Bronny James Being Drafted Benefited LeBron, NOT Bronny 

The fact that he unfollowed Rachel Nichols for saying he probably won't be a star but then said she could see him become a Marcus Smart type is a sign of things to come. That's a compliment and best case scenario for Bronny yet he somehow felt offended.

Respect to these two for being honest and calling a spade a spade.

yall aint say nothing about zaccharie risacher or alex sarr since the draft but yall still talking about the 55th pick smh

Lebron cheating his son too 🤯🤯🤯

Nba is scripted Hollywood entertainment ,bronny will play his role like his father

A puppet GM, a puppet coach, and a puppet owner.... The Lakers are a perfect fit for Lebron, they all shamelessly don't give an F!

Signs of this were first shown imo when Lebron was doing dunks in his son’s lay up line. Couldn’t let him have his own shine then and won’t let him have it now

Average 4 points / game on a bad ISC team Also. “I won’t accept a two way contract” Oh yeah…. Totally legit

I agree…I don’t think anyone (especially his parents and agent) are thinking of what is best for this young man.

Will be awesome to see father and son make history by not making the play-in.

These guys are hitting the nail on the head. I've been thinking more and more that this is about Lebron and his desires, not what was best for Bronny. Pretty sad and shows the selfishness I think of Lebron. In one way you can say it's nice of him to use his influence to help his son, but I don't get the feeling that is truly what's going on here, but Lebron forcing this on everyone including his son. I think also potentially if Bronny stayed another year he clearly wouldn't be a NBA draft pick so there'd probably be little chance of him being drafter. So they gambled that this was his best shot to ever be drafted. For Bronny would have been nice for him to transfer, pick his own school, grow in his game, to see even if he still wanted to play basketball. After his heart attack, I'm not sure this is a good decision anyway for Bronny to keep playing. But ultimately we'll find out if he can really hang in the NBA. I just hope for him he can know when to hang it up, and say alright I tried this, and am moving on to something else in life.

If left guy is Kerry, then why the hell do y'all have the names ordered that way?

Finally some objective commentary

Well, so far, drafting bronny is free agent repellent.

The Lakers obviously don't care about winning. Jeanie only wants money and not championships. Most true Laker fans have wanted LeBron gone since '22

Lebron had to pull the strings to get Bronny on the Lakers NOW! One more unimpressive college season for Bronny, with Lebron seriously on the verge of actual retirement, few if any teams would take Bronny. This is about actualizing Lebron’s dream of playing with his son at all costs even if it means subjecting his son to overwhelming pressure and scrutiny. Lebron is a narcissistic psychopath. I’m glad he hung around this long so we could have actual proof to how screwed up this guy actually is. The day Lebron retires will be a great day in NBA history.

Bronny’s privilege is showing lol

Lebron has generational wealth. His kids go to prestigious high schools. Why does he need to drag Bronny out of school for the NBA? There is no desperation here. It's just stupidity

Yall just some HATERS….FLAT OUT

I think everyone is looking at this the wrong way. These guys are right to a point. Lebron has been saying for the past couple years that he wants to play with Bronny. He said money did not matter, but it was HIS dream. Lebron also said that it may not be Bronny’s dream to do so and he was ok with that. Now the realty set in where Bronny has the talent but probably would not be drafted based on that talent. This is where the deal was made, for Bronny and Lebrons benefit. LeBron gets to live out his dream and Bronny gets to be in the NBA. This is why he will take a pay cut to bolster the roster to benefit the Lakers. Not sure where these narratives are coming from when this has been right in front of us the past couple years.

I'm unable to calculate how many times he said calculated.

Its crazy to say a Dad calculating to help his son make it is bad. He will develop more in the nba than college

It literally ONLY benefited Lebron. Everyone else, Bronny, The Lakers, The NBA, the guy who who could have had the roster spot, fans and common sense all took a beating.

Bruh y’all act like he went #1

Guy’s a hypocrite, says Belichick’s son being an assistant coach is not nepotism. Throw the opinion in the trash.

