Arenas cited the play of two former Hall of Fame pass-first point guards as the kind of deferential performers after whom Bronny James needs to model his game. Though he isn't projected to have those league superstars' upside, Bronny James can still ape their ethos — or so Arenas thinks.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst feels the Lakers' plan for Bronny James to move between the G League and the NBA is "detrimental" for James.

Before the game started though, there was a viral moment created not by LeBron James, but by his son Bronny. Before the Lakers faced off against the Grizzlies, Bronny was seen signing autographs to some young fans in the crowd.
