After this personal milestone, Bronny James shared his thoughts: “It was insane,” Bronny said via Dave McMenamin of ESPN. Much more than I anticipated for sure. But it’s all love. It was insane. It was a nice moment. The chants really got me. I was straight-faced, but I felt it and it felt really good, especially coming from here. Yeah, it was a special moment for me for sure.”

When asked how long he had imagined scoring his first basket in the professional league, Bronny replied, “Pretty much since I picked the ball up. I’ve been watching [my dad] for a minute playing in the league. Just dreaming of me being in those players’ steps, not only [LeBron’s] but players he used to play against and with. So yes, it was just a dream come true for me.”
