On Friday evening, the South Bay Lakers played the Valley Suns for the second straight (G League) game.

During the game, Bronny James made an incredible shot that got a lot of views on social media.

Via NBA G League: "HOW BRONNY⁉️⁉️⁉️

The @SouthBayLakers rookie gets the off-balanced bucket to drop + the foul."

Bronny finished the 102-91 loss with 16 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal while shooting 6/20 from the field and 2/6 from the three-point range.

Many fans reacted to the circus shot.

@BronnyMuse06: "BRONNY CIRCUS AND ONE 🤯🤯🤯 "

@Christo54980882: "Bro when Bronny is aggressive that dude is a certified bucket💯🔥 "

@KameronKKJ: "The confidence is BUILDING!!!!"

@cool___breeze: "He’s breaking outtttt"

Bronny had a slow start to his pro career.

That said, the former USC guard has looked better over the previous three games.

Via @BronMuse: "Bronny James last 3 G-League games:

20.6 PPG 3.0 RPG 2.0 APG 24.3 MPG

After everything he's been through, just so happy to see him hooping 🥹👑"

At just 20, Bronny still has a lot of time develop into a player who can make an NBA rotation.

He has gotten more attention than any other second-round pick in league history.

In addition to his time with South Bay, Bronny has also appeared in seven NBA games (with limited playing time).

They are just 3-7 over their last ten.
