The Lakers faced off against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, but the biggest talking point wasn’t the game itself—it was Bronny James’ big shot and his father’s unexpected reaction.
Los Angeles claimed a commanding 125-109 victory, with Austin Reaves leading the way with 30 points and Luka Doncic nearly notching another triple-double. But as the final minutes ticked away, the spotlight shifted to a much smaller—yet equally captivating—moment.
LeBron’s Reaction Overshadows Bronny’s Big Moment
With a little over a minute left, Bronny James stood open at the three-point line. Jordan Goodwin passed him the ball, and he nailed the shot.
The crowd at Crypto.com Arena went wild, and his teammates cheered. It should have been Bronny’s moment, but social media focused on his dad’s reaction instead.
As soon as Bronny’s shot went in, the cameras cut to LeBron James, seated courtside, expecting an energetic dad reaction.
Instead, there was nothing—no smile, no nod, no excitement. Just LeBron, stone-faced, watching like it was just another play.
Social Media Reacts: Confused, Amused, or Unbothered?
Within minutes, the clip of LeBron’s blank stare was everywhere. Was he underwhelmed? Deep in thought? Just too cool to celebrate?
Some joked that he barely reacted because Bronny’s three-pointer was just business as usual. Others argued that his silence showed complete faith—he wasn’t surprised at all.”
There’s a chance LeBron’s reaction was completely intentional. Maybe he didn’t want to overhype a single shot in a game that was already decided. Or perhaps, after decades of witnessing greatness—including his own—a routine three-pointer, even from his son, just wasn’t something to celebrate.
Regardless of the reason, it became another viral chapter in Bronny James’ already fascinating rookie season
