SUMMARY
- LeBron James had his eyes fixed on Bronny James' game during a locker room interview.
- Bronny scored 11 points in USC's loss to Arizona.
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have now defeated two of the top five teams in the Western Conference consecutively. Things are slowly starting to fall into place for this team as they slowly enter the halfway mark of the regular season. LA finally had a great game against the Dallas Mavericks after going 2-0 in their previous meetings. Overall, things look positive and James also seems to have calmed down from all the frustrations.
Following the game, reporters tried to get the 4x MVP’s attention to answer a couple of questions. While they were in the locker room, it seemed like James’ attention was on his son. USC star, Bronny James was playing against the Arizona Wildcats. LeBron remained unfazed by the cameras and microphones as he kept cheering on the USC Trojans and his son.
Let him go watch his son in peace😂

Fans reacted to this clip saying, “Let him go watch his son in peace.” Another fan commented, “Bro leave that man alone and let him watch his son… man was focused as hell.” Unfortunately, the Trojans came up short against the Wildcats resulting in their third consecutive loss.
However, LeBron James was probably proud of Bronny for trying his best. The 19-year-old finished the game with 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists. Bronny has been slowly improving while showing his versatility on the court as well. The Trojans have a record of 8-10 and rank 11th in the PAC-12 conference.
LeBron James took a moment to share his thoughts on Anthony Davis’ form
Putting aside all things USC, one reporter was able to get an answer out of LeBron James when he was asked about Anthony Davis’ form over the last few games. Davis was the star of the night after he finished with 28 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists while shooting 12-17 from the field. While he has been averaging a consistent double-double, AD had a few near-triple-double nights recently.
Based on Davis’ performance, James said, “He’s learning from me, how to pass out of the post,” while cheekily grinning at the reporters. “Teams are going to stop doubling him soon. As long as we make shots out there for him, teams will stop doubling him. It’s our job to make sure we’re in the right position at the right time when he gets doubled,” he concluded.

While sharing his opinion on Davis’ current form, LeBron James was still pretty distracted by the USC game. He kept yelling “Shoot it!”, whilst answering the media reporters. However, the Lakers ought to stick to whatever they have planned. James gave a great take on what has to be done on the floor. He is partially responsible for those plays to come to fruition.
