Bronny James, the No. 55 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft, has been under immense pressure as a rookie with the Los Angeles Lakers. The attention surrounding him, being LeBron James's son, has affected his mental health, leading him to admit it was overwhelming.

Despite criticism suggesting he only made the team due to his father’s fame, Bronny proved himself in the G League by averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists. Lakers coach JJ Redick believes in his potential to become a strong NBA shooter. Bronny's strategy is to focus on hard work and improvement, aiming to block out distractions as he develops his game.
