Bronny James
Roasts Fan Over Paycheck, Cardio
Lakers Staff Holds Him Back
Published
Bronny James didn’t get off the bench in Detroit Sunday night … but he was still part of the most viral moment of the game, mocking a courtside Pistons fan who was then thrown out of the arena.
The heckler picked the wrong guy … and the wrong night.
It’s unclear what the fan, a woman practically sitting courtside beside the Lakers bench, said to set Bronny off. Whatever it was, LeBron‘s son fired back with two questions.
“Can you run a mile?” he asked … before following up by asking how much money she makes a year.
Bronny, by the way, is pulling in $2.3 million this season.
It got heated enough that Lakers staffers had to hold the 22-year-old back. The fan didn’t stick around much longer, either. Security escorted her out of the building moments later.

It’s the second time in three games a fan has been tossed from a Lakers game. On Wednesday in Sacramento, a fan got the boot for aggressively throwing the ball at official Chelisa Painter, and Luka Doncic confronted him over it.
This also isn’t Bronny’s first run-in with a heckler. Back in March 2025 against the Nuggets, a fan yelled “we own your father,” and Bronny hit him with … “Your chain fake.”

As for the actual game, the Lakers beat the Pistons 121-116 without Luka, who sat with lower back tightness. Austin Reaves dropped 43 … and had his own viral moment with a Pistons fan, though that guy got to stay.

Bronny, 0-0 on the court … but 2-2 with the heckler!