Imagine your dream is to make the NBA. You’ve worked hard all of your life and avoided all of the temptations that were thrown at you along the way. You went to college and had a decent enough career to get drafted in the late 2nd round. No guarantees you’ll make an NBA team but you have a good shot. You immediately get to work and show your work ethic and high character. Well, it’s comes down to one last roster spot on the team. If you make it you’ll make life changing money and fulfill your dream of being an NBA player. But unfortunately you get the pink slip and get cut. So close but so far away. It came down to you and another player that happens to have a famous daddy that plays in the NBA and an uncle that happens to be his agent. You should’ve got that last spot and you deserved it but you lost out to a player that averaged 3 points a game in college and should’ve never even been drafted in the first place. This is obviously a hypothetical situation that’s probably going to happen once training camp starts. Someone is going to get cut because of this. And you have clowns on social media defending this move and if you don’t you’re labeled a hater and that’s followed by some kind of racial slur. Makes me chuckle for real. Carry on!

2yrs guaranteed no G league for a 2nd rounder? Smh another stain on the lakers.

Only thing can erase his draft drama if he comes out and wind roty

Let's let coaches draft their 34 year old son from the LA fitness league, i'm sure we can make feel good story about that, if youre looking for a soap opera.

Im Just saying Guys why dont they have this energy for LeBron like they did for LaVar and LaVar kids were proven and has proved too be good NBA Players they was saying should his Kids stepback from him The Media was really saying this guys kids should disown him so my Question is should Bronny stepback from his dad too Make a career of his own because right now he is known as the kid who got drafted because of his Dad atleast Lonzo and Lamelo were talented enough too go top 3 thats all Im saying I want fairness. 💯💯💯

Don’t defend nepotism! You can’t say LBJ is wrong and coaching nepotism is fine. Keep that same energy

Hmm, they are kinda rough in the NBA..can't imagine Dillon brooks not salivating to take a shot at bronny.....lol

Bron is so fake he'll sacrifice Bronny for his fake legacy, 🤦🤦🤦🤦

If it was up to the media we wouldn’t have any information about the top picks of this draft. All yall do is talk about bronny.

Waiting for Lamelo Ball vs Bronny James

Would MJ do this for his son’s? Never………

LeBron whole career is calculated and scripted

Bronny was drafted only becasue of who his father is. He showed nothing in college to make him a second round pick. Without his name he would have gone undrafted. Not aying he won't get better over time and turn into a legitimate NBA player, but right now he just isn't.

It’s a distraction so people aren’t talking about his steroid usage

You have to be brain dead if you don’t think Bronny benefits from playing and being mentored by one of the greatest ever who just so happens to be his dad. What scenario is better for a young talent that needs to develop.

My God, you guys are soo jealous of this dude....give it a break....let the kid play, we will see what he does.. A black man hating on another because he has the juice.

why yall aint talk about giannis like this his brother is literally only there because him i never heard nobody about "nepotism" talk about that

What good Father wouldn't want to play with his son and make history.

Manifestations are mentally calculated when aligned. You visualize, speak things into existence, and co-create with the host power. Some of y’all will get it years from now. Calculated in the sense you guys are talking about is toxic. Bronny will take away so much more playing with his dad every day. But if you focus on nitpicking LJ, you’ll be blind. Family lineage isn’t about self. Ever!!! If Bronny didn’t want to do it he would have worked out for other teams.

It doesn’t matter about bronny being prepared for the NBA or not …. Facts say that young players play with elite players growing up will benefit them in the long run … case in point all the European players who were playing with pro players from 12 n up …. America wake up please ur all confused

Yall clearly dont actually watch basketball at the level of second round picks, college, and high school talent. This much is clear. And it’s sucks to see yall talk as if you do spewing a bunch of incorrect analysis.

…this video seemed “calculated” 🤦‍♂️…my goodness, expand your vocabulary…

G-league MVP 2023 Carlik jones 2024 Mac McClung. THESE are the PGs battling for a roster spot. McClung back2back NBA Dunk Contest winner. Foh Bronnie-pooh

Over half the Players each year drafted in the First Round aren't ready to play in the NBA. So what's the real problem with James and the Lakers drafting Bronny with the FREAKING 55th pick. Which by the way is in the Second Round.

Dumbest Draft moment I've seen in my 46 years of being a die hard NBA fanatic...what Ms. Buss and Mr. Pelinka have done to this franchise is truly disheartening.

You didn’t think the equity he brought with the lakers wasn’t enough??? MF the lakers were in no mans land when Kobe left AND won them a damn championship winning finals MVP lmao wtf you talking about

Can I get that 11 mins back please?

do yall understand what the word benefit means?

Why not go back in time, and criticize, Ken Griffey, Senior and Junior! It's Calculating!!!😂

Yeah, it doesn't benefit the guy that got drafted to the NBA 😂 Where do they find these clowns?

no way yall still talking about this this

Can’t wait to watch him flop
