NBA Fans React To Bronny James’ Performance
@MrF1ashy: “Don’t be surprised if this is Bronny James last year in the NBA.”
@BSaarX: “Bronny James hasn’t scored a point in his last 25 minutes lol. Lakers G League team just traded for Timme who average almost a double double when given a chance. You telling me Bronny is better than Timme? Come on”
@MarloGueva52766: “If only he had help with the playmaking. I thought bronny was supposed to be a point guard”
@iAM_Vance: “Man give Bronny some burn”
@AyeMrRager: “Please Bronny do something”
@DDSN_us: “Bronny and Vanderbilt are unplayable for the Lakers”
@Skhulu_101: “Nah man they gotta let Bronny hoop”
@DeadleeMcdagger: “Why bronny not attacking…he spawn camping in the corner 😖”

Austin Reaves led the Lakers with 28 points and 16 assists while shooting 9/24 from the field.
He has stepped up in a major way (while the Lakers are playing without superstars LeBron James and Luka Doncic).
Via @LakeShowYo: “LAKERS WIN AFTER BLOWING 20 POINT LEAD VS TIMBERWOLVES 😭🔥 Reaves: 28 PTS | 16 AST 🐐🐐🐐 LaRavia: 27 PTS (10/11 FG) | 8 REB Ayton: 17 PTS (8/11 FG) | 10 REB | 3 AST Rui: 17 PTS | 5 REB | 4 AST Knecht: 15 PTS”

>AUSTIN REAVES IS HIM.— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) October 30, 2025
Bronny came into the night with averages of 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per contest through his first two games of the 2025-26 season.
He’s lived his dream and LeBron his lived his dream. Time for Bronny to go overseas, he’s not for the NBA.
Give Bronny a chance. He only played for 5 minutes. He’s just warming up. Nobody has a stellar game all the time. STOP expecting him to play like his dad,he is his own man
🗑🚽💩 👈🏾Bronny’s game
He garbage. Not being negative. I am gladnhe got the chance based his father’s career and influence. He is not an NBA type of player. I seen nothing in college parlays into a pro career as a 12th man.
