The start of NBA training camp is just a few weeks away, and for Bronny James, it marks his second season — one that could bring more opportunities with the pro team after spending much of his rookie year in the G League with the South Bay Lakers.
James impressed in Summer League with the Lakers, even while playing under a minutes restriction for most of his appearances.
This summer, Bronny has also picked up golf, learning the game alongside his father, LeBron James. On Tuesday, an exciting off-court development was announced on social media involving Bronny.
He’s set to appear in an upcoming video with popular YouTube golfer Grant Horvat, which will be released Wednesday. Horvat teased the collaboration by posting a short clip and caption featuring Bronny:
“Bronny’s only been playing for 4 months. Y’all won’t believe this video tomorrow,” Horvat wrote.
In the clip, Horvat asked, “So you only been playing for four months?”
“Yeah,” Bronny replied — before hitting a perfect shot off the tee.

Fans reacted to Horvat’s post:
“That’s an incredibly good swing for 4 months!” A fan said.
Someone else added, “his is an awesome guest can’t wait for this episode.”
Another person wrote, “His swing is so much better than his dad’s. And his demeanor is much better than the last video I saw of his dads. However, when it comes to hoops, no contest. He should just focus on golf.”
“Sure doesn’t look like he’s only been striping seeds for 4 months,” one more fan commented.

Bronny James has taken an unusual path to the NBA. A top recruit coming out of high school, he committed to USC, but before his freshman season began, he suffered a cardiac arrest that sidelined him for much of the year.
Although he was eventually cleared to return, the setback hurt his draft stock. Still, he chose to declare for the draft, and the Lakers selected him with the No. 55 overall pick — pairing him with his father, LeBron James, who made history last season as part of the NBA’s first father-son duo to share the court.
