How BAD is Bronny James Actually? 

If his father is not Lebron James, nobody would even mention him. No RU-vid videos about him too.

Bronny's best course to be the best he can be is to stay in school to develop. In the G-League, he'd be overwhelmed. He's not even Amari Bailey or LiAngelo Ball now.

5 points a game as a freshman and I’m seeing articles about him being drafted? Fuck ESPN.

If he was ACTUALLY 6'4" as was claimed here that would be a great size for a combo guard. The problem is he's closer to 6'1" in reality.

He averages 5 ppg on a bad college team. Ridiculous he is even considered a prospect.

Bronny should talk with MJ and Shaq's sons all who played at least college ball, and with Shaq's son, Shareef, having played in G League. They'd know best about having that big shoe to fill, and having a GOAT/Top 10 of All Time as the father, except both MJ and Shaq never pushed for them to be NBA players. What I don't like about Bronny's situation is that LeBron is almost forcing him to NBA as soon as he can.

Why declared for NBA if you are not even good enough in college?

I just hope the young man chases his own dreams, not his father’s.

If Bronny wants to do what's best for him (and by doing so ignore his father's wish to play together), he should just stay in college for the entire 4 years. John Stockton, one of the greatest point guards ever, was an even worse player in his first year at Gonzaga (averaging 3 ppg, 1 apg and 1 TO). But 4 years of college really helped him develop into what he has become.

injuries, heart condition, undersized and cant shoot. he’s a terrible prospect but he:’s LBs kid so he’ll get drafted and nobody will bat an eye

"But dad... I JUST WANNA DANCE!"

I think a full 2 seasons after that cardiac arrest will be needed to be 100% comfortable on the court.

The kid had a heart attack is a miracle the young lad is still playing the sport he loves.

If his name wasn’t bronny James he wouldn’t even play at usc, let’s be real real honest. 6 points and almost a steal, lmao. He would legit be team water boy if Lebron wasn’t his dad.

It's actually kinda sad how much we look at some children and say "this is going to be your future, now entertain us for our profit."

As a basketball player no one would even know of him not even most USC fans.

This is why I LOVE sports...Nepotism dont mean shit....You got to prove it on the court...All the name recognition and family connections can secure you a shot, but at the end of the day you earn it...Nothing is given in sports..Except Doc Rivers championship contending coaching opportunities..

Think about the poor kid who lost his spot on McDonald´s All American just because Bronny has a famous dad...

They list him at 6-4 but he’s a lot closer to 6-2. A team might take him just because of his name. He needs to stay in college

The money is nice but it's gotta suck to be burdened with unwarranted expectations, esp when your dad is piling on more. Hope the kid has the mental to deal with it.

That heart issue is a free pass to create his own legacy in a different field. Not worth the risk. Let Bryce follow dad

Bronny is NOT 6'4. They're lying about that boys height.

Wemby was born in the same year as Bronny, so they were technically meant to be in the same class and even comparable, but health setback aside which is unfortunate, there is no comparison. I do feel for Bronny in terms of the pressure of forever being in the shadow of his father. Imagine being Usain Bolt's son and being named Usain Bolt Jr and getting into sprinting for a career. It's the same thing. beyond the obvious physical health I wish him well for his mental and emotional health also.

It seems like in the NBA if the father wasn’t a legend the son turns out to be a great basketball player ( examples: curry, booker, klay). But if the father is a legend the son turns out to be mediocre.

Lebron shouldn't have said that he wants to play with bronny I can't imagine how frustrated bronny is

Bryce will be the closest to LeBron for sure

37% FG 27% 3PT 62% FT = doesn't shoot well. 2.5 assists 1.1 turnovers = not a great point guard. 0.2 blocks 0.7 steals = not the world class defender we are told he is.

Who tf names their kid Bronny 😂😂 I thought this whole time it was a nickname

I dont think he is bad. He just not NBA material.

If he gets drafted hell just embarass himself in the nba.

Bronny is 8th on his team for scoring and 11th in field goal percentage for USC. I can’t imagine how he ranks statistically in the NCAA nation wide. In regards to the NBA, Lebron said “we gonna weigh our options and let him make the decision.”

Him going #60 makes sense. He’s at least 2-3 years away from being an nba player, if he ever gets there. Regardless LA should telegraph it and perhaps the league will let LeBron have what he wants.

The prime example of nepotism.

