Bronny James, the eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, is poised to attract an unprecedented level of attention as he makes his debut in the Las Vegas Summer League.
Mark Medina of Sportskeeda reports that anticipation is soaring, with expectations of a sell-out crowd nearing 18,000 fans at Thomas & Mack Center for James’ debut against the Houston Rockets.
Warren LeGarie, executive director of the Las Vegas Summer League, expressed the immense interest surrounding Bronny James’ entry into professional basketball.
“We’re on the verge of [the sellout] right now. People are always worried they can’t get in on opening weekend. Everyone wants to be here,” LeGarie remarked. “We’re very close. We’re going to have to break some hearts where we have to say, ‘You can’t be here for all the excitement.’”
Bronny James, drafted at No. 55, has generated significant curiosity and support, contrasting with skepticism and detractors.
The Las Vegas Summer League serves as a pivotal platform for James to prove himself on a larger stage, potentially shaping expectations for his future in the sport.
