Jaylen Brown had courtside tickets for the Summer League game between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas, where all eyes were once again on LeBron James‘ son Bronny as he prepares for his first NBA season.

Sitting next to his girlfriend, WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP seemed to give a harsh review on the 19-year-old guard at some point in the game.

I don’t think Bronny [James] is a pro,” Brown appeared to tell Gondrezick, who seemed to reply: “I think he’ll be on the G-league team for sure.” And according to the online lip readers, Brown insisted: I don’t think so, I think because of his name he’ll be on the Lakers.”
