Former USC Trojan Bronny James, son of LeBron James, has entered his name in the 2024 NBA Draft. He took part in this week’s draft combine and saw his ratings rise whit his stellar measurements, shooting display, and scrimmage performance.

In his lone season for Southern California, Bronny had a sub-par year. He averaged 4.8 points per game on 36.6% shooting and 26.7% from three, 2.8 rebounds per game, and 2.1 assists per game. The Trojans finished with a 15-18 record, good for ninth in the PAC-12.

On Friday, Bronny sat down with Bleacher Report and discussed if his brother Bryce has ever beaten him in a one-on-one. He was then asked what his NBA 2K rating should be and his answer led to him being roasted by fans.

“I feel like I deserve a respectable 80, 81. Yeah,” Bronny answered.

Bleacher Report posted a video of his answer to social media.

“Bronny reveals what he thinks his 2K rating should be”

One fan said, “81 is 1st overall in a good class, sorry Bronny but your looking at low 70s max”

“Close subtract 20 and I think he’s right!”

“81 overall, buddy better take away 15 from that”

“This is why people hate Bronny … not because he has an amazing personality but because of his last name he is pushed in interviews every 5 mins”

“more like a 71-72 ovr bronny if even that”

NBA 2K is the popular NBA based video game. An 80-81 overall player rating is very uncommon for a rookie. The highest rated rookie in NBA 2K history was Victory Wembanyama with and 84 rating.
