"King James would probably sign a vet minimum" - Fans troll Bronny James for back-to-back scoreless games for USC

Bronny James' level of play with the USC Trojans has not been ideal to start his collegiate career. Granted, he can still increase his production as the season progresses, but his recent outing got many reactions online and from the media. During his first start for USC, he had an abysmal outing, going scoreless on the court.

According to New York Post's Ted Holmlund, usual starters Joshua Morgan, Boogie Ellis and Isaiah Collier were unavailable due to injuries. James got the start and logged 25 minutes, a season-high for him.

This was also his second-straight scoreless outing for the USC Trojans. Following his performance on Saturday, NBA fans mocked the young USC guard on X.

The pressure on Bronny is immense, given LeBron James' reputation and basketball legacy. But given his performances so far, LeBron's comments about Bronny being ready to suit up for the LA Lakers were not well-received.

Bronny James is currently averaging 5.2 points (34.8% shooting, 23.1% from 3-point range) and 2.2 rebounds per game.
