Backers betting Bronny as long shot ROY pick
Briefly

The surprising betting interest on Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James has not only persisted but has now overshadowed bets placed on his legendary father, LeBron James. FanDuel reported 20% of the total money bet on Rookie of the Year odds was for Bronny, making him the clear favorite among bettors, despite his odds ranging from 250-1 to as long as 1,000-1. This signals strong public sentiment and financial speculation on the young player's potential impact this season.
James’ significant betting interest reflects a broader trend where he has attracted more Rookie of the Year bets than consensus favorites Zach Edey and Reed Sheppard combined, further emphasizing how bettors are rallying around him. This phenomenon speaks to the unique narrative of Bronny playing alongside his father, LeBron James, in the NBA — a story that has captivated fans and bettors alike, marking a new chapter in sports history.
