Bronny James has had a rough rookie season with the Los Angeles Lakers when it comes to the media coverage that he has been given.
After being drafted with the No. 55 overall pick by the Lakers, the media instantly started jumping all over him. It has been widely viewed that he is only in the NBA due to his dad being the great LeBron James.
He has played in 19 total games with Los Angeles this season, averaging 1.6 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.4 assist. He has shot 25% from the floor and 20% from three-point range.
It's important to remember that James is just 20 years old. He was also a late second-round pick, not a lottery selection.
Despite those facts, fans do not hesitate to troll James when given the chance.
Ahead of the Lakers' game against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, James was caught on video airballing a jump shot.

Fans did not miss the opportunity to troll LeBron's son.
"I mean I kinda feel bad for him because I'm sure he didn't ask for this situation, but at the same time....," one commenter wrote.
Another chimed in, "Wish my dad had played in the NBA, I had a string of double doubles and triple doubles in NAIA and D-II."
"My toddler using the potty for the first time," one fan added.
Yet another took a shot at both Angel Reese and James, saying "I thought that was Angel Reese for a minute!"
One commenter said, "LeBron going to report ur page next! Keep showing his son in this light."
James has found more success in the G-League this season, averaging 20.6 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 43.1% overall and 36.1% from the three-point line.
