"Only person buying it is Adin Ross" - Bronny James’ $7,000 jersey sparks jokes from NBA fans

Before he stepped on an NBA court, Bronny James was already well-known by the NBA community. With fame following the young guard, Sotheby's revealed his Summer League debut jersey is up for auction. The item is priced at $7k, which garnered numerous reactions from sports fans.

In this year's draft, the Lakers selected LeBron's eldest son 55th overall. However, Bronny's offensive struggles were displayed during his NBA Summer League debut. Given his mediocre college stats, many claim nepotism is the only reason Los Angeles drafted the younger James.

Following user Legion Hoops' X post concerning the auction bid, fans sounded off in the comments section.

"Only person buying it is Adin Ross."

X users KD's Burner (@KD_SZN7) and pharmAziz (@pharmaziz) weren't pleased about the price tag on Bronny James' Summer League jersey. Meanwhile, users E-Man (@WigginsWick22) and tkdance12.eth (@tkdance12) criticized James' lacking professional debut.

"I'm not even taking that sh*t for free," the fan posted.

"Good grief. People have lost their minds," the fan posted.

"7K for a jersey of a 15th man," the fan posted.

"The same jersey he wore while sucking — maybe he should wait, could be worth more in a few years. Unless he's thinking he ain't going to make it," the fan posted.

During his Summer League debut, Bronny James tallied four points (2-of-9 shooting), two rebounds, two assists and one steal. The Lakers lost that contest 94-108 against the Sacramento Kings.

LeBron James receives hilarious joke from Lakers teammate regarding Bronny James

During a live segment of HBO's The Shop: Uninterrupted on Aug. 29, LeBron James revealed he received a hilarious phone call from teammate Anthony Davis about his son.

"AD Facetimed me like, 'I don't want to talk to you. I want to talk to my old teammate."

Excitement surrounds Bronny James and his father competing together. The pair can make NBA history by becoming the first father-and-son tandem to play on the same roster.

Aside from that anticipation, the rookie's name is associated with added pressure. His father is arguably the greatest basketball of all time. LBJ also made an instant impact as an 18-year-old Cavs phenom.
