Bronny James and his Sierra Canyon basketball team were the centers of attention at a big tournament in Springfield, Ma. on Monday and it was perfectly timed as his dad, LeBron James, was able to attend since the Lakers are in Boston to face the Celtics tonight.
But there was an ugly moment in the game when a fan threw what looked like a piece of candy at Bronny before he was about to inbound the ball. The ref immediately stopped the game and called a police officer over to deal with the fan, who was reportedly ejected from the game.
Here’s a look at the incident from a few angles:
LeBron had this reaction after the game:
Bronny, who’s a freshman on the varsity team and comes off the bench, missed both shots he took in the game, which his team lost, 70-62.
After the game, Bronny’s teammate Zaire Williams told Yahoo Sports that Bronny goes through a lot from fans:
“You’d be surprised by all the stuff Bronny has to go through,” teammate Ziaire Williams told Yahoo Sports after the game. “It’s not fair, but he doesn’t let it faze him at all. I’m learning how to be more like that from him and he’s younger than me.”
Hopefully fans stop acting like this.
