James Worthy not a fan of Lakers possibly picking Bronny James in NBA draft

Los Angeles Lakers legend and NBA Hall of Famer James Worthy went off on Bronny James and the Lakers while on a hot mic after being live for JJ Redick’s first Lakers’ press conference. The comments, shared by LakersDaily, came from a recent interview with Worthy, who was part of the great Showtime Lakers teams of the 1980s. Worthy and his co-hosts on Spectrum SportsNet threw shade at former USC guard Bronny James.

“Who we gonna be waiting for on the second day? Well, he’s the ‘greatest’ young player ever right now, Bronny, that’s what I’m gonna say,” Worthy said in a sarcastic voice.

“They took their time. They waited, while we were trading (Brandon) Ingram, (Julius) Randle, (Kentavious Caldwell) Pope gone, brotha up in Sacramento (Malik) Monk gone… and then we weren’t getting anything for it, (Russell) Westbrook gone.

“The ink will lead back to the problem,” Worthy added.

The Lakers are projected to take Bronny James at pick No. 55 in the second round which is on Day 2 of the 2024 NBA draft.
