Bronny James Drafted 55th To The Lakers, Getting Criticism For Nepotism | Pat McAfee Reacts 

💯 😂😂😂 that would've been the greatest troll ever

@@w00deey12 thanks bud, that means a lot!

Traded him for their pick and a fourth,... Should've....

Well I hope you aren’t referring to Bronny being drafted 55th because everyone is talking about him.

The gems no one talks about put up numbers in their own divisions, leagues etc not bronny

@@SCHOOLERstyle Major Cap, and yes I looked at the vids. You cant be as delusional to think that pickup games at the park are even close to NBA or even Collegiate level?

@@SCHOOLERstyle Cap slow average athletic ability and he would beat you

@@SCHOOLERstylefishing for views off of bronny back is crazy work go find a job you 40 year old bum

That’s the point…

Ya think?

A lot of teams wanted Bronny, are you dumb? They knew LBJ wasn’t gonna come if they drafted him so the teams gave up. You’re telling me, the pistons, hornets, rockets, magic, jazz, pelicans, hawks and so on had ZERO interest? lol okay, guy, if you say so

That's not true 😊

He didn’t have to tell people they wasn’t going to draft him anyway

His agent was telling everyone not to draft him because he was going to play in Australia next year so if you do pick him he’s not playing for you and you’ve burned a draft pick.

lakers have no cap lebum wants a max 50 mil contract hahahaaha what a joke

Totally agree. No onions on any of these GMs. Draft him and hold him hostage. If he doesn’t play, screw him. He’s not an NBA player anyway.

@@kenthansonit’s still a second round pick. If it was a lottery pick sure it will be a waste but out all 28 second rounder maybe 3 will see a start 5 years from now

@@andy522g yeah but you don’t want to be the GM who took bronny as a goof and then the next Jokic is picked next. I’m a vacuum the spite pick works but not as appealing in real life.

Can't help but feel for the drafts that actually deserve some coverage.

​@@MiSambraDudes in the G league working hard every day to make a roster, bronny who's lived in a mansion his whole life gets to just walk on

Lakers need a positive talking point while their nursing home of a team tries to compete

Kyle Shannon, Jay Gruden, Belichech son and so many more.

@@BeanieDoggersonwelcome to America

Its pathetic. Lebron has been ruining the franchises since day 1. Cant wait for him to retire

It's not only nepotism, but very likely also bribery, blackmail and threat from LeBron and his hyenas.

The delusional laker fans will see when they win nothing again and Bron and bronny retires and now they are left with a team with no future. They gonna regret saying “who cares about the draft we got Bron for 2-3 more years!!”

@@michaelperez3720please tell me how good the lakers were before he got there?? Complete trash

Nepotism happens all the time in sports, getting into college, and in the government bm

Bro the last 55 picks or lower that did anything was Manu. For a 900k salary, the ammount of money the lakers can generate with this.... it's such a low risk high reward play why wouldn't you?

Y’all been doing it for 530 years in this country dope

I guess we can figure out what you have been doing with all your time spent in this country too. @derrickdeal2374

nobody thinks it’s not, but the part that you don’t get is we don’t t care

The Lakers organization is owned through nepotism😂 Shut up please.

it would go like this no matter what or when he decided to enter into the draft because of who his dad is. At least now, his dad still is the biggest name in the game and he can be with his dad for the 2-3 yrs of criticism he will receive. Then once his dad retires, we will know what he is by then and he can stay on a roster, if hes good, or he can bow out of the NBA

Its the only way he could get into the NBA, he ass

If I was Bronny I wouldn’t give two shits what those other players think! They don’t sign my paycheck and quite frankly it isn’t Bronnys fault that their dads weren’t one of the greatest basketball players ever! Sick of people acting like they just handed Bronny the secretary of defense job! If you removed him from this draft you wouldn’t even give two shits about who LA chose at 55! People go undrafted every year and still make it! Hell Udonis Haslem played 20 damn years as an undrafted player! Austin Reaves just went undrafted and he just signed a nice contract last year! Stop with the BS

Bryce will be better​@@noxcure

@@Jgarthebeast if he averaged even double or triple his pts people couldn’t have a true argument against him though and to me that’s the difference

3 years from now?

@@aaron-jp8ibJust whenever LBJ calls it quits there is no need to keep Bronny around anymore, doesn’t matter if it’s 1 or 4 years time.

@@deco7651 I feel the lakers won’t do that. They’ll burn a spot on him for a couple years and he just won’t see game time.

😂😂😂😂

Yup it’s funny seeing these fanboys say “if u draft bronny u get bron when hes 40!!!” Both of em retiring at the same time like u said 😂😂😂

Every player that went undrafted cares bruh. Trust me lol

You care. Don’t know why you’ll still be on the internet either way pal

White people complaining about nepotism is the funniest thing ever yall are crazy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@Bentley7Cruize anyone who is good that went undrafted will get signed within a week anyways

@@Bentley7Cruizehe was a first round grade before the heart issue.

He definitely went too high but we’re talking bout a 6’5 with a 6’9 wingspan and a much better offense game potential. He got 7 minutes per game compared to bronnys 19 mpg as well

​@@csiggoestoapt2f807 that's what I said when I was watching the draft

Or Giannis's brother

Lmfao

No bur for real his other kid gets drafted in 2026. Gurrentee he's gonna play another 3 or 4 years and Lakers will draft his other son.

