NBA Fans Implode as LeBron James’ Son Bronny James Marginally Outplays Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Brother

Bronny James, son of LeBron James, and Thanasis Antetokounmpo, brother of Giannis Antetokounmpo, faced off on Saturday. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated their guest, the Milwaukee Bucks, 119-95, in the match held at Fiserv Forum Stadium. The buildup was all about the MVP battle between Luka Doncic and Giannis, but another story has been added to the blockbuster contest.

Broni and Thanassis faced each other in garbage time, and the outcome was already decided. The two had very different roles that night as Bronny started for the Lakers, while Thanassis came off the bench and logged his minutes once the game was out of reach.

LeBron James’ son slightly outdone Giannis Antetokounmpo’s brother, tallying one rebound, one assist and one steal in 10 minutes. On the other hand, Thanassis did not record a single field goal attempt, and finished with one rebound and one steal in three minutes. Social media erupted after the final bell, with fans flooding the internet with hilarious reactions to the confrontation between Bronny and Thanassis.

Bronny James gets second start for Lakers

While LeBron James is training with the South Bay Lakers’ G-League affiliate, his son Bronny James is getting his second start with the purple and gold. The former USC guard failed to capitalize on the opportunity and had another underwhelming performance. He missed his first field goal attempt early in the game and refused to take a shot afterward.

Lakers coach JJ Redick was not happy with the young guard’s efforts and did not think twice before taking him out of the game. Coming into the game later in the game, Bronny blocked another shot as his attacking woes continued.

In eight games this season, Bronny has missed 17 of 24 shots, including six misses from beyond the arc on eight attempts. He averages just 2.3 points per game.
