48-year-old Jalen Rose was a part of the NBA for over a decade. Playing vital roles during his stints with franchises such as Indiana and Chicago, he was also the NBA’s Most Improved Player in 2000. Having retired many years ago, Rose is now an analyst on various platforms. Speaking recently about the Lakers’ struggles this year, he believed it was interesting that the side was celebrating a victory against the Sacramento Kings. In addition, he believed that at this rate, Jeanie Buss and co. may want to scout someone like Bronny James. Here’s what he had to say.

Jalen was talking on the Jalen & Jacoby show, when he referenced LeBron’s son. He opined that in addition to looking out for various G-League stars, the yellow and purple devils may want to consider someone more obvious. “Earlier in the year when the Lakers were struggling, and people was getting picked up from the G-League and overseas, I’m like, I’m out of shape. But I know LeBron lives with somebody named Bronnie that might help the Lakers.”
