LeBron James gives strong two-word verdict on son Bronny's NBA Summer League performance for the Lakers
LeBron James sent out a two-word message after his son - and teammate - Bronny put in a dominant display in his 2025 Summer League debut. Bronny took to the floor on Sunday night and scored 10 points in 11 minutes against the Miami Heat - including a stunning one-handed dunk in the first quarter. A clip of the incident went viral on social media as fans watched the second-year guard steal the ball off the Heat before transitioning into a fast break. The Lakers star drove down the court before launching himself into the air - just past the free throw line - and performing the impressive dunk. It was a moment that left some fans in awe and excited about the season ahead for Bronny - while dad LeBron clearly shared that sentiment. The NBA legend posted an Instagram story with a screenshot of the dunk along with the caption: 'Bronny showtime'. The 20-year-old heads into the new season after making 27 outings in his rookie season for the Lakers - where he averaged 2.3 points in 6.7 minutes per game. In his G League performances, however, Bronny averaged 21.9 points, 5.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds from his 11 games. The youngster, recently, offered a coy response when asked about the future of his father - who will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. Last week, LeBron officially opted into his $52.6million player option for the upcoming season but, by doing so, it raised questions about his future beyond 2025-26. When asked about LeBron's future, Bronny said: 'I said, 'I have no idea what you're talking about. 'I don´t really pay attention to that stuff. There´s a lot of stuff going around that I don´t pay attention to.' 'We don´t really talk about that much, but I think when stuff like that does come up, he just tells me to not worry about it, not even pay attention to it. 'Just lock in to what you have going on right now, and that's what's going to get me better and keep me focused. I think it's good that he tells me not to pay attention to that stuff.'

The annual festival kicked off this Friday at the Superdome in New Orleans, with the festival announcing on Wednesday that the hip-hop icon, 50, would be performing on Friday at roughly midnight. That didn't happen, though, due to a number of factors, with Hill ultimately taking to the stage at 2:31 AM local time, wrapping her up set at 3:37 AM, via It was one of the latest performances in the 31-year history of Essence Fest, with the Superdome - which has a capacity of 83,000 - nearly empty when she took the stage. Many fans took to social media to bash Hill - who is notorious for showing up hours late to her performances However, many others went online to defend Hill, since it seems this time her ultra-late performance was not her fault.

Glorilla was slated for 8:30, followed by The Isley Brothers at 9:15, Babyface at 10:10, Maxwell at 11:15 and Lauryn Hill closing out the night at 12:35 AM. That schedule never stuck, with the whole night starting late, with reports stating that Glorilla finished her set at 10 PM, 45 minutes after the next act, The Isley Brothers, were supposed to start theirs. Maxwell's set was supposed to start at 11:15 PM but didn't start until 12:55 AM, with reports adding that Maxwell's stage was cleared around 2:04 AM, though Hill didn't take the stage until 2:31 AM, wrapping up at 3:37 AM. Nola News shared video from the largely-empty Superdome with Hill on stage, while others like TikTok user MorganD.2 3 shared a video from her seat in the stadium as well. Hill has developed a reputation for going on stage much later than she was originally scheduled to, which many fans mentioned on social media. De Lewis (@shotbyde) said, 'Lauryn Hill is a scam artist and I don't know why yall keep supporting her.' Brit Williams (@DrBritWilliams) quote-retweeted another tweet that said her set ended at 3:37 AM, adding, 'Stop. Booking. Her.'

However, others defended Hill, including Eric Lamont (@EricUnedited), who quote-retweeted Brit's tweet, clarifying what happened. 'Or, let's post what actually happened. It's very easy to get Lauryn Hill trending with false narratives. Let's provide the facts. The entire festival was pushed back. This was literally not her fault. Me on the other hand, I would have gone home. Contract or not. Bye,' Lamont tweeted. Another fan dubbed @tallyohhh added, 'I feel so bad for everybody making fun of Lauryn Hill performing late at Essence Festival, because it wasn't even her fault. I read that the performance schedule was off by like an hour or two and pushed everything back. I'm impressed that she still performed that late! I've seen her live before, I'm sure it was a dope show.' Others like Tony Cardasco (@TonyDasco) mentioned Hill was, 'a couple of hours late in LA and late at Brooklyn Bowl.' Still, some like Joe Arrigo (@JoeArrigo_) defended Hill, stating, 'this is a bit misleading because the essence festival was actually running behind schedule, which played a role in her coming on late, this one wasn't on her all the way. I have some friends that are/were there, so it's not 100% on Lauryn Hill (this time).' Some poked fun at the situation like @YoungQDogg, who joked, 'At this point Lauryn Hill just shows up whenever she wants doesn't she.' Jerry Boese (@JerryBoese) added, 'Lauryn Hill late ? That's never happened lol.' Popular Loner (@AlyxzandreaZnay) added, 'Wtf do Lauryn Hill be doing to be soo dam late to her shows? Im genuinely curious.'

Hill first broke through as a member of The Fugees in the mid-1990s alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras. Her 1998 solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is widely considered one of the best of all time, selling over 20 million copies worldwide.
