A former Los Angeles Lakes star is coming to the defense of LeBron James and Bronny James and confronting the haters.

Dad knows Bronny still has plenty to learn in the NBA. “He was able to get behind the defense on one and find Jaxson (Hayes) for a dunk. That was good,” LeBron James said. “Obviously missed his shots. It’s just about him just getting more and more comfortable. It’s his first extensive minutes with us.

Here is the latest news you need to know about the Los Angeles Lakers, including an update on Anthony Davis' injury.

Stephen A. Smith is pleading with LeBron James to "stop" the nepotistic move with Bronny as he needs to improve his basketball skills.

It was a rough night overall for the Lakers, who lost Anthony Davis in the first quarter to what the team is calling an abdominal strain. Gabe Vincent, the team’s backup point guard, missed his second straight game with a left knee injury, necessitating Bronny’s addition to the rotation.

With the Lakers shorthanded, Bronny James got his first real NBA minutes since Opening Night. But in a tough matchup against the Sixers, the rookie guard struggled to find his rhythm.

Stephen A. Smith wants LeBron James to throw the damn towel on Bronny James’ NBA prospects for the time being.

LeBron James had 24 points and 11 assists before resting for the final quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 134-96 rout of the Washington Wizards.

LeBron James scored 24 points and had 11 assists in just 27 minutes and got some rest in the second half as his son Bronny got to play extended minutes for the second consecutive game. Bronny James had a rough go of it on Tuesday as he was held scoreless on five shots in 15 minutes.

If the Lakers are hoping to develop rookie Bronny James into a true NBA-caliber player, they're not going about it correctly.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick commented on Bronny James' struggles during the Lakers' 118-104 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday
