Obviously, the whole James family could pack up shop and go ride off into the sunset. Bronny was set for life the day he was born. The question is, is his entire life the Bolt movie, where he thinks he's the shiznit, but everyone around him is making a fake life for him, or does he have what it takes to legit get what he's getting. Does he know this is all bs and his dad is giving him a life he didn't earn? Or has he gotten to the point where he's fooled himself. I honestly don't care either way. He's set for life and I still have to hustle to pay the bills!
Frank, I have to disagree with your last point: the second thing that America loves after an underdog story is the fall from grace. We are a country of haters.
Fall from grace? Where is the grace in this situation? It's straight up nepotism. LeBron James is only "grateful" if he gets what he wants. I feel bad for Bronny, but this situation deserves the type of attention it's getting.
Bronny wants to be considered his own man but is still using his last name as leverage to get in at the same time. He can’t have it both ways, regardless if he jumps in the league this early and flop or turn out half way decent,people will never give him any credit for his own success. He not a bad player nor person he just needs work. No need to rush because the NBA is not going anywhere and Lebron has a few seasons left in him still. If he truly wants to play with Bronny he’ll stick around til then 💯 let the kid develop first 💯

His father may get him there, but it's his game that will dictate if he stays or not. I am good with the whole father helping the son to keep the family's farm going for generations. SO WHY CAN'T HE DO THE SAME? Without incuring so much scrutiny. We wouldn't chastise anyone for teaching their son or even using one's clout for the betterment of one's child
@@lunaaryal8745 Show me your source that Jordan tried to get his kids on an NBA roster. I'm finding a lot of you folks are now just making up stuff about MJ to make it look like he did Lebron-like stuff.
@@Nivla1919 Really? Marcus Jordan at UCF made the conference all-freshman team and was All-CUSA his sophomore year averaging 15 ppg. How many points did Bronny average this year?
Whats the mystery hes not good enough for the nba or to even be drafted if there was a 3rd round its all nepotism and everyone knows it . But you ain't gonna here anyone say it because the media is afraid of that weirdo lebron
Rich Paul announcing Bronny won't sign a two-way deal was genius because now teams in the middle of the second round won't take him because they normally offer two-way contracts to those guys, then Bronny only working out for two teams makes the risk even more greater because teams don't have a guage to his true talent level.
The last thing you said in the end is honestly the key. If Bronny proves he's good enough to stay in the NBA, this talk will die down a bit. If he becomes another Thenasis...good luck to him!
Only someone like LeBron who has become so delusional over the years can't see what a giant clusterfuck this is going to be. The Lakers this season will give a new definition of Showtime when the biggest news is reported from inside the locker room and not what happens on the court and non Lakers fans and LeBron haters will love every second of it
It's not just that it's a nepotism case. It's the SHELTERING thing that drives people crazy. Don't tell people you want to be your "own" man and only do one interview, only workout out for your father's team (and Phoenix), have your Dad's agent (now your agent) calling around telling GMs to not draft you. That's not being your own man, that's being your Dad's lackey.
Idk if imma dad was a lebron I would been a brainiac I was tryna be a lawyer and some kinda specialist doctor but that’s just me I hope he take this opportunity he was blessed with and run far with it. 🙏🏿
At first I was rooting for him to make it. But not anymore. I think it's weak AF that the only reason he's gonna make it is because of his father. It's a h*e move and for bronny to be on board with it says alot about who he is as well. This kid most likely is gonna be hated probably his whole career and it's Bron's fault.
It is kind of sad but I honestly don’t blame him as he is probably too intimidated by his father and his dreams from to even voice an opinion let alone protest.
The craziest thing is that the Lakers are essentially wasting an opportunity to get a steal in the second round in favor of someone who has no business even being in the G-League. Leadership has no spine. Whatever LeBrat wants, LeBrat gets, right? He’s going to destroy that team on the way out after he is finally able to play alongside his overrated Nepo Baby son. Bronny will be humbled quick. I used to love the Lakers and some of my favorite players of all time were Laker legends. Now, I can’t stand them thanks to GM LeBrat and his Los Angeles LeBrons.
I told my old co worker Bryce was going to be the NBA superstar. He has a much more natural talent and honestly the second born always has a point to prove lol
The numbers were bad, but the fact is the tools are there and Bronny has very real potential to be a Kyle Lowry type player at his peak. I think he WILL play in the NBA and at an NBA level given time, which to me makes his inevitable drafting fine, if not totally fair.
