Charles Barkley Criticizes Lakers' Strategy for Bronny James' Development

The NBA legend calls the team's approach to the rookie's G League and NBA assignments 'awful' and questions LeBron James' role in the decision-making.

Bronny James, drafted in the second round by the Lakers, has been splitting time between the NBA and the G League this season.
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.
