BRONNY SCORES FIRST NBA POINTS

In a memorable moment for Bronny James, he scored his first NBA points during the Los Angeles Lakers’ 134-110 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Playing in the same arena where his father, LeBron James, built his legacy, Bronny experienced a full-circle moment that was both emotional and significant. As the Cavaliers held a commanding lead late in the fourth quarter, the Cleveland crowd began chanting “we want Bronny,” eagerly anticipating his entry into the game. With 5:16 remaining, their wish was granted.

Bronny made his mark with a smooth 14-foot jumper from the left corner with just 2:03 left on the clock, igniting cheers from the crowd. “To see him get his first NBA basket in this arena, where he grew up not too far away, that’s an unbelievable moment,” LeBron remarked, reflecting on the occasion's importance for their family. Bronny himself was taken aback by the reception, saying, “It was much more than I anticipated... It was a nice moment. The chants really got me.”

In his second appearance of the season, Bronny played for five minutes, finishing with two points, two assists, and one steal. His debut against the Cavaliers, a team his father famously led to an NBA championship, added to the special nature of the moment. Although the Lakers faced a tough defeat, Bronny’s scoring opportunity marked a significant milestone in his young career. As he looks to build on this performance, fans are eager to see how he will contribute to the Lakers moving forward.

Cleveland Cavaliers is the only NBA team to have won their opening five games.
