Bronny James Scores First NBA Points In Front Of Cavs Fans, Hometown Goes Nuts
Bronny James now has a spot on the NBA’s all-time scoring list — the Lakers rookie drained his first regular season bucket on Wednesday … and fittingly enough, it was in his hometown!!
The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Los Angeles Lakers in a 134-110 blowout win at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse … and in the closing minutes of the contest, the crowd chanted, “We want Bronny.”
Lakers head coach JJ Redick gave the fans what they wanted … subbing Bronny in with about five minutes left.
The spectators erupted when Bronny took the court … but it got even louder with just over two minutes left, when the 20-year-old nailed a 14-foot jumper — securing the first points of his career.

Of course, Bronny was born and raised in northeast Ohio … as LeBron and Savannah welcomed him in his second season with the Cavs back in 2004.
Bronny finished his garbage time performance with two points, two assists and a steal … and after the final buzzer, he said the whole experience was “insane.”
“Much more than I anticipated for sure,” Bronny admitted. “But it’s all love. It was insane. It was a nice moment. The chants really got me. I was straight-faced, but I felt it and it felt really good, especially coming from here.”
“Yeah, it was a special moment for me for sure.”
