Bronny James is making his presence felt every time he steps on the floor for the South Bay Lakers. He is slowly earning his stripes as his recent 28-point outing against the Valley Suns got him G-League GOAT shoutouts on the internet.

Coming off a blowout win on Wednesday, the South Bay Lakers dominated the game all the way through. By halftime, they were up 57-46. In the third quarter, the Lakers outscored the Suns 44-25 and took a winning lead.

Bronny shined the brightest in that victory. He dropped 28 points, six rebounds, two assists, and a steal. He shot 12 of 23 from the field and three of nine from the distance. Bronny’s performance included a highlight slam in the fourth quarter. However, he fell awkwardly on the floor after the dunk, hitting his shoulder and head on landing.

That gave fans inside the arena a minor scare as everyone wondered if the 20-year-old was okay. Fortunately, the guard got up and finished the game. When clips from the game were posted on X, fans started giving Bronny GOAT shoutouts.
