Major congratulations are in order for Bronny James, who is the biggest winner so far during NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
Let the apologies be as loud as the disrespect because Bronny, who was drafted No. 55 overall by the Los Angeles Lakers, just earned your respect. While many doubters called this draft pick one made entirely by nepotism, those same people look mighty foolish after his latest victory.
While father LeBron prepared for Olympic gold with Team USA, Bronny was carving his own path with his own impressive accomplishments. The rookie guard was crowned winner of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare III tournament at Encore Las Vegas, per The Sporting Tribune.

This is no small achievement from the former USC guard, who became the first rookie from this class to call himself a champion in the NBA.
James was given a “custom made Call of Duty Warzone championship belt” for his remarkable efforts, which is something that no other player from this rookie class can claim. Take a look at this hardware:

He was able to take down Grant Williams to win this belt. Williams, who is a former first-round pick, already has quite a few more years of professional NBA experience than James. He is also a few inches taller than the 6-foot-1 rookie, which feels significant.
Bronny and LeBron now (probably) have the most Call of Duty Warzone championship belts of any father-son duo in NBA history.
