Bronny James is stepping into his second NBA season with newfound confidence after a historic first year alongside his father, LeBron James. As the Los Angeles Lakers gear up for the California Classic, Bronny aims to showcase his growth in skills and gameplay. The highly anticipated matchup against Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks at the NBA Summer League on July 10 has fans buzzing, with Bronny expressing his excitement to play without the nerves that affected him in his rookie year.

Dalton Knecht, another promising Lakers rookie, is also eager to make an impact, having averaged over 9 points per game last season. The Lakers continue to build on their roster, though injury concerns linger for Adou Thiero, expected to return for training camp. Both Bronny and Knecht highlight the strong support from Lakers fans, who are always ready to back their team in Las Vegas.
