Breaking news : Bronny James’ Jersey Sales Reportedly Cross 500K Units, Generate Over $50 Million Revenue For Lakers

 

 

Bronny James may not have had the greatest of starts to his NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers but that hasn’t led to a dip in his popularity. According to Marca, James has sold over 500,000 jerseys already, generating more than $50 million in revenue in the process.

“Bronny has already shattered NBA records with his rookie jersey sales. Over 500,000 jerseys have been sold at around $100 dollars, generating more than $50 million in revenue for the Lakers. This surpasses even the rookie sales figures of his father, LeBron James.”

 

For example, Bronny’s Summer League debut jersey sold for a whopping $38,400 while No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risachers’ only fetched $3,360. The former USC guard, who is on a four-year, $7.9 million deal, also draws in eyeballs in a manner that few can, as tickets for his G League debut with the South Bay Lakers sold out within minutes.

 

 

Unfortunately, Bronny struggled to put on a show for his fans for the longest time. He didn’t make a very positive impression during the Summer League or preseason and things didn’t get better once the real games began. Bronny unsurprisingly only played in garbage time in the NBA, but what was surprising was how difficult he was initially finding life in the G League.

 

Bronny averaged just 5.0 points over his first two games for the South Bay Lakers, leading to some concerns about his future in the NBA. He has now shown, though, that just like you should never write off his father, you shouldn’t completely write him off either.
