Just hours after dropping a career-high 30 points, Bronny James was at it again for the South Bay Lakers on Friday night.
The NBA G League shared a video on X of an impressive possession from James on Friday night.
In the video, James travels down the court with authority and shoots the ball as he falls backward, receiving two points and the foul as well.
This was more evidence of James finding his rhythm in the G League.
HOW BRONNY⁉️⁉️⁉️
The @SouthBayLakers rookie gets the off-balanced bucket to drop + the foul.

Bronny wasn’t able to live up to his Thursday night performance but he still posted 16 points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one turnover, shooting 6-of-20 from the floor, including 2-of-6 from the three-point line.
That may not have been as great as the night before, but it’s still a very special showing from the young star.
This was also his third consecutive game with 15+ points, another promising sign.
The South Bay Lakers ended up losing again 102-91, but James’ work is getting attention from fans across the G League and the NBA.
After a few notable games, people are wondering if he will be back with his father and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers soon.
With the current state of the Lakers, that doesn’t seem too far-fetched.
Still, it’s more likely that James will continue to work on his skills in the G League.
But if he keeps putting up performances like this, there is a good chance that head coach JJ Redick will call him up more often.
Bronny looks comfortable and powerful in the G League, but will this translate well to the NBA?
