Fans troll Bronny James for missing open shot

Recently, during the Summer League, Bronny faced setbacks including an ankle injury and received criticism for his early shooting performances. His struggles did not end there as a viral clip showcasing a poorly missed shot got fans trolling the younger James. 


While poking fun at the missed open shot, a fan commented on the tweet, “Flight beating Bronny 1v1.”


As the video started attracting audience and #Bronny was trending for a couple of hours, the social media trolls took note of the clip. Another user wrote, “He should become a transgender and play for the WNBA at this point." 


While the pressure to live up to his father's legacy and the high standards set by his family name is undoubtedly immense, it’s tough for Bronny to avoid such intense scrutiny. He had to live with it and carry ahead his surname.

In contrast to Bronny's solid showing, the standout performance of the game came from Lakers' first-round pick, Dalton Knecht, who tallied an impressive 20 points and nine rebounds.

On the other hand, Keshad Johnson and Alondes Williams led the Heat's charge with 21 points, nine rebounds, and three assists each, overshadowing the Lakers' strong contributions.
