Bronny James might be receiving the most attention that any No. 55 pick in the history of the draft ever has prior to playing his first NBA game. That’s simply what happens when you’re the son of one of the greatest players in league history. However, a good deal of that coverage hasn’t always been the most favorable, including an anonymous report that there was some jealousy among James’ teammates at the Summer League in Las Vegas. Blake Hinson, an undrafted rookie out of Pittsburgh who was on the LA Summer League roster, joined the Lakers Nation podcast recently to dispute those rumors. He c...

Name, image, and likeness has officially been engrained into the fabric of collegiate sports, but across each and every sport the impact NIL has on student-athletes differs in a multitude of new ways. The top athletes in each respective sport will reap benefits similarly, but for the top basketball players specifically, NIL can play a major role in their decision to take their talents to the NBA or remain in school. Which new USC head basketball coach Eric Musselman recently discussed on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. “I think it can help the sport with certain players,” Musselman said. “A year ...

There is no doubt in Eric Musselman‘s mind that JuJu Watkins is the top star on the USC campus right now. Watkins just wrapped up her freshman season with the Trojans, helping guide them to the Elite Eight. The electrifying guard could even have a case to be the best player in women’s college basketball this season with Caitlin Clark gone to the WNBA. Watkins ranked second behind Clark this past season with 27.1 points per game on her way to earning All-American honors. She should only get better with a year under her belt, and Musselman had high praise for her game during a recent appearance ...

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 87-86 in the NBA 2K25 Summer League tournament on Wednesday night. Bronny James scored 12 points on 5 of 11 shooting to help lead the Lakers to their first victory of the summer league. The Hawks remain winless. “It was about being solid on the defensive end,” James said on-court postgame. “We tried to come out and get a good shot out every time out. Good outcome.” Coming into the game, James was 0-11 from 3-point range while averaging just five points per game. He not only more than doubled his average during the outing but also nailed the fir...

In the third quarter of Wednesday’s NBA Summer League game against the Atlanta Hawks, Lakers guard Bronny James received a technical foul. He wasn’t happy about a no-call on the offensive end of the floor and appeared to say something to the referee, which led to the whistle. James drove to the basket and had the ball knocked out of his hands. As it went out of bounds, he turned to the ref as he blew his whistle, looking for a foul. After it was ruled out of bounds on James, he turned to the referee and said something. It’s unclear what he told him, but it was apparently enough to warrant a te...

Bronny James hasn’t exactly shined in the NBA Summer League thus far. The Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard scored only 8 points on 3-for-14 shooting Friday night in a matchup against the Houston Rockets. So far during the summer league he is shooting 6-26 from the field and 0-for-12 from 3-point range, while averaging 5 points per game. After struggling on Friday, James was asked if he would be willing to spend time in the NBA G League this coming season. The former USC star and son of LeBron James said that he is open to it. “I’m just looking forward to any basketball. It doesn’t matter what l...

Every time Bronny James steps on the court, he faces pressure. During the Lakers’ matchup against the Houston Rockets at the Las Vegas Summer League on Friday, Lakers head coach JJ Redick weighed in on the lofty expectations James routinely faces. “You just have to let go of outcomes, and you have to just enjoy the process of being in the NBA, getting better,” Redick said. “We’re placing a heavy emphasis on our player development as we build this program. “He’s obviously case study No. 1. He’s going to be a big part of what we do in our player development program. We’re going to invest heavily...

Eric Musselman believes his experience working in professional basketball prepared him to navigate the transfer portal. The first-year USC coach got his start in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) in 1989 and later worked in the NBA for 11 seasons, including as a head coach for both the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings. Musselman also has worked on the international circuit with China, USA, Dominican Republic and Venezuela. He posted a 108-138 record in three seasons as an NBA coach, but learned valuable lessons about roster management at his various pro stops. Little did h...

USC added 11 transfers from the portal this offseason amidst the roster rebuild under Eric Musselman. One of the most important of that near dozen, though, could end up being Desmond Claude considering what he brings with him as a guard. Musselman discussed Claude’s role with the Trojans during an interview with Jon Rothstein on ‘College Hoops Today’. In their mind, he’s going to play at the one for them as he fits the mold of some of the taller point guards that they have had since he’s listed at 6’6. “Well, we’re going to play Desmond at a lot of point guard this season,” said Musselman. “As...

This coming season, LeBron James will do what no one has ever done in the NBA. He will play alongside his son, Bronny, after the Los Angeles Lakers selected him in the second round of last week’s NBA Draft. Throughout his career, James talked about how much it would mean to suit up alongside his oldest son. Now that it’s reality, he’s still struggling to find the words. “With my son, obviously, it’s a dream come true for me,” James told reporters at the USA Basketball showcase in Las Vegas on Saturday. “To see my son – to be able to be in the NBA alone, it’s always been a dream of his. For us ...
