The elder James and Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry have developed a friendship over the years, and it allowed Curry to get a look at the younger James when the latter was a toddler. Curry recently remarked that he saw something special in the younger James even back then (h/t Lakers Daily ).

Though the Lakers lost to the Clippers on July 14, James was one of the few bright spots as he logged a complete game: 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and three 3-pointers. Additionally, he notably averaged 16.3 ppg, 4.3 apg and 2.6 rpg over a three-game stretch, able to get teammates involved and spark runs throughout.

Bronny James of the Los Angeles Lakers showcased impressive performance in the 2k25 Summer League, surpassing Stephen Curry's rookie year statistics.
