Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown doesn’t appear to be sold on Bronny James as an NBA player.
On Monday night, Bronny and the Lakers faced off against the Celtics in a Summer League game in Vegas.
During the game, Bronny continued to struggle on offense and even shot an air ball from the 3-point line, where he’s gone 0-15 during Summer League play.

Brown, who was sitting courtside with Angel Reese and Kysre Gondrezick, appeared to say, “I don’t think Bronny is a pro” while being filmed by NBATV’s sideline cameras.

Bronny believes he’s currently in a shooting slump, and we still haven’t seen the best of his offensive play during Summer League.

Through three summer league games, including two in the California Classic, James is shooting 6-for-26 overall (23.1%) and 0-for-12 from 3.
“I just feel like I’m in a little slump right now,” James said.
Update: Brown released a statement on social media after his Bronny comment was made public.
