"Oh, well, like father like son": Skip Bayless ruthlessly trolls Bronny James and LeBron James after Lakers guard's dismal shooting

Skip Bayless didn’t hold back after Bronny James struggled through a rough shooting performance in the LA Lakers’ 87-85 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. In his third Summer League appearance of the year, Bronny faced off against No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg in a highly anticipated matchup that drew plenty of attention.

While Bronny delivered a few highlight moments on both ends of the court, it was his continued shooting struggles that stood out. Veteran analyst Skip Bayless took the opportunity to criticize the young guard for bricking the game-winning 3-point attempt, even drawing a comparison to his father, LeBron James.

"Oh, well, like father like son," Bayless tweeted.

Oh, well, like father like son.

Bronny James took eight shots, with six coming from beyond the arc. He started strong, confidently drilling his first 3-pointer over Cooper Flagg in the opening minutes. However, he went cold from there, missing his next five attempts from long range.

In the previous game against the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron James' son went 0-for-2 from three, and against the Miami Heat, he connected on just two of five attempts. So far in the Summer League, Bronny is shooting 3-for-13 from deep.

Skip Bayless praised Bronny James for creating 3-point shots

Before taking shots at Bronny James and LeBron James, Skip Bayless offered some praise for the former USC guard. The veteran analyst acknowledged Bronny's confidence in creating and attempting 3-pointers, even though most didn’t fall. Bayless also posted a few tweets highlighting Bronny’s two early buckets over Cooper Flagg to start the game.

Love Bronny creating and shooting that 3, even though it missed.

While it wasn’t the shooting performance Bronny had hoped for, he’ll have a chance to bounce back in the Lakers’ next Summer League matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
