Bronny James spent his childhood witnessing his father, LeBron James, dominate the basketball court. Inspired by his father’s legacy, Bronny pursued his basketball dreams, which led to his selection by the Los Angeles Lakers in this year’s draft. Since then, Bronny has been in the spotlight, and his latest headline-grabbing moment came when he ranked his favorite NBA player of all time.
ESPN recently asked the younger James to name his top five NBA players. His father, a four-time NBA champion with numerous accolades and a strong contender for the ‘GOAT’ title, was at the top of his list.

Following his father’s name, Bronny listed Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as his other all-time favorites.
However, NBA fans are dissatisfied with Bronny’s top five picks, considering it one of the worst lists from an NBA player.

Fans did not hesitate to mock the young star for his choice. Many criticized his choices for excluding Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Russell Westbrook.

Bronny James to Spend Majority of First NBA Season in G League
Bronny James has faced significant challenges in the Summer League as he struggles to adapt to the NBA. His performance so far has been underwhelming. The 19-year-old recorded just 15 points in three games and a disappointing 0-12 from the three-point line.
NBA fans have expressed frustration with his early struggles, and a new development has emerged. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski shared some surprising news during his appearance on SportsCenter. Wojnarowski revealed that Bronny is expected to spend most of the season in the G League.
“Well, what the Lakers’ expectations are is he’ll largely be a G League player like almost any 19-year-old player coming into the league drafted in the second round,” Wojnarowski said, per Lakers Nation.
Nevertheless, there is still plans for Bronny to make a notable appearance with the Lakers.
“What you’ll ultimately probably see is Bronny James in the first week of the season on the court with his father in a very… I don’t want to call it ceremonial, but the eyes of the world will be on that,” Wojnarowski added.
