On August 17, Beijing time, James' eldest son Bronny's 2K25 score was exposed, and the value was 68 points. When the U.S. media forwarded this data, they asked fans if they thought it was high, low, or just right? It is worth mentioning that Bronny has been interviewed before, boasting that he deserves a rating of 80 or even 81 points, while his father James has a 2K rating of 78 points in his rookie year.

Bronny's 68 points are really not low, after all, many second-round picks this year are also 68 points, such as No. 36 Show Nunes, No. 38 Show Mitchell and No. 39 Show Jalen Wells have the same 2K25 rating of 68 points, and No. 23 Show Johnson, No. 25 Show Dadtier and No. 26 Show Dillon Jones are 69 points in the first round.

The two highest-rated rookies are No. 1 picks Risa Shecy and Jackie Sarr at 75, Rockets Shepard at 73, and Spurs' Castle and Trail Blazers' Klingen at 73.

In a previous interview with 2K, Bronny had said, "I think I deserve a respectable 80 or 81," but the reality is that he's just a No. 55 pick, and his performance in the summer league has been up and down, compared to his father's top pick.

James averaged over 30 points per game in 13 rookie games, while Bronny averaged just around 5 points per game in Summer League, and while he still has time to improve his game, the gap between him and his father is there. Lakers summer league coach Dane Johnson also made it clear that Bronny is confident, but he still needs a lot of time to train and improve, after all, his NBA journey has just begun, and his path is very different from his father's.

One of the highlights of the Lakers' new season is that James and Bronny's father and son are on the same stage. Of course, considering that Bronny is expected to spend a lot of time in the development league this season, it is also a big suspense when father and son will actually come to fruition. Will Redick have Bronny and James on the same stage at the Lakers' opener? Let's wait and see.
