Even before his arrival in the NBA, Bronny James made noise on the Lakers side thanks to the Summer League. Not easy to live with for LeBron’s son, or even… for his teammates.
One of them spoke about the young player and the hype surrounding him.
In a few weeks, Bronny James will make his official debut with the Lakers. Even before the regular season, LeBron’s son will have to start training camp with JJ Redick as coach and his father as teammate.
It promises to be special for the former USC player, especially since the media will be numerous to follow his exploits in the NBA.
Will Bronny spend a lot of time in the league, or will he play in the G-League? For the moment, we are leaning towards the second option, which will allow him to get minutes and continue to develop his game and his potential, whatever it may be.
Nevertheless, and so far, James is making a very good impression on his counterparts.
Bronny James praised by the Lakers
Several teammates were able to notice this in the Summer League last July. Bronny let go of a few good performances at the end, even if his shooting percentage was clearly not glorious.
Not a problem for Kyle Mangas, who was with the Angelinos at the time, and here is what he has to say about Bronny and the media attention.

A cash icon on Bronny to the Lakers: “I don’t blame LeBron because as a black man…
Kyle Mangas on Bronny James: “He’s a great guy, pretty discreet, very relaxed. He also works very hard. But there is a lot of media around him.
Sometimes we got off the bus and there were 250 people around him to film him and watch him walk to the hotel. It’s sad for a kid who finds himself like that, there’s a lot of pressure.”
Bronny will have to manage this as best he can, which is clearly not easy at his young age.
Fortunately, his father and his clan will be close to him to support him, especially since his first NBA games will not calm all that down.
He will have to be mentally strong.
Bronny James is very appreciated by his teammates, although the attention paid to him could become a serious problem.
The Lakers are warned, they will do their best to protect him. And as much as is needed.
