LeBron James Jr.’s basketball debut in Los Angeles went better than his dad’s did. The 14-year-old, who goes by Bronny, scored 27 points in his first game for Santa Monica Crossroads’ eighth-grade basketball team in a win over Culver City Middle School on Monday.
Bronny, who wore No. 0 playing on the AAU circuit because of his affinity for Russell Westbrook, surprised the Los Angeles Lakers superstar by wearing his dad’s No. 23 for his new team. “I don’t know how long it’s going to last, but it definitely made me feel proud,” James said of his son’s number switch after Lakers practice Tuesday.
