Bronny James is done with the G-League season. Muffled by outside noise and media spotlight, he spent his rookie year developing with the South Bay Lakers.

With the season over, the former USC Trojans guard had some time on his hands. So he decided to go viral. The 6-foot-2 guard garnered a shocked reaction from his teammate after an incredible move. 

The Los Angeles Lakers' 17th pick from the 2024 draft, Dalton Knecht, was on the free-throw line when the Bronny went in for the electric dunk. He was left in complete awe of Bronny's move: 

The 20-year-old shooting guard has executed such dunks even in-game. His improved vertical prowess and scoring abilities have impressed analysts and NBA scouts. 

Bronny has had an impressive G-League season, averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.

James proved himself as a high-potential player who just needs a couple of years to develop before he can be ready to face high-pressure situations.

The Lakers have made some serious moves this offseason. There's still a lot of chatter going around, and some of it even includes LeBron James moving on.

But Bronny has refused to indulge in any rumors and said he stays away from the noise. He follows the clear instructions from his father.

The former USC player said, “We don’t really talk about that much, but I think when stuff like that does come up, he just tells me to not worry about it, not even pay attention to it.”

He's just focused on improving his game and making it back to the big league. James has shown stark improvement in the G-League, but still has a long way to go.

He does have security from the contract perspective as his agent, Rich Paul, got him a regular NBA contract instead of a two-way deal.

Now it is up to the 20-year-old shooting guard to make the most of this guaranteed opportunity.
