Bronny James showcased his talent at the ongoing NBA Combine in Chicago, earning praise from both teams and fans.
On Monday, Bronny James received official clearance to join the draft and pursue an NBA career. His physical measurements were recorded at 6 feet 11.5 inches, with a wingspan of 6 feet 7.25 inches. However, what caught attention was his impressive max vertical leap of 40.5 inches.
During the event, he demonstrated his proficiency in 3-point shooting, securing the second position behind Alex Karaban by sinking 19 out of 25 shots.
Despite a promising start, Bronny James faced setbacks during the 5v5 scrimmage, leading to a decline in his stock. In 19 minutes of play, he managed only four points and four rebounds for Team Forehan-Kelly, resulting in an 89-81 loss to Team St. Andrews.
The internet responded with a barrage of humorous memes, showcasing the lighter side of the situation.
Here are the top 10 funniest Bronny James memes from the 2024 NBA Draft Combine:
10. Killer Mode: ON
Despite a poor showing during his freshman year with the USC Trojans, Bronny James surprised many by getting his game back in order during the combine.
9. An impressive stat line from James Jr.
Fans were not expecting Bronny to be as good as his father, but that does not mean he is a horrible player either. This Combine proved his case and showed he could play at the pro levels.
8. Undrafted
Bronny James was not included in many mock drafts for this season. The possibility of him going undrafted may be negligent, but the chances of it happening are present.
7. Two expensive coattail riders
Thanasis Antetokounmpo is the internet’s go-to meme for riding on someone’s fame and Bronn joining the list seems possible.
6. Left to the streets
The sustainability of Bronny James in the league is questionable if his chances at drafting are entirely reliant on his last name. His 39-year- old father can only play for so long.
5. Error: player not found

Bronny has failed to show up consistently during his college career and
the chances of it repeating in the NBA seem likely.
4. Roasted and toasted
While Bronny may not be the absolute best, internet warriors seem too intent on making him the bad guy.
3. Unprepared against the big stars

Bronny James’ ability to transition from college to the NBA is questionable to many, considering he was not the greatest at it. Many experts point to the possibility of him spending a few years in the G League.
2. Coming back home

LeBron James made an appearance in Game 4 of the Cleveland Cavaliers play-offs game against the Boston Celtics on Monday. This has given rise to many speculations about him returning home again, this time with Bronny.
1.A dubious draft
You know what, let’s get wild and draft Bronny James at 10. I don’t even care anymore. I want chaos. pic.twitter.com/NE9U5RzEvV

The 2024 draft class is considered one of the weakest and with the desperation that teams have with signing LeBron James, anything seems possible.
