@UnbiasedHoopsLA: "HE’S THE REAL DEAL I’VE BEEN SAYING IT!
Lakers need to call him up"

@BronnyMuse06: "BRONNY HAS 30"
@micahdevore: "We get a lottery pick at 55?"
@wilkomcv: "30 piece for Bronny James in his first G League road game. I remain as high on Bronny as I have been throughout his basketball trajectory. I'm convinced that his NBA potential is real."
@klaylese: "super proud of bronny tonight"
@AceBeenDat: "He finally going back to his regular self"
@jordanwoods960: "If Bronny was like 2 inches taller he could be on the back end of someone’s rotation right now. Like building with a bad team."
@georgemikan: "Bronny James tonight:
30 PTS (13 in 4Q)
13-23 FG, 63% TS
3 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK
Steal of the draft at pick #55?"
