“Bronny had the best game of his young professional career, tallying a career-high 30 points on 13-of-23 shooting with three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal,” Phelps said.
“With only three games of NBA action on Thursday due to the NBA Cup, the league decided to make a post celebrating Bronny’s big night, which included a highlight reel.”
“Bronny James dropped an NBA G League career-high 30 PTS tonight!” the NBA wrote on X.”
“However, this choice by the NBA didn’t sit well with some fans, calling the league out for posting about a G League performance. Despite it reaching 500,000 views and Bronny being one of the more popular names, given he is the son of LeBron James, fans took to social media to leave their complaints about the post.”
“The amount of attention he gets is disrespectful to players that are actually good,” one fan wrote.”
“NBA Account posting g-league Highlight lmao,” added another. “LeBron really has a lot of pull.”
“They should highlight more g league players if they’re gonna do this,” said a third. “Props to bronny for sure but he shouldn’t be the only one getting attention for his play in the g league.”
“I ain’t never seen a G league player get this much media coverage,” commented a third. “Might as well start covering players from LA Fitness or the YMCA.”
“LMAOOO this is so lameeeee,” chimed in a fifth.”
“This why the viewership is down… don’t nobody wanna hear about what Bronny doing in the G League, it’s too many young hoopers in the league that needs some attention,” posted a sixth.”
Do you agree with the backlash Bronny’s coverage received online?