@coryvallad7578 I'm all for players having influence to a certain degree but this has got to stop the fact that u can get ur son hired just because ur lebron is too much imo

​@MacDre-ez2oc yep. Because everyone knows all elite players come from pick 55. So many teams have no idea if they will ever even get use out of their 55th overall pick. Many players at that point are stashed away elsewhere and we almost never get to see them play. If he got picked first round, I get it. But, the pool of players that emerge from that portion of the draft as stars is not large. And if the team feels more comfortable with a player they know vs. one they don't, it is really not a big deal. I get that you are saying but this happens all the time and getting ruffled over someone risking the 6th to last pick on the son of the best player of all time, worth the risk.

@J2R6T the point I was making is the only reason he even got drafted at all is because of his daddy, which shows that he has way too much power

I pray to God that you’re either younger than 20, or a woman. I hope you’re not a grown ass man complaining about another’s success like that 😮

That's how it works in a lot of places, even the presidents cabinet.

Exactly

You sucked him off?

How did it taste?

so when did he take you to his room?

no one wants to get drafted in the late 2nd round -- going undraftet is technically better, since the contracts are non-guaranteed and being undrafted allows negotiation with every team -- hence why late 2nd round players (i.e. austin reaves who declined to be drafted at #41) often prefer to be undrafted.

U know any other 55th ovrpick huh yt boy

Y’all are so ignorant it’s insane. Bronny was a McDonald’s all American and top ranked HS prospect. He had a cardiac arrest heart injury that definitely affected his college play. And Y’all act like he was drafted in the lottery he was 5 picks away from being undrafted.

the only 55 pick to ever make a career was manu. every other 55 pick has been cut or out the league. any player that is any good has been signed after the draft. nobody’s spot was taken. he hasn’t even made the team yet.

True but the reason Thanasis is in the league still is Giannis.

@RDobbs-uv4xc: Most parents want their kids to be successful, it’s hard enough to make it to the NBA as it is. The question is if you could help your child get their foot in the door of their dream job would you? I’m sure everyone & their parents want to make it on their own merit, when it comes down to being in your chosen field I’m sure most would like to be given a chance even if it’s purely off of a recommendation.

@@RDobbs-uv4xc ight whatever man that’s what everyone says💀

Bronny definitely worked hard which is half of it. So I’m happy for him in that aspect. But did he earn it? Probably not.

He’s in the nba now. We all know he’ll fail but there’s no reason to mock him for being Lebron’s son at this point. He got into the league on nepotism, we all know it, but now it’s time to start judging him on his own merit

Okay ​@@mr.doctorcaptain1124

Hey Jr Pip still gotta chance. He didn't look hopeless in spot starts last year.

Looking for people to join you I see

Bro- Pippen Jr averaged 13 ppg in the NBA! And his daughter he doesn’t talk to is an Olympic volleyball player.

@@Jaeroelmao “daughter he doesn’t talk to” so she didn’t use nepotism like Bronny to go on the Olympics???

Im just commenting about thatvpoint Yes you can. LeBron has seen a ton of players in his time in the league. He sees bronny every day. If LeBron didn't think bronny was at least good enough to be a rotation guy he wouldn't have showed his ass like this. In ordder for someone to put their name out there for you, you have to show that person why its worth their reputation in the short and possibly the long-term to do that for you. Doesn't matter if its your parents a manager, teacher etc...In a way you have to show what's in it for them besides your gratitude.

100%. It is a stupid take, especially in sports

Bronny didn’t earn it, Lebron earned the ability to make decisions like this by being the greatest player in NBA history. Deal with it

They are saying Lebron earned it, not necessarily Bronny. You have to look at it from the NBA’s perspective, yes seeing Lebron & Bronny play together is worth Bronny getting drafted in the NBA’s eyes.

Nepotism is a great thing. If it’s you, you’d do the same. Let’s work hard become successful but not help our kids😂😂😂😂 It’s only a problem because it’s Bron.

@@travionpatterson9776bingo!! All these people complaining sound like if they invented the car and they’d want their kid to use a damn horse🤣

You're right, you don't watch basketball so you wouldn't know that the NBA draft is nothing like the NFL draft. Anything after the first 20 picks is a crapshoot. 2nd rounders get traded for a can of corn and a washing machine

Alot of the first rounders in this draft will bust out of the league in 2-3 years but let’s pretend the 55th overall pick is a big deal

​@@darkangels119exactly, these people acting like every second round pick is Jokic or Manu

@@joen6894it’s not about owning him a favor it’s about lebron is a free agent. if you want him to sign you better draft his son with a useless pick that you would have cut any other player you drafted there anyways.

@@will-zj5gq ah yes, the old “it was actually that he chose to hold his team and the entire league hostage to bend to his wishes” defense instead of it merely being a favor. That certainly makes him somehow look better.

Huh? Lavar has 2 kids in the NBA drafted in the top 3, his kids have gotten major contracts & are set. I’m sure Lavar is satisfied with that, I’m sure he wishes they could stay healthy but he’s done his job

Meh. His kids actually got drafted on their own merit at least.

Why should’ve he went undrafted?

Facts. Lebron is too powerful for them to say anything. But lowkey lebron deserves what happened. Dreams should come true.

Let’s just be clear, Thanasis would not still be on the Bucks or in the league if his brother had not taken off, which is still nepotism. Bronny is not trying to be his dad, he knows if he makes it, it will be for his defense and he impressed at the combine. There are many guys like that in the league, but his size is definitely an issue.

@@projectgraham414 I see a lot of TJ McConnell in Bronny….

Apparently AJ Johnson averaged 2 ppg and he went in the first round
