It seems like someone finally stepped up to give all the ridiculers a timely reminder about young hoopers in the NBA. Well, it’s not that it’s a completely new information. Rather, just that aspect that nearly everyone has conveniently forgotten in favor of negative criticism and the like. And one such young basketball player who has been getting the short end of the stick is none other than the son of LeBron James, Bronny James.
Of course, the 19-year-old is quite used to it by now. He’s been hearing and facing them since his birth. However, it would be foolish to think that all these comments wouldn’t take a toll on the recipient. It was under such circumstances that the Dallas Mavericks assistant coach, Jared Dudley, arrived with an eye-opening message.

The former 2020 NBA champion said, “There will be some 25-point scorers here at Summer League that will not play in the NBA next year. There will be some guys who average 5 or 6 who will be. Take the stats out.”
