The Golden State Warriors' last NBA preseason game before the regular season saw them thrash the Los Angeles Lakers 132-74. In his debut start with the Lakers, Bronny James played well in spite of the overwhelming score. Stephen Curry stopped Bronny with some insightful messages on his style of play after the game.
Off the court, Bronny James is proving why he should be on an NBA club. Against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in the last preseason game, the rookie for the Los Angeles Lakers produced one of his greatest performances. James played 35 minutes, scoring 17 points, pulling down 4 rebounds, and dishing out 1 assist. While protecting seasoned players like Buddy Hield, the former USC Trojan further demonstrated his defensive prowess.
LeBron James' oldest son Bronny James discussed the guidance he received from Warriors player Steph Curry at a news conference following the game. “Just catching up, but mainly just, you know, him telling me to play my game and be myself. Also just giving some pointers on, you know, things to do in certain situations, but nothing, nothing too crazy.”
Los Angeles Lakers will start their NBA season against Minnesota Timberwolves
He is posting videos of himself yelling Curry's name while making three-pointers. It is now a major turning point in his path to be standing on an NBA floor, playing with his father, LeBron James, and getting guidance from one of his heroes.
The game was viewed by Lakers head coach JJ Redick as a chance to assess the team's younger players and those still competing for a position in the rotation. Because of this, he only utilized eight players during the game and rested most of his important players. Next Tuesday, the Los Angeles squad will play the Minnesota Timberwolves at Crypto Arena, and Bronny and the Lakers hope to get off to a strong start.
