After a controversial rookie season plagued by unrealistic expectations and wild narratives, Bronny James has flipped the script in Summer League 2025–26. With back-to-back standout performances, Bronny is reminding people why he was once a 5-star All-American—and shutting down the “nepo baby” talk once and for all.
In this episode of the Lakers Land Podcast, host Seven Mitchell takes a deep dive into Bronny’s development, the unfair pressure he faced last year, and how fans completely missed the context behind his slow start.
We’ll break down Bronny’s last three games, how his defensive IQ, pace, and confidence have elevated, and whether the Lakers actually struck gold at No. 55 overall. Plus, with LeBron James possibly entering his final season, we explore what this unique father-son pairing could mean for the Lakers—on and off the court.
Bronny’s numbers this Summer League are strong:
14.3 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 3.8 APG, 48% FG in just 24 MPG. But the eye test says even more.
💬 Let us know in the comments: Did fans judge Bronny too soon?
