• Charles Barkley criticized the Lakers' decision to have Bronny play G League home games while joining the NBA team for road trips, calling it 'stupid' and detrimental to his growth.
• Barkley argued that Bronny, who has seen limited playing time in the NBA, would benefit more from consistent minutes in the G League to develop his skills.
• The Lakers' approach has raised questions about nepotism and the fairness of their strategy to both Bronny and the team as a whole.
• LeBron James has defended the arrangement, emphasizing the personal significance of sharing the court with his son, despite the criticism.
