21 out of 52! Bronny really has talent! The most inspiring second-generation NBA player.

Against a Kings squad openly tanking for the No. 1 pick, the Lakers cruised to a 128-104 win.

Currently, the Lakers hold the sixth spot in the West at 36-24, two games ahead of the seventh-place Suns (34-26); the Kings sit last in the West and the entire league with a 14-48 record.

With the game entering garbage time early, "the prince" Bronny got about six minutes of playing time, shooting 1-for-3 from the field, including 1-for-2 from three-point range, for 3 points and 2 assists, with a plus/minus of -5.

According to statistics, since February 4th of last year, Bronny has made 21 three-pointers out of 52 attempts, a shooting percentage of 40.4%.

In his college season, Bronny averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, with shooting splits of 37%, 27%, and 68%; in his NBA rookie season, he averaged 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.8 assists, with splits of 31.3%, 28.1%, and 78.6%; so far this season, he is averaging 2.2 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists, with shooting splits of 39.7%, 41.4%, and 80%.

Even if Bronny was indeed selected by the Lakers with the 25th pick in the second round of the 2024 draft due to connections, as described above, he has genuinely shown steady improvement. His previously weakest skill, shooting, has evolved to a level where opponents dare not leave him open, and he may potentially develop into a 3-and-D guard to establish himself in the NBA.

As LeBron James' eldest son, this young man attracted immense attention and carried a spotlight even before his debut. Born on October 6, 2004, standing 6'2" with a 6'7" wingspan, he is arguably the most famous second-generation player yet remains remarkably low-key—at least so far, no negative news has been heard about him. In short, he is wholly focused on playing basketball.

He signed a four-year, $7.9 million rookie contract in 2024, with a salary of $1.16 million last season, $2.01 million this season, $2.30 million next season, and $2.49 million in the final season (team option). Therefore, Bronny doesn't need to worry about unemployment in the short term; he still has time to improve steadily and aim for a contract extension as early as next summer.

Describing Bronny with the word "inspiring" seems quite fitting.
