Washington Wizards fans piled on the sarcasm during Bronny James‘ minutes on Thursday … mocking the Lakers rookie with “MVP” chants after scoring a tough bucket.
The scene went down late in the Lakers’ 134-96 win over the Wizards Thursday night in the nation’s capital … with less than 10 seconds left in the contest.

After being sent to the free throw line for an and-one attempt, the Capital One Arena spectators hit LeBron‘s kid with tongue-in-cheek praise, which even drew chuckles from the announcers.
It was Bronny’s best NBA outing since he was drafted back in June … he dropped five points, two assists, two rebounds and a steal in his 12 minutes of action.
The game was a nice bounce back for Bronny … as he struggled a bit Tuesday night in Philadelphia. The 20-year-old went 0-5 from the field with three rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes of action.
The Lakers — who currently sit fifth in the Western Conference — will now travel to New York to take on the Knicks … which marks the first time the father-son duo will visit Madison Square Garden as teammates.
Whether the New York faithful will be as receptive to Bronny remains to be seen … but at least he knows he’s got some support in D.C., albeit rather unserious.
