Bronny James, who did not play in the game, went viral for his back-and-forth with a Pistons fan in the stands.
The Pistons fan appeared to be taunting Bronny James. However, the son of the legendary NBA star fired back. Bronny James was reportedly heard taunting the fan about their weight and how much money they make.
“Can you run a mile? How much money you make a year?” Bronny James was reportedly heard telling the fan.

NBA fans took issue with the comments
NBA fans felt that the comments were classless.
“Flexing money when his dad is the whole reason he’s still in the league,” one fan wrote on X.
“Nepo baby throwing insults at someone about money…,” another fan wrote on X.
“Bronny and the Pistons fan combined for 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, and 0 cardio tonight,” one fan added.
“When your go to is money to flex you are worthless,” another fan wrote on X.
It’s been a tough season for Bronny James
Bronny James, who is in his third year in the league, is averaging just 0.8 points, 0.0 rebounds and 0.0 assists per game this season.
The former USC Trojans guard has played in five games, averaging 2.4 minutes per contest. He’s been back and forth between the NBA and the G-League.
Clearly, the Detroit Pistons fan got under his skin on Sunday evening, as it’s somewhat rare to see a player firing back at a fan like that.
