Bronny James – son of Los Angeles Lakers legend Lebron – was cheered by the Washington Wizards crowd as he scored a career-high five points against their own side in the NBA.

The home support were chanting the 20-year-old’s name before he even entered the game for the fourth quarter at the Capital One Arena.

As well as his five points, James also had two rebounds, two assists and a steal during his late cameo, with the crowd chanting “MVP” (most valuable player) as he rounded off the scoring with two late free throws.

Father LeBron – who has been named MVP four times in his career – had left the game late in the third quarter after scoring a game-high 24 points with 11 assists, helping the Lakers to a comfortable 134-96 win.
