BREAKING: Shocking Bronny James and Michael Jordan Update Stuns Fans

The Los Angeles Lakers cruised to a 140-109 blowout win over the shorthanded Houston Rockets on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena, locking up the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference with just one regular season game left.It’s the franchise’s first 50-win campaign since their 2020 championship season — and one that secured home court advantage for at least one playoff series.

Luka Doncic led the charge once again, finishing with a dominant 39-point outing to go with eight rebounds and seven assists.

With the outcome long decided midway through the fourth, Lakers head coach JJ Redick emptied the bench — opening the door for rookie guard Bronny James to log late minutes

While he finished with just three points on 1-for-4 shooting, James delivered one of the game’s most noteworthy moments.

With under two minutes remaining, the rookie guard drilled a 3-point shot after a shifty spin move, drawing cheers from the LA crowd

It was his ninth made triple of the season — tying none other than Michael Jordan’s rookie-year total in 1984-85.

This unexpected news of James tying Jordan on a statistical list has been turning heads on social media.

“Mind you, Jordan was a 25 year old 5 year college player by the time he got in the league and this 19 year old measures up to him,” a fan wrote.

“he is the future jordan then,” said another.

“And Bronny has a game left, so he may actually top MJ,” another pointed out.

“this the craziest stat I’ve ever seen in my life,” another wrote.

With the Lakers locked into their seed, and the postseason looming, James may see an uptick in minutes during the regular season finale against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
