Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently commented on LeBron James' son Bronny's stunning garbage time 3-pointer. The 20-year-old son of the NBA legend came on the court shortly after the 4th quarter against the San Antonio Spurs, and with the score at 120-102, he sunk a basket to finish the game with a final score of 125-109.
Bronny's start to life in the NBA has been less than smooth. He was drafted by the Lakers as the 55th pick of the 2024 Draft. Immediately labelled a nepotism pick, the youngster initially struggled to find his feet, but is now beginning to show promise, He's scored at least one bucket in each of his last six games.
The game was being watched by the Playback X (formerly Twitter) account, who shared their congratulations for Bronny. They posted:
"BRONNY BUCKETS GOT GIL HYPE"
Also watching was 23-time Major winner Serena Williams's husband, Alexis Ohanian. The Reddit co-founder and entrepreneur responded immediately to Playback's post on his own X account, saying:
"NGL, I love seeing it."
Ohanian is a longstanding basketball fan. He is known to support the Milwaukee Bucks and has invested significantly in women's basketball.
