Jaylen Brown Praises Lakers’ Bronny James After Fans Think He Insulted Him In Viral Video: ‘He Has All the Tools’

Talented Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is seemingly responding to a viral video that seemed to suggest he doubted the potential success of Bronny James in the NBA.

During Monday’s Summer League game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Celtics, Bronny struggled on offense and even shot an air ball from the 3-point line. As Brown sat court-side with his girlfriend and WNBA rookie sensation Angel Reese, he was caught on NBA TV’s sideline cameras appearing to say, “I don’t think Bronny is a pro.”

However, Brown quickly clarified his statement on X, stating that James “has all the tools around him to be successful” and said he’s excited to watch his growth as a player. It’s worth noting that it’s not entirely clear from the video whether Brown was specifically referring to James’ ability to play in the NBA. Nevertheless, the moment captured the attention of the internet, leading the NBA Finals MVP to address the situation.

Of course, there are many lingering questions regarding Bronny James’ short and long-term outlook in the league after suffering from cardiac arrest and being drafted 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Still, Bronny fulfills his father LeBron’s long-held aspiration of playing alongside his son on the same NBA team. The father-son duo marks a historic moment in the NBA, as it is the first time such a pairing has shared a roster.

Bronny’s rookie deal is set for four years and is worth $7.9 million, with a team option for the fourth season. With his talent and the support of the Lakers organization, it will be fascinating to see how Bronny’s career unfolds in the coming years.
