As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to face the Milwaukee Bucks in a highly anticipated preseason matchup, Bronny James has made headlines with a bold statement that is sure to fuel the competitive fire. Ahead of the game, Bronny confidently claimed, “They are just a mid-tier team,” referring to the Bucks, who are considered strong contenders in the NBA with star player Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the charge.
This statement comes after Bronny’s recent professional debut, where he played alongside his father, LeBron James, in a preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. While his minutes on the court were limited, Bronny’s confidence is clearly on full display as the Lakers look to secure their first preseason win.
