Arenas cited the play of two former Hall of Fame pass-first point guards as the kind of deferential performers after whom Bronny James needs to model his game. Though he isn't projected to have those league superstars' upside, Bronny James can still ape their ethos — or so Arenas thinks.

On Friday night, the Lakers defeated the Toronto Raptors 131-125. Bronny saw the court, but not for long. Bronny subbed in for Anthony Davis with eight seconds left in the game, and all he had was a little jog since the Lakers didn't even have possession of the ball for the final play.
