LaVar Ball predicted the criticism that Lakers rookie Bronny James would receive.

LaVar Ball 曾預測，湖人新秀 Bronny James 會遭受不少批評。

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James got off to a slow start to his pro career.

洛杉磯湖人新秀 Bronny James 的職業生涯開局較為緩慢。

That said, he has been playing much better as of late in the G League.

不過，最近他在 G 聯盟的表現有了顯著提升。

At the beginning of the season, Bronny got a lot of criticism when he was givenbrief playing time in the NBA.

在賽季初，Bronny 因為僅獲得短暫的上場時間而遭到了大量批評。

Back in 2017, LaVar Ball predicted that he would be highly scrutinized for being LeBron's son (h/t BlacktopBuckets).

早在 2017 年，LaVar Ball 就曾預測，Bronny 會因為是 LeBron 的兒子而受到過度關注和質疑（來源：BlacktopBuckets）。

Ball (via FOX Sports in 2017):"The monsters in the NBA, their dad's wasn't thatgood... You got LeBron; it's gonna be very hard for his kids because they'
re not gonna look at him as LeBron's kids. They're gonna be like, you better be just like your dad...After a while, that pressure starts sitting on you... It's like, wow, why I gotta be like him? Why can't I just be me? And then they be like, oh, you soft, you're not that good, because the expectation is very,
very high."

Ball（在 2017 年接受 FOX Sports 訪問時表示）：「NBA 裡的那些怪物，他們的爸爸當年並不怎麼樣... 可是你有 LeBron 這樣的爸爸，對他的孩子來說會很難，因為大家不會只是看他是 LeBron 的兒子。他們會說，你最好像你爸爸那樣... 過一段時間，那股壓力就會讓你喘不過氣來... 就會想，為什麼我一定要像他？為什麼不能做我自己？然後大家就會說，哦，你太軟，沒那麼厲害，因為大家的期待實在太高了。」

Bronny is averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 36.6% from the field and 21.2% from the three-point range in seven games with the South Bay Lakers (G League).

目前，Bronny 在南灣湖人（G 聯盟）七場比賽中，場均得到 13.4 分、3.4 籃板、3.9 助攻和 1.1 抄截，投籃命中率為 36.6%，三分球命中率為 21.2%。

He has also appeared in nine NBA games.

他也在 NBA 參加過九場比賽。

That said, the 20-year-old has played just 22 total NBA minutes.

然而，這位 20 歲的球員在 NBA 的上場時間總計只有 22 分鐘。

While Bronny still has a lot of time to develop into an NBA-caliber guard, it'sfair to point out that LaVar was correct about the early criticism he would get.

儘管 Bronny 還有充足的時間發展成為 NBA 水準的後衛，但不可否認的是，LaVar 當初預測他將會遭遇到的批評，確實是準確的。

LaVar is the father of Lonzo Ball (Chicago Bulls) and LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets).

LaVar 是 Lonzo Ball（芝加哥公牛）和 LaMelo Ball（夏洛特黃蜂）的父親。

Both were top-three NBA draft picks.

兩人都是 NBA 選秀的前三順位選手。
