Tonight LeBron James scaled yet another peak while his son was yet to come out of the shell. It has been a tough journey for Bronny James in the last few months, trying to find his form in collegiate basketball. Ever since the 19-year-old overcame a massive health scare, he has struggled to make an impact on the court. Unfortunately, he couldn’t turn the fortune around, even on his dad’s historical night.

King James stepped on the court against the Denver Nuggets, trailing 9 points behind to become the first man in NBA history to drop 40,000 points. He went on to achieve this feat without any struggle and left the Crypto.com arena in a frenzy. On the other hand, the superstar’s son had yet another underwhelming night.

The USC Trojans took on the Washington Huskies and produced a comfortable 82-75 victory. But, the team’s guard, Bronny, failed to make an impact. Coming off the bench, he played for only 14 minutes. In his short time, he didn’t make a single attempt to shoot the ball, instead recorded 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

While one may argue that the rising star played a selfless basketball, some compare him with his father’s historical performance. At the same time, he didn’t make any impact on the defensive end of the court as well, as he recorded plain and simple zeros in the steals and blocks column.

Amid this questionable performance, LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul dropped a massive update on the father-son duo NBA team up.