I think he wasn’t given an option, I think his father is living his dreams through his son and he doesn’t care who he hurts or what he steels in the process
That’s what I don’t get out of this it seems like every option that could help Bronny develop and make him a better player is being ditched just to get him in the league as quick as possible.
As a piatons fan i hate lebron, but as a dad i dont hate what he is doing for his son, i help get me son an internship this summer, life is about leveraging your network, life isnt fair, why would i care what some randoms say?
Im writing this BEFORE I watch the video... But please, you all should get a life. Stop being jealous and/or "farming for engagement" with a young man who's making his way in life. Bronny is MORE than worthy of being the 55th pick. He was the 27th player in his class coming out of high school before he had his heart STOP in practice. Theyve been guys picked in the 30-50 range who never ever made an SUMMER LEAGUE roster much less a main roster. Hes got HIGH athleticism and ELITE defence for his age plus a HIGH ball IQ. And since there was not a SINGLE player who was clearly more deserving of a drafted spot, even if he was only picked cause of his Dad, then SO WHAT??? He's been given an OPPORTUNITY. Now its on him to make it work. Finally Rich Paul had to threaten teams not to draft him before 55... It means multiple teams wanted him ABOVE 55. And any allegations that his rising in the mock drafts was enginnered is just stupid. Especially since some of those mocks are done by the same media outlets attacking Bron and Bronny PS: He measured 6 ft 1 AND A HALF in the combine. IN BARE FEET. Throughout history all players have neasured 2 inches shorter in feet than their listed height until a few years ago. News flash Jordan was actually 6 ft 4.5 in bare feet and Shaq (by his own admission is only 6 ft 11 not his listed 7 ft 2)
I just hope people don’t try to make him Lebron’s shadow …..in my opinion I think he will be decent but he didn’t show & prove in college however it’s nepotism at best with this but people shouldn’t be made because anyone would do the same if they thought their kid was capable
Y’all are some real life haters! And I question the motivation for making this video. The former president literally had his ENTIRE family working in the WH AND profiting from running his personal businesses. How many executives have their kids inheriting billions of dollars from SITTING on they ass? Bottom line: if my child were to ever show serious interest in something I’m great at, best believe imma work my ass off to open the doors to success! Bronny is a hard worker. He’s humble and loves the game. Let the man live! And I’m not even a fan of LBJ.
I disagree. The reality is if bronny isnt good enough he is gonna gwt cut the second LBJ retired. If bronny can use the time between now and then to get to an NBA level, if when LBJ leaves he is of a role player level then i dont really see the issue. Countering that if he isnt basically you can say he got handed every headstart possible and he still failed. Either way it's gonna work itself out. But i do agree not being willing to take a 2way contract is kind of bullshit
It's the reality of life which isn't fair or equal. There are likely far more talented players out there who aren't going to get the opportunity to get themselves to the NBA level like you mentioned Bronny will have. I could see Klutch sports playing games like: if you want player A, you need to also sign Bronny a roster spot. Some may not like it. I say it is what it is.
@FrankMichaelSmith half the same. You don't seem to think it's fair that he can basically use the leverage his dad would bring to a team if they draft him...and it isn't, but I'm ok with it because I sort of see it as lebron being the one getting the special treatment, not Bronny. Bronny, just happens to benefit from the treatment. Sometimes in life you have people bat for you in a way that isn't exactly fair or based on merit. The only thing you can do in those situations is if you are on the positive side, prove that it wasn't a mistake and if you are that unlucky 59th person that doesn't get drafted because the son of a legend moved up 50 spots just know someone in the gleague will want the 59th guy and you just gotta go the long way if you really want it
@@kevinsmithfan37 I'm pretty neutral about it. The only thing I wonder about is the public embarrassment if he's clearly out of his element and it becomes obvious he was never an NBA talent from the rip. Unless these guys are super confident he can play at this level, everybody involved is going to look bad. But if they don't care, I certainly won't. It also seems like this is Lebron's dream more than Bronny's.
Players do this exact thing all the time, your gassing the privilege thing hard. I mean he is a player that was drafted 55, last time I checked that is not favorite. Players always pick where they want to go. Look at Austin Rivers playing for his dad but there isn't any scrutiny as much because the best player ever son is doing it too. Just let the kid play basketball.
Well I know millions of son's that would love to be in this trapped and if it's nepotism fine because it's as American as apple pie and please stop acting like you care more about Lebron son than he does and for all of you who are mad I'm glad that you are mad 😎😡💯
