JJ Redick reveals why Bronny James hasn’t quite taken off in the NBA: It’s OK to fail

Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick has claimed that Bronny James‘ ability to embrace failure could be a crucial aspect of his growth.

The son of NBA superstar LeBron James, Bronny has faced immense scrutiny from a young age and Redick believes overcoming the fear of failure is essential to his development.

“He’s very coachable,” Redick said during a media session ahead of the Lakers‘ matchup with the Sacramento Kings. “I’ve told him this – he’s got to get to the point where it’s OK to fail. I think he has a real reservation to fail. A lot of that is because he’s had a camera on him since he was eight years old.”

The relentless spotlight on Bronny, amplified by his father’s legacy, has created unique pressures. Despite his modest NBA statistics-0.6 points per game on 12.5 percent shooting across seven appearances-Bronny has shown flashes of potential in the G League.

Signs of progress in the G League

Bronny‘s recent G League performances have been promising, with the young guard averaging 20.7 points over his last three games, including a standout 30-point outing on December 12. Redick pointed to these moments as evidence of Bronny‘s growth as both a scorer and playmaker.
