[Highlights] Bronny James full highlights vs. San Antonio Spurs (108-136 L): A season-high 12 Points on 5⁄10 FG, 2⁄2 from 3, 3 Rebounds, 6 Assists (2 TOV), 1 Block, 3 PF, and a +/- of -6 in 25:22 minutes played
honest question
is he better than gabe vincent
Yes
Like as a basketball player, yes. As a 3 point shooter, no. I think that’s literally the only reason Gabe got minutes
He has both a higher career 3 and this season 3pt percentage now lol
Yeah Gabe was dogshit this season. He was one of our better 3 point shooters last season, especially post ASB
Plus Gabe’s contract. They needed to get something for him and one of the only ways was to play him
Yeah. His regression from last season was awful this year.
Bronnys 3 percentage this year beats Gabe Vincents best year. Gabe was a terrible 3 shooter. He just had some big moments where he would hit a few in a row. But on average, terrible
My neighbor’s cat is better than Gabe Vincent.
Not my cat tho. My cat can’t go left.
That’s ok, neither can Gabe Vincent.
People lost their shit at us taking Bronny at 55, but he’s outlasted our 17th pick JHS, and honestly has more promise as an NBA player than our other 17th pick, Knecht.
He’s the son of LBJ, playing on the same team. Gee I wonder why he’s lasted longer.
Yeah I mean let’s not get too delulu. As long as Dad is on the team Bronny will be too
Two things can be true at once, he’s showing improvement but also outlasting other fringe players cause of dad
No he’s outlasting because he’s shown growth and better long term prospect at this point regarded of dad
That’s a very good joke
It’s not like he’s shown leap and bound growth. He’s just shooting the ball better. Let’s not act like he’s shown anything special.
Yes, he’s still there cause of dad
You can’t be serious lol, he’s outlasted because of his father lol. Any other team and he’s cut.
Gabe is a way better 3 point shooter. Percentage wise they are similar, but Gabe shoots hard as shit shots and also can create his own 3 point shot with his step back.
Beyond that, Bronny is overall the better player.
Bronny has some more size to him so he can hold better against bigger players. If Gabe had like 20 more pounds his effort boxing out would make him really good on defense, but as is he gets pushed around. Hes in the right spot but can’t do much to hold them back because he’s a feather.
Bronny can actually score in the paint and around the rim. Gabe just cant drive at all whether its from fear of getting blocked or not having the handles, he almost never attempted 2 point shots.
Both can facilitate but Gabe was just there to make the extra pass while Bronny can actually make plays albeit his dribbling is still a little sus when he faces hard defense.
Bronny created his own shot too tho - bronny is able to generate easier looks too because he’s actually athletic and can blow by guys. He can finish athletically , Gabe meanwhile passes up layups
You gotta look at some Gabe highlights (lmao)
He has a crazy big step back that lets him get far away from his defender. Plus he has a fast release so the moment he sees he’s open he launches that shit.
Bronny sure can dribble around to get open but he has more motion to his release so he needs to be more open to be willing to shoot. Bronny is also looking for that next pass, so he’ll pass up some situations to get to the open man.
Gabe just launches when he’s open. If he’s not and his step back doesn’t look like it’d get him open, he just passes immediately without surveillance. Because him holding the ball is bad because teams know he isn’t doing anything besides pass or 3.
Prime Gabe is like if Steph could only shoot step back 3’s and literally could do nothing else.
Definitely
I’ve watched a few Lakers games and he would just run up and down the court and not do much. He’s supposedly a 3&D guy.
Wait he isn’t a cardio guy?
It depends whether he plays for the Heat or not.
6 assists of the bench is pretty good if u ask me.
It is but two of those were not assists. Actually crazy that he was credited for the assist to Kleber and Timme
John Stockton would like to have a word with u.
50% of Jokic assists look exactly like that
Not really true. The most egregious ones Jokic gets are usually off his handoff where the player then drives, where he gets it if they do 2 dribbles then an immediate pull up or layup. These are not most of his assists either which are usually kick outs for 3, dishes to cutters, or handoffs to an immediate 3. He also gets flamed for those drive in assists and again, those aren’t most of his assists.
Those two assists by Bronny were: pass followed by a 2 dribble drive followed by a full stop turnaround spin move, and pass followed 3 dribbles (with one being a top of the key crossover) to a layup. Both of them are actually worse than the ones I’ve seen people complain about for Jokic. Scorekeeper was definitely feeling generous.
Personally I’m not against generous assist counting but saying that those are 50% of Jokic’s assists is straight propaganda and not even close to true.
Gottem
Got em reallll good. If you feel the need to write a 250 word defence of a single facet of your favourite players game.. you might be too invested.
Did he get the one to vando on the break? If not he got sold anyway
No that’s just an offensive rebound and score for Vando
Yeah but he had a great pass to Vando on that fastbreak who completely smoked that layup. 6 assists just shows that he’s keeping the ball moving basically, which he was.
We got the Grizzlies scorers now at Crypto I guess.
I thought the united center stats people already retired?
