Bronny James faces harsh criticism after preseason struggles against Suns
Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, had a tough night on the court in the Los Angeles Lakers' preseason opener against the Phoenix Suns. The highly anticipated matchup didn't feature many of the league's superstars, including LeBron himself and Luka Doncic, but all eyes were still on the younger James as he continues to try and cement his place in the NBA.Bronny James could outshine LeBron on the golf course with sharp, smooth swingUnfortunately for Bronny, the game didn't go as planned. The 20-year-old guard finished with just 1-of-12 shooting from the field, including 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. While he did manage to grab five rebounds and dish out two assists, the poor shooting night overshadowed the rest of his contributions in the Lakers' 103-81 loss.Fans sound off as Bronny struggles to find his rhythmThe reaction […]
Wort zum Spieltag – Nur einer kann den FC Bayern stoppen
Mal ehrlich: So beeindruckend die aktuelle Form des FC Bayern auch ist – für die Bundesliga ist sie vor allem eines geworden – langweilig. Nach sechs Spieltagen drohen die Münchner der Konkurrenz schon wieder zu enteilen, liegen gegenüber dem Tabellenzweiten Borussia Dortmund bereits vier Punkte vorne. 18 Punkte und 25:3 (!) Tore zeugen von einer krassen Dominanz. Dank eines Kaders voll mit Stars – und kaum echter Konkurrenz in der Liga. Auch Eintracht Frankfurt wurde jetzt mit beeindruckender Effizienz und Souveränität 3:0 geschlagen. Was für den Rekordmeister ein Beleg der eigenen Stärke ist, ist für die Bundesliga ein Problem.Mehr zum Thema<!-->[-->Spannung im Titelrennen? Dürfte es nicht geben. Überraschungen? Vermutlich eher selten. Der FC Bayern spielt in einer eigenen Liga – und das seit Jahren. Dass Klubs wie der BVB, Bayer Leverkusen oder RB Leipzig mal phasenweise mithalten, ändert wenig an […]
