The Los Angeles Lakers’ G-League team, the South Bay Lakers, fell to the Stockton Kings on Sunday night, losing 127-122 in their latest home game.
It was a tough defeat for South Bay, especially because the team was receiving even more attention since Bronny James was playing.
Speaking of Bronny, he didn’t do very well during the game.
According to Legion Hoops, he scored four points and went 2-of-10 from the field in 26 minutes.
Following this latest disappointment, basketball fans came out to share their feelings online and most of them were negative.

“Bron lied to us,” one fan said, suggesting that LeBron’s son will never live up to the hype that has surrounded him for more than a year now.

However, many others pleaded with fans to give Bronny more time because they think he will get better.
It is too early to judge Bronny, they said, and he will improve with more practice and time on the court.
He is still a young man and his career has just started, they say, so he simply needs more time.
Give him time.Too early to judge him

Right now, Bronny is set to only play in South Bay home games, which keeps him available to suit up with the Lakers.
But some people feel the time has come to make Bronny participate in all South Bay games, at home or on the road.
He needs the practice and shouldn’t be restricted to only home games for his G-League team.
The Lakers need to drop the South Bay home game nonsense and play him in every G League game. He desperately needs the reps! 🙏

A lot of people showed support for Bronny, even though they are bummed to see him do so poorly yet again.
They want him to do well but they are losing hope.
I want the kid to do well, I really do. But this is tough

There were some bright spots in the game, including Bronny’s defensive efforts.
But the game was yet another disappointment and fans are still waiting for a big performance from the young star.
