Sports commentator Skip Bayless has criticized Bronny James, son of Lakers star LeBron James, saying Bronny has not shown enough skill at the NBA level to deserve his place without his father's influence. Bronny, drafted in 2024, has played in the G League and recently gained more playing time in the Lakers due to injuries on the team.

He played one year at the University of Southern California (USC) before entering the draft.

Injuries to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves gave Bronny more playing time off the bench in the NBA.

Bronny has appeared in 42 games for the Lakers during the season but had limited minutes until recently.
In the last several games, Bronny scored in double figures three times and played at least 12 minutes in each game.
The upcoming NBA playoff series may give Bronny more opportunity to play and possibly share the court with his father, LeBron James.
