The Los Angeles Lakers are down both of their superstar players for the time being in LeBron James and Luka Doncic. The absence of the two has led to an expanded role for guard Austin Reaves, which he has taken full advantage of, scoring over 50 points in one contest and hitting the game-winner as time expired in another.
However, the losses also served as an opportunity for another Lakers guard to get some increased run, point guard Bronny James, the son of his teammate LeBron. Unfortunately, the second-year player has yet to find his rhythm.
Now, one former Laker is letting Bronny hear it.
“Bronny, you’re in a great position to take a charge. Bronny, where the heck is you going? This is what happens when a kid is a gold ticket. This boy doesn’t want to be touched – Charmin tissue soft,” Kwame Brown said. “It’s his second year in the league. He should be as strong as an ox. What are you doing sliding away from contact?”
Brown finishes off my mocking LeBron, making an embarrassment of both the James on the roster.

Fans reacted to Brown ripping Bronny on social media.
“Say what you want about Kwame but dude is for sure on point with his takes. And if we are real maybe Kwame fell victim to mike and his first draft pick,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“For those out there saying ‘it’s just a second round pick, he won’t play’ this is why you take a guy deserving of the spot because injuries happen and when you get minutes you have to be productive as a pro and he isn’t that,” someone else added.
“We need to apply to be in the league lol . They giving out free money,” one fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if Bronny remains in the NBA after his father retires.
