Lakers faltered in the fourth quarter, allowing Ja Morant and his team to outscore them by a significant margin. This loss marks the Lakers’ fourth consecutive defeat and their eighth in the last 10 games, further fueling disappointment among fans.
Following the game, LeBron James, who delivered an impressive performance with 32 points, five rebounds, and five steals, openly expressed his frustration during discussions with reporters in the locker room. The 39-year-old forward bluntly acknowledged that the team is currently performing poorly, stating that they simply “suck” at the moment.
In a moment of apparent exasperation, James was overheard conversing with his teammate Austin Reaves, suggesting that his son, Bronny, could step onto the court and contribute to the Lakers’ efforts given their current level of play. The remark reportedly occurred during Anthony Davis’ media session, as well as in a private conversation with Reaves. When questioned about Bronny’s potential participation in USC basketball’s upcoming game against Stanford, LeBron asserted, “He could play for us right now. Easy. EASY.”
The statement has elicited a range of reactions from fans, with some expressing surprise, others finding humor in LeBron’s remarks, and many acknowledging the underlying truth behind his frustration. Amidst the discussion, some fans even went as far as to suggest that Bronny could offer more productivity to the Lakers than certain current players on the roster.
