Last month LeBron James' son Bronny was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers [click here if you missed that].
Now insiders are claiming all the attention Bronny is receiving is rubbing his teammates the wrong way...
BRONNY James' debut in the NBA Summer League caused tension among Los Angeles Lakers teammates and left some of them frustrated, The U.S. Sun has learned.
Bronny, 19, made history last month, following his dad LeBron, 39, to the City of Angels after being selected at No. 55 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Bronny reportedly signed a four-year, $7.9 million deal with Los Angeles, becoming half of the NBA's first-ever active father-son duo — just like his father dreamed about.
But the amazing family achievement for the Jameses hasn't gone down universally well within the Lakers so far, sources told The U.S. Sun.
Inevitably, the 6-foot-2 guard's Summer League debut in early July generated a tremendous amount of buzz — so much so it might have gotten out of control.
The attention he attracted was "very frustrating" for the players to see, and his alleged star treatment caused friction among the team, which went 0-5 to start the tournament, per a Lakers insider.
"That kind of tension didn’t help the group of players to build chemistry," said the source, who noted they have "nothing against" Bronny.
"And you could feel that there was no unity [between] this group of guys as Bronny was the main guy and the others didn’t feel that it was right, that he deserved that."
The U.S. Sun has reached out to the Lakers and Bronny's agent for comment.

Of course this creates friction. That's what Nepo Chirren do. They knew that going into the deal. Another fLaker.
No talent and a pink bottom lip.
They should be glad they don’t have to deal with the extra scrutiny. Media attention can be a curse. As long as their money and playing time isn’t being affected they should just work on their skills.
He's actually not a good player at all lol
Bronny? Sounds like what you call a 3 year old. Grow up.
Crabs in th barrel. Just pay no mind and play ball. It will all die down once the games starts or BJ can't keep up and gets benched.
