ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The final buzzer sounded Saturday, the South Bay Lakers had won a game and Bronny James seemed completely at ease.

Big smile. Handshakes with everyone. Even did a little dance step as he got to the bench.

LeBron James' oldest son made his peace long ago with the realization that he's going to be judged differently because of who his father is. Bronny James insists that doesn't bother him, saying Saturday at the G League Winter Showcase that he looks at the game differently — and still with some challenges — after suffering cardiac arrest on July 24, 2023.

“I’ve become resilient over these past couple of years fighting through injuries, mental illness, stuff like that," James said. "Just, you know, coming in and working every day and staying the course.”
