When the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Dallas Mavericks during NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas, fans all wanted to see the same thing.

Bronny wasn’t the only member of the James family to have an unflattering basketball card produced recently. Many collectors have pointed out that his father’s 2024-25 Panini Prizm card showcases his hair loss rather than showing his face ( a more flattering version of LeBron doing his signature chalk toss appeared in the 2008-09 Topps set).
