  + stars: | 2024-11-25 | by ( Ben Church | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —NBA legend Charles Barkley has criticized the Los Angeles Lakers over their handling of Bronny James this season. However, the rookie guard has since played a very limited role in the NBA and was assigned to the team’s G League South Bay Lakers squad earlier this month. He should be in the G League, so he can play basketball. I don’t think they are doing Bronny any favors.”CNN has reached out to the Lakers and LeBron James for comment. Bronny has so far enjoyed a slow start in the G League, totaling 10 points, five rebounds and six assists in 57 minutes of action across two games.

One of the most iconic catches in NFL history — a play that would change Odell Beckham Jr.’s life — started with a misunderstanding and a poor route. Odell Beckham Jr. catches a one-handed touchdown and it is arguably one of the most iconic catches in NFL history. The two would spend hours outside their college dorm, throwing footballs to each other and practicing one-handed catches. When it did, Beckham told his teammate that the catch “changed his life.”Zay Flowers' locker is right next to Odell Beckham Jr.'s in the Ravens locker room.

Welcome to the NBA, Bronny James. With the age-defying act of LeBron James now reaching a 22nd season, tying the league record for longest career with Vince Carter, James has played for so long that in June the Lakers drafted his oldest son, Bronny, 20. Though Lakers coach J.J. Redick told reporters Monday that a plan to play LeBron and Bronny together had not been finalized and Bronny James said he did not know whether he would actually play against Minnesota, there is clearly an expectation of history surrounding the season opener. “So, that’s what’s going to be cool about it.”“Only two families to do it,” Bronny James told reporters Monday when he was asked about the Griffeys. “I feel like my confidence, I feel like that’s the biggest thing for me right now,” he told reporters after the preseason finale in San Francisco.
