True, but Shaq wasn't playing in the NBA when his son joined the draft. I wouldn't be surprised if they had drafted his son while he was still playing. The NBA is a corporation, so nepotism is inevitable.
Thank you! No hating on him at all. If Bronny was a regular young man trying to get in the NBA on his stats, he wouldn’t have a chance AT ALL! Yes! He’s in because of his dad. There’s players in the G league right now that’s better than him and they’re not on the roster. If Bronny needs to be developed more, then put him on the G league.
It happens all the time. That's why the league is filled with garbage players. Bronny will be a star and you haters can just cry about it. Let me get the small violin for you 🎻 lol.
One thing people fail to consider is what would happen if somebody drafted Bronny at an attempt to extort extra picks from the Lakers? I think that’s another reason why Rich had to make it clear about where he’s going.
I’ve never seen the media fawn over the 55th pick. What a joke. We know LeFlop is a huge liberal influencer so they must protect him. Lakers aren’t about winning. They’re a sitcom. Always has been.
He didn’t have to tell them to not draft bronny He wasn’t getting picked by any other team he got picked 3rd from last There are players you’ll never see or hear of again that were drafted ahead of him He’s the third worst player in the draft Officially
Didn't no other team want Bronnie.The Lakers just picked him on the strength of his Lame ass daddy.Lakers y'all look bad.Yall lost a lot of true Lakers fans.
Is this a joke. How can he be the 55th best player available in this draft. He is not even the best player on this team. How does a guy get drafted with only 4.8 points a game.
Nobody can ever just be happy for someone it’s always gone be negativity this is why the world is how it is. Instead of being happy for the young man yall bash him for making his dream come true father or not he still has to play aau high school & college ball to get were he is how about we all Grow up and not be middle school kids for a moment
Lmao what happens when his daddy gone and teams are tellin him to go play overseas cause they don’t want him. He better be good now. 😭 3pts a game gon get you in Australia real fast. NBA doesn’t need any one person ladies and gentleman remember that. Bron can retire. Rich Paul can quit and guess what. Life gon go on 💀
Wish him the best, but if you think Bronny is drafted this year if not for his last name you’re lying to yourself. They told us for years that he was a 6’4 SG, and he’s actually a 6’1 PG. NBA players are not going to take it easy on him either. They are going to be trying to murk him on a nightly basis.
It’s a yes and a no…. Based on the body of work no…. Now if we’re 100 percent honest the bench players have gotten so bad why the fuck not…the boi can ball and shit half the time dlo and whoever else don’t score anyway…
Been a fan sonce Magic back in 1980 and i am surprised Magic said what he said. But, thr Lakers are about TITLES, not entitlement. So what about father son history we been making history losing in the playoffs and finals. Not including the bubble title. This will be bad for the whole year and who they are getting to come to this circus that Lebrin put together. This is what they will call facts about his legacy.
He outplayed all the players that played highscho with him he had a heart attack last year the only reason he averaged 4 point yall just some haters most yall never played and the Iones that did was trash jv at best
To the people who are confused about the word "Legacy"! It's not JUST YOUR FAMILY, it is community that reaches beyond family. It changes the world, not just the wallet! Sam Walmart just didn't leave a "legacy" for his kids, he left a Legacy for a generation of community families throughout the world. Anything else is just individualism and a smaller scale. Not downing the James, but people of color love using that term when it's has more to do with what you leave to the world than what you leave to your children. In the Bible they simply call that an inheritance!
🤣🤣🤣 what a lousy comment. Just say you hate LeBron James and the legacy he made for his family. LeBron goat James also built a school for kids and is developing a community for future generations. Just killed your argument. Lol.
@@LILDroidDEX 1) The school was already built 2) It's funded by the Akron public school system and two of Lebron's tax-exempt charities (ie: no personal funds involved) 3) 'The proficiency rates at the I Promise Academy in math and English language arts are significantly lower than the state average' Stay in school, kid
Anyone that has an issue with this never grew up with a powerful hard working father who made a way for himself while coming from the mud…….. Lakers used a late second round pick on a player they choose to develop. It happens. Mike Piazza was a late round favor. Only reason the Dodgers drafted him was because of his godfather Tony Larussa
Grown men on here like to hawk tuah i see on bronny james stop it im sure everyone wish dude well but dude been around basketball his whole life and only averages 4.2 per game dude cant hoop now will he develop maybe
I resigned from my 20+ year Laker fandom when they senselessly hired Westbrook. But I love this move lol I would make my team give my son a job too F y'all I put this league on my back my whole career!
Only logical comment here. All these idiots are triggered when Lebron is one of the best players in history and has the ability to pull some major strings.
Lebron may not be THE GOAT....BUT he is the goat of HIS era whether people want to believe it or not...lol. Ppl can choose to debate about this all day..lol. Some of yall will just have to agree to disagree..lol. Lebron has A LOT of pull so why are ppl surprised at this!? Lol! The man IS the face of the league..lol. Not Joker, not Curry, not Tatum, not Durant, not Luka...IT'S LEBRON. Period. So that man is gonna have his way because that how shit works in the NBA. Because if it was Joker or Curry in this situation and their sons had Bronny's unimpressive stats..lol..I don't believe they would get as much hate..lol.
@@bubbalove6337 the Lakers have either won a championship or appeared in the finals in every single decade. Wth are you talking about? 😂 Lakers will ALWAYS find a way on top, even after LeBron, it's the Lakers
Yet the dumb down sport writers don't think so. They think Bronny has a great upside and has a future in the NBA. Yes the kid can play basketball but just not at the pro level.
It's been around in sports for decades but this situation is absolutely unique. No player in the NBA has ever played at the same time as their child. Why not make history??
It was all scripted, starting with the Darvin ham firing Lebron's basically running the La franchise. LBJ tried to do the same thing with the heat, and they weren't having it.
Every team is gonna come after bronny big time (on defense)....whenever bronny get in the game.....this as one aspect the 1st father and son to play. However it's not gonna look good😢
