Few players have been criticized as much as Bruni James. The youngster of the Los Angeles Lakers and the son of LeBron James are in a bad high school and the outdoor noise has only intensified since it reached the NBA.
After just one season with USSC at the college level, in which he missed his time due to a heart attack he suffered in the summer before his first year of school, he chose James to enter the draft 2024 NBA. Lakers used the 55th general number in James, united with the Sustaur’s father and fulfilled his dream of reaching NBA.
Since then, 20-year-old James has shared time between Lakers and the World League, and has also faced many questions. After securing an average of 4.8 points in college, James scores an average of 1.6 points in the limited minute with Likers.

In an interview with Atletico, James admitted to hearing what his critics are saying. He just tries to use it as an additional motivation at the same time to continue to grow.
“My first thinking about everything is that I always try to let it go through one ear and the other ears go out, put my head down and come to work every day and be positive,” James said. “But sometimes just, gives me a little fuel. I see everything people say, and people think, like I’m a F—ing robot, as if I had no feelings.
James said he had put his job out of the pitch while he was following Rob Pilinka’s plan to develop the Lakers’ general director.
“But I just take that and use it as a fuel to go out, wake up every day and get to the gym early, bring my extra work inside, watch my extra movies every day, to be better every day,” James said. “It’s what Rob wants me to do as a young boy, he comes in, playing in the G and learning learning from a distance on the bench that watches the Lackers games.
James has been somewhat productive in nine games for GASS Bay Likers in the G. Each game averages 20.6 points and 5.1 assists, while 36.1% scores from three points.
