Jeremiah Fears made headlines earlier this week by calling himself a “top two point guard of all time” — a confident claim that came under immediate scrutiny after his rough Summer League outing against Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the highly anticipated matchup, Fears struggled mightily with efficiency, going just 5-for-21 from the field and 1-for-7 from three-point range in the Pelicans’ 94-81 loss. Despite finishing with 15 points, the 6’3” guard had zero assists and struggled to generate offense consistently. Meanwhile, Bronny James contributed a solid 14 points, showing more poise and polish in just 24 minutes.
The box score tells the story: while Bronny played a controlled game, Fears was forcing shots and couldn’t find his rhythm. For a player who’s dubbed himself among the greats, this early performance will need a quick turnaround to keep that narrative alive.
