Is Skip Bayless Right About Lakers Star Bronny James?

Over the summer, the Lakers made the decision to draft his son (Bronny).

While the former USC guard has gotten limited playing time in the NBA, he is already one of the most notable players in the league.

On February 1, Skip Bayless made a bold claim about Bronny.

His post (via X) had over 700 likes.

Bayless wrote: "Bronny James is now even more popular than his father."

Many people commented on his post.

@clinkie44: "He’ll be your nightmare for 20 more years "

@TheRealBingz: "Go into retirement Skip, my lord."

@MillerDavi10407: "How is he more popular than his father? Stupid comment."

@ChasePhillips19: "This is literally the most dumb tweet you’ve ever made. Not even close"

While Bayless is likely wrong, Bronny's popularity has exceeded even big expectations.

Whenever JJ Redick would give the 20-year-old playing time, the crowd (home and away) would be extremely active.

Via House of Highlights (on January 30): "Lakers fans showing Bronny love with MVP chants in DC ❤️"

Bronny averaged 2.3 points per contest while shooting 31.3% from the field and 28.1% from the three-point range in 27 games.
