Bronny James fires back at heckling Pistons fan: 'Can you run a mile?' as Lakers staff hold him back
Bronny James never got off the bench in Detroit on Sunday night, but he still had the most viral moment of the Lakers' 121-116 win over the Pistons. Fan video shows the 22-year-old turning to a woman sitting courtside next to the Lakers bench and firing back, "Can you run a mile? How much money you make a year?" Lakers staffers stepped in and held him back, and security escorted the fan out of Little Caesars Arena moments later. The video only catches Bronny's side, so what she said to set him off is still unknown. It is not his first heckler moment: in March 2025 a Nuggets fan yelled "we own your father" and Bronny answered, "Your chain fake." Bronny, recalled from the G League on Nov. 7, is earning about $2.3 million this season. Austin Reaves scored 43 in the win.
