Bronny James’ Summer League teammates are speaking out against the special treatment he received after getting drafted.
For the past month, Bronny struggled offensively throughout Summer League but still received 25 minutes per game.
Now that Summer League is over, one anonymous Lakers player is coming forward to trash Bronny for destroying the team’s chemistry.

A player who was part of the Lakers’ Summer League team confirmed that with “almost everything centered around Bronny,” it was tough to enjoy hooping.
“I mean, he was treated as someone apart, not like all of us, and that is very annoying as we didn’t feel any chemistry in this group of players,” the player said.
The player said players on the team were frustrated because the Lakers were giving Bronny all the shine while everyone else was fighting for a roster spot.
“I ended up being very frustrated because I was never put in the best situation, or even put in some plays or game plans because they wanted Bronny to show his skills and shine,”
“If you talk to any other player that was part of the roster of the California Classic and the Summer League, most of them would tell you the same thing.
“The tensions were visible, and pretty much we were all thinking about the end of the Summer League to get out of here and focus on our next step in our careers.”
It appears that not everyone in the Lakers organization is onboard with the Bronny project, but as long as LeBron is playing for the team, they’ll continue making him happy.
