NBA fans are raging against Bronny James, after King James’ son looked idiotically slow during the matchup against the Pistons. A viral video is going around showing Bronny just standing there when the ball is passed to him.
Of course, the Lakers lost the game to Detroit with a massive score difference. LeBron James’ son played for just four minutes and did not score anything, while his father managed to chalk up 17 points. Fans have been putting Bronny on blast ever since the video went viral.
“Bronny asleep out there he don’t even like basketball (crying emoji 2)” Brick Center tweeted, sharing the viral clip.

“That’s how the whole team is playing. A shame to watch,” one fan derided not just Bronny, but the entire Lakers roster.
“They shoulda drafted him to another team. His story would be way different,” another fan said.
“Bro forgot he was in the league for a min,” one more fan trolled.
Not just Bronny James, but his own dad has not been playing his best throughout this ongoing campaign. King James was out of the first few weeks of the season after a battle with sciatica, but age seems to be catching up with the legend who has slowed down over the last couple of seasons.
NBA Fans Justify Bronny James’ Actions After Major Fumble
On another note, many NBA fans even justified Bronny James for missing the ball, especially since the ball came flying at him at the end of the blowout defeat. Many are calling out Brick Center for choosing to target Bronny and that it was not his fault.
“Why would he be expecting a pass to him from the other team at the end of a blowout loss?” one fan questioned.

“Yall acting like it was a pass from his teammate, lets talk about the n**ga that made a dumb a** pass & got the TO lol,” one more fan clarified.
“The game was over, plus he wasn’t expecting the opposing player to throw the ball at him,” another fan added.
No matter the situation, it is clear that Bronny James has a target on his back for trolls in the league. It seems like fans are still not okay with the massive nepotism that took place with Bronny entering the Lakers to play alongside his father.
