The Los Angeles Lakers escort, Bronny James, has been the debate center since the moment he was recruited in June.
The 20 -year -old said he tries to filter everything, but he sees everything.
“My first thought is that I always try to let it pass by one ear and get out of the other, lower my head and come to work and be positive every day. But sometimes, it simply feeds me a little. I see everything people say, and people think, as, I am a robot, as I have no feelings or emotions,” James said through athletics.

“But I only take it and use it as fuel for me to go out, wake up every day and get to the early gym, get my additional work, watch my extra movie every day, improve every day. That is what (the general manager of the Lakers Rob Pelinka) wants him to do as a young boy, entering, playing in the g league and learning from afar in the banks watching the Lakers play.
James has floated between the NBA and G-League this season. In 22 NBA games, James has averaged only 2.3 points per game, but has received more play time recently due to Lakers injuries.
The Lakers were short in their defeat by 118-89 on Thursday against Milwaukee Bucks due to a litany of injuries. His dad, LeBron James (Groin), Luka Doncic (right ankle), Austin Reaves (right ankle), Rui Hachimura (Rotula), Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle) and Vanderbilt in Jarbil (right crack).
James took the opportunity with so many of the Lakers stars. The 20 -year -old scored 17 points, and it was the first time that he had reached double figures in his young NBA career.

However, while James has been producing more lately, he ran out of a game on a game on January 29, which caused criticism of Stephen A. Smith of ESPN.
“I am supplicating LeBron James as a father: stop this. We all know that Bronny James is in the NBA due to his father,” said Smith in the “first shot” of ESPN.
Smith’s comments attracted the wrath of LeBron, who faced Smith face to face about his comments in a game at the Lakers house.
After James’s career on Thursday, he talked about taking advantage of his chance.

“Winning my trust and winning my comfort about the representatives, you know, and leave and take advantage of my opportunity if it occurs, so being ready at all times is the most important for me,” said James.
Maybe James used Smith’s comments as fuel for his great performance.
The USC product will seek to continue building on its strong performance when the Lakers play the Chicago Bulls at 10:30 PM ET on Saturday.