Nothing can recreate the necessity of struggle. It's a big difference, especially when it comes to willpower

He had a heart attack … he missed training camp during the summer … he isn’t getting the PT that he would have … I think he still has potential

I've been watching Bronny James tape for the past two years or so. I predicted 4ppg, 2apg at the college level. It was quite evident that he was a good high school player, but not really a great talent that would warrant an NBA draft pick. I feel bad for the kid, it's not his fault people have high expectations of him and are too lazy to watch the film on him for themselves. In high school was a complimentary player, no where near the star player like his father. I wish the kid all the best, and hope he enjoys playing college ball, that it more than most people can achieve in athletics.

Hes not bad , he's just not ready yet , he should stay for another year to develop his game

Blud is averaging under 6 points 😂

I have a son his age I will never criticize this kid or any other kid only a father would know not to criticize the kid basketball or not we love our sons no matter of a basketball skill

Unpopular opinion but I like his game....he picks up his man before half court, hustles, and looks to make the extra pass. He can knock it down from range and has a nice floater. I think he just needs to gets to his comfortable spots and that will come as his game matures. Let's celebrate this kid and hope he succeeds rather than put him down. By all accounts he seems like a disciplined kid who loves the game... something we all used to dream of. LeBron and Savannah did a great job of raising them kids and we need to salute that. Let them boys have their day 🫡

Shanghai Sharks material

I literally guarded dudes better in my HS conference 😂😂😂

The dude didn’t seem that good before the cardiac incident. A lot of 4 star recruits average more points than he did in high school. He is garnering the attention almost solely on LBJ’s son.

4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per game while shooting just 36.6% from the floor, 26.7% from three, and 67.6% from the free-throw line

Lebron ego is the issue here he never let bronny be himself his dad is a narcissist

His skillset doesn't match his frame. He either has to change his play style or grow a few more inches. His brother is better built for the NBA.

Imagine the pressure this kid has though.

Feel so bad for the guy I mean he is lucky enough to be the son of a future billionaire and the second best basketball player to ever do it but the expectations for him are just too damn high and it seems he isn’t gifted enough to compete, not to mention his health problems.

He's a college level player, and even if he isn't NBA level right now, that doesn''t make him "so bad" or "terrible". It is very, very, VERY hard to make it to the nba, and I think we all know that, so I don't know why people enjoy shitting on him relentlessly

If he’s so “gifted” and “elite” as you put it, he’d be putting up better numbers even as a freshman. Without his a daddy, he’d barely whiff a mid-major school.

This never surprised me

I hate that as a Lakers fan, we all know that we’re gonna waste a pick on him

Hes raw and needs to upgrade his offense. I feel bad after his cardiac but also the inherent pressure of being a superstars son just makes people want him to fail.

Whys no one asking why a young athlete experienced a cardiac arrest? His dad tried to give him the juice 💉early and backfired

Averaged 9 ppg for his 3 high school seasons. Averaging 6 ppg at USC. It's ridiculous that he's talked about as a NBA player. Lebron saying he's better than most of the current Lakers is so disrespectful to current Lakers players. I can only imagine what his teammates say behind closed doors. I'd bet my life savings Lebron will hardcore pressure the Lakers to draft Bronny.

I really hope he does another year or two at college, gets drafted and does well. Almost entirely just bc the hate and amount of people who want him to fail for some strange reason

Lebron messed up by having Bronny play on stacked teams since he was young. He never had the chance to flourish as an individual player.

I don't get why people are proxy sympathy farming for Bronny and his heart condition, to minimize the truth about his basketball ability. We have nearly 10 years of footage, observation, and data to analyze Bronny's skill, and if you were honest and not some LeBron-sexual fan, it was obvious that Bronny WAS NOT THAT GOOD. Is he capable on the court? Sure, as a star on the local YMCA team, but he's never shown anything that would suggest he's NBA material. All you have to do is look at history, and history shows that sons of an All-Time Great (MJ, Magic, LeBron, etc) are never anywhere close to as good as their father. Whether it is a life of comfort, lack of struggle, lack of gifts, lack of grit, effort or determination; it doesn't matter really which combination of those factors, the clear observation that the kid won't be that good. You have Kobe and Steph Curry who had NBA dads that are turning out to be All-Time Greats, but the point is their fathers Joe Bryant and Dell Curry were not All-Time Greats, they were mediocre. I have always judged Bronny based on observation, and the facts about history, and I've been proven right since the day Bronny stepped on the court (he's been in the public eye for almost a decade now, plenty of evidence and footage). Do people even realize how hyped LeBron was pre-NBA? Mega-hyped, but the key point was he routinely touring the country destroying people and imposing his will on the court...we haven't seen ANY sign of this from Bronny.

I live near Sierra Canyon. I saw LeBron the day before the @Celtics game in Chatsworth in a Maybach SUV coming towards me at a light.