That’s kinda common fir most assist totals tbh
And one was a random hayes 3. I mean sure bronny passed it to him and he just threw it but hayes has shot like 5 threes the entire season so it was a nothing play really
His defense is exactly what we need….but this guy needs to develop any form of offensive game
I think he can be a good 3 and D guy. He played on ball defense very well for sure
I mean is it really? He looks decent against the scrubs of the scurbs, the literal trash heap of the NBA. He never plays against any real NBA level competition, just end-of-bench victory cigars. Can he actually keep up 20 minutes against the main squads? Big doubt.
So are we just going to ignore the fact that he guarded Wemby? Or the fact that he was the primary reason for assists and almost making a comeback when the game was 126 - 100. Bronny def deserves more minutes ahead of Gabe’s or Vandos imo. He can really contribute to the team, and be a good role player - all star if the Lakers were serious in his development.
I mean, All Star is a serious serious stretch. But capable role player for sure.
Gabe isn’t on the team anymore
Also Wemby dropped a 40 piece
Didn’t he have like 30 in the first quarter though?
Wemby had 40 in like 10 minutes??? And the Lakers put him on when they were down 30 lmao
Bro is a joke, but hey, I would be totally stoked if daddy got me a job I’m unqualified for and $12M dollars, so all good. I’d tell anybody to laugh at me all the way to the bank. I assume he has the same mentality.
This whole “unqualified” thing is dumb when you look at what he’s done in the g league. He’s significantly better than players drafted ahead of him in the same draft.
How is that unqualified? I swear people decided this day one and refuse to let new information in.
Extreme levels of jealousy
He shut down a 7”6 guy. So as a Spurs fan are you saying Wemby isn’t a real NBA level talent?
Wemby had 40⁄12 hahahaha
Don’t be dumb. You know what I meant. Quit acting like they had a 6 foot guy guard a 7”6 guy the whole game. He shut him down in the video and you probably didn’t even watch that to know what I meant.
Wow, very sensitive.
I don’t even understand the foul call by the ref there. Bronny reached in on him three times. His arm was almost fully extended across Wemby’s body. Then Wemby tried to pull up for a jumper and they called a foul.
He didn’t shut anybody down lmao
Lesperm>>>>>>Gabe “Cardio” Vincent
Ngl if I was an expansion team I’d definitely take a gamble on him.
Project player, but the upside is definitely there
The marketing aspect would be a huge plus too for an expansion team. The jersey sales and shit
He’s doing what he needs to do, while looking to be a good kid who’s willing to put in the work, and who also brings in the extra marketing
I honestly don’t know what the people who say he doesn’t have a place in the NBA are talking about. Depending on how he continues he can have a career even after his father retires, not the “keep him for another 6 months after LBJ and then ditch him” like I saw people suggest online when he came around lol
Easily
Reverse psychology
He should work out with deuce McBride in the offseason. If he can make 50% of the leap deuce did, he would easily be in this lakers teams rotation
I can see Bronny looking like a solid role player in the coming years. He’s got the LeSperm genetics
He looks like he has his dad basketball IQ. Like the announcers were saying he needs to be more aggressive and he needs to be more confident in what he can do. I’m guessing that is a tough mindset to have with your dad being in the conversation for the goat.
Bronny>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gabe Cardio
hairline already in the prime
Reminds me of Davion Mitchell no?
Bronny named Jrue Holiday, Davion Mitchell and Derrick White as players who affect winning in the way he wants to. Lakers head coach JJ Redick believes Bronny James should emulate his game after T.J. McConnell and Davion Mitchell.

I guess Bronny did emulate his game after Davion Mitchell.
Davion is a pretty good shooter tho
Wasn’t untill This year he was awful on offence
Bronny has a much bigger frame, better hops, but probably slightly slower foot speed on D (even though he’s still very effective).
Better 3pt form. Although volume needs to be there in higher stakes games to see what his real percentage would be. He’s a confidence based player
Ngl I want him to succeed so bad , partially cuz he’s lebronz son + we the same class and been following him for a while
If he can just provide energy + defense and hit a 3 semi consistently he’ll be see playing time
Easily the lakers best bench player, dalton knecht and larivia could be argued middle school level players
Out of all our young players, I want him and Adou long term, need that energy.
I watched the entire game non highlights
IMO he still seems hesitant to shoot and was not driving to the rim. His rotations to start were bad (not only him tbf) litterally running circles around him. He was tidy with the ball and got more confident as the game went on.
The main problem is after playing 25min tonight he is gonna go back to 1-5 minutes.
At first glance I thought that said 5⁄0 FG’s. I was like damn, that really is impressive.
Bronny historically owns us
Other players played
Just let him play.
Some nice plays by Bronny. Were some of those highlights really counted as assists? Seemed pretty generous on a few of them lol.
Good to see the rook out there.
Meaningless stats, apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Why is he getting this highlights?
Hmm… Gee I wonder!
You’re commenting on it 🤣
Why is this even a post
lol the downvotes. Yall are just crazy. I guess we be posting -6 plus minus highlights now.
because people on this sub only post the negative about him
Only a -6 plus minus in a huge blowout isn’t too bad lol, he did better than lots of the others
worthy of a highlight post according to many people here
people can post whatever they want
When are people going to stop pretending like him being LeBrons son isn’t enough for him to be in the spotlight? Obviously people want to be updated and talk about how he plays.