He’s going to go un-drafted

I think bronny is really good, but he lacks the confidence and aggressiveness, if he stays in college one more year he will make a huge jump

He should aim for a Josh Hart kinda role, I could maybe see that

Bronny James isn't a top 100" Potential player to be in the NBA.. Just because of his Dad LeBron James is already in the NBA League."

Raleigh Simmons coached by Fred Tex Winter. He can come into the NBA right now and Learn there. The court in college is to SMALL for Bronny. He will excel to excellence in the NBA and we will see Bron‘s growth quickly right before our eyes if he stays healthy he’ll be a superstar.

The problem is with USC they have too many guards in front of him he not going to get many minutes. That and with the heart issues they obviously are limiting his minutes. I agree with a couple of people Bronny should just stay in school for one more year and show his value as a nice 3 and D player once he gets some actual minutes

Bro shouldve played football

i’m with him staying in school, he a good kid and has a great family. I wished he picked Arizona Wildcats…

Anyone else here after he declared for the draft?

LeFlop is gonna be sad when LeSon doesnt get drafted

He needs a season or two before being drafted but they'll rush him for lebron

No professional sports team in the west will recruit a player with a heat problem. He might be able to play in China. For his size, the amount of great coaching he got from his dad, brushing all of fame NBA stars all his life, he's not a good player. Just your average dude playing at the gym. Nothing more. You'd think that with all that he'd be better. There were so many great better players than Brony who played in college that were never drafted.

Bronny should have red shirted his first year and worked on his point guard skills. Bronny is not a 2 guard. Truth be said, "Bronny sucks."

How bad is this RU-vidr really? Let’s analyze below…

If he ends up being undrafted, I'd like the Raptors to give him a chance, he can turn into a 3&D player and in Canada he'll have less attention than in the US so he might develop easier

Well, there's a reason why he's at SC and not Duke

I thought this might be the case superstars and their children usually never live up to the hype the media paints.

The man is risking his life to play a game he’s mid at why?

Would it make sense for him to go back to school another year?

This young man has so much pressure on him. With LeBron as a father we expect alot from him. If he just makes it to the NBA I'm happy

I would draft bronny simply to get his dad on my team. He is my 12 man on the team, almost to never play in a game unless we up bog or down big.

Unpopular opinion, but I think training kids in sports before pre-teen age is generally a bad idea. It gets them deeply ingrained in one dimensional thinking, bad habits, and inability to adapt and develop. As someone who does mma, I see this a lot with my friends and acquaintances. The ones who have been doing it since they were small children end up getting destroyed by the ones who came into it as pre-teens or teens with 2 or 3 years of experience.

please Detroit Pick this guy... if you want your team to be relevant, draft this kid and you will have LBJ instantly 😂😂😂

Maybe Step Curry could be the one to break the trend?

bruh i don’t need a whole biography on bronny , im here for basketball analysis

Dude should try to be a traditional pg

i may agree wid u, i guess it would b best for Lebrons sake and Bronnys career he may accept it now the harsh truth that if ever he declares for d draft he would only get drafted coz of LBJs ultimatum

he's on tremendous pressure right now from media, friends and family. i hope all the best for the dude

If Bronny stays all four years at USC and improves his game, he might have a much better chance of getting drafted. But the problem with that is, Lebron is pushing him to enter this year so that he can play with his son. Lakers might just sign him as a rookie free agent after the draft, cuz he ain't gettin' drafted this year.

People forget he had a cardiac arrest

He's so bad he might not even be good enough to play in Shanghai

I love how everyone glosses over all the young healthy athletes going through "cardiac arrests." Classic 1984

He needs to talk to a sports psychologist. He's got skills his confidence just crumbled after the heart incident.

He’s only 18 calm down

Averaged 9 pts 3 rebounds and 3 assists and was a projected 2nd round pick 😂😂. Then Lebron has the nerve to talk about "white privelage". Naw Bron privelage isn't black or white it's green and you're son is the face of it

The TRUTH is dude is NOWHERE near NBA level he's not even the best Freshman on the team. If his last name wasn't James he would never see the league. Hell I'm not sure he would of made it to USC if not for his Dad. He has a average game but he really isn't anything special

He is actually a rookie who has a seizure in the offseason didn’t get a chance to play or practice off season, so it didn’t start the way he wanted and confidence was lost, which is more important than talent in basketball if you ever played. He still got the talent just got to get the confidence back that needs to be the focus. Kind of hard if he’s reading junk like this. I would just shut down all social media next year and focus on the game

He actually isn't that bad hes a pretty good player

Master p son is the truth

Social Media can help make him look better than he actually is just like his father…

Never heard Jordan say Marcus or Jeffery were better than 90% of the players in the NBA. LeBron is not doing him any favors by running his mouth.
