The highly paid ringmaster with his past and lack of experience you really see now he’s a sidekick not a coach!! Arrogant just like Lebron,poor Bronny 😮😢🤡
As a Laker fan it's sad to see that even Magic is on this bs. This organization has become a clownshow just to appease a 39 year old. Jeannie Buss has thrown the legacy of her dad down the drain.
The legacy the Lakers had with Magic Johnson, Kareem, Shaq, and Kobe has gone down the drain in the six years of LeBron has been there. And the sad thing about it is that it just keeps getting worse. Now with a rookie coach who has never coached a day in his life and now with Bronny James, who they brought in to make this all a fairytale story with her son playing with his dad.
@@brianharron3435 The dum LeBron fan showing up. Kobe got us 5 championships and would've gotten us more or at least making deep runs into the po's if Jim Buss would've gotten an AD caliber player like Rob got LeBron.
This entire crew/entourage think that they are the smartest folks in the room (Bron, JJ, Draymond, Rich Paul…) but they are always blatantly insulting the intelligence of the game’s fanbase. They expect us to believe that Bron and JJ never discussed the Lakers’ coaching job? They say some of the most outrageous smack and expect everyone to roll with it.
I think the thing that bothers most of us is the disingenuousness of just about everything Lebron and his brand does. This is no different. No ones knocking the dream of getting to do something with your family. I was happy when me and my brother ended up in the same spanish class together in school but this is different. A lot strings and things being pulled behind the scenes to make that move happen and the "I had nothing to do with it" lies that went along with it makes it worse. Like "Klutch, we're not dumb. We see whats goin on guys."
@@thareelhelloagain so why yall so fixated on bronny and not the others? Be in yall feelings about all of them .. not just one 🤷🏾♂️ yall wouldn’t even be talking about this if it wasn’t bronny. Which is call selective outrage.. the other kid went first round.
All I can say is at least Caitlyn Clark actually earned her respect for her Basketball skills. Unlike Bronny this Kid has not earned anything except for being the Son of LeBron James.
@@chuckknight7874 Absolutely 💯 number one pick!! I may not care for her fans and people acting like she’s the first!! But she certainly earned it unlike this circus 🎪
JJ Redick has the demeanor of a spineless brat. If a man who doesn't care about tomorrow behaves like that, it means that the Lakers have no chance. A team of losers.
You can't make this shit up. As a Laker fan I have no retorts to the pile of shit that is spewing from the mouths of Rob Pelinka and JJ the past few weeks.
And think about how many fortune 500 companies in America promote white family members all the time and would never name Bronny CEO or executive. Stop crying about this
Umm to play basketball in the NBL. You do know that they play sports in Australia right? Lamelo Ball, Alex Saar, Josh Giddey, Cam Oliver and AJ Johnson all played in Australia before going to the draft.
I hope Bronny isn't like LeBron and believe all the fairy tales people are saying about him being true. Lebron eats up all the lies as if they're true.
i honestly don't think bronny knows and understands what's going on as crazy as that sounds. i think he's being told what to do and told what's happening is the norm, example working out for 2 teams is normal, example the 55th pick getting a guaranteed contract is normal
I've been a Laker fan since Wilt and Jerry West. When Lebron signed on I signed off. I had a strong feeling in the Bullshit that we've since experienced. The Australia remark is hilarious. What was he going to do, Swim, fish or what? Can you imagine Rich Paul calling teams telling them not to Draft Bronny 😮😊😅😢😂. I would love to have heard the response "uh well, we had no plans on drafting him" or " what, oh you're serious "
The problem with all this, and this is what I’m afraid of I have a feeling that they’re gonna rig the playoffs in the finals just for the Lakers to win, and it becomes a fairytale story where father and son won a championship together. The draft was rigged in order for Bronny to end up with the Lakers, how is it that he ended up jumping all the way to the 55th pick which is exactly what the Lakers had. Of course it was rigged everything LeBron and clutch sports touch becomes shit, but I just feel that the playoffs and finals are gonna be rigged. I wouldn’t put it past them cause we know Adam silver is in LeBron’s pocket as well
How can he say Bronny earned his spot when they haven't had one single practice one single game his college career was trash his AAU years was trash so how in the hell did he earn it what did he showcase to earn that spot
JJ is lying out of his ass… but what is he supposed to say? If we’re being honest, a 50+ second round pick is almost worthless. Yes I know there have been all stars picked that late, but usually a meaningless pick. The Lakers used theirs to get multiple things that they value: Another record book entry for Lebron Media attention People talking about their organization Keeping their “star” happy (We all know that team wouldn’t even make the playoffs without Anthony Davis) More than you usually get from a late second round pick. P.S. I can’t stand Lebron
That’s called “setting the table”, setting expectations of what he’s gonna do. Politician and Lebron crony first, coach second. A real coach would want hundreds of different players than Bronny, on the most elite rosters in sport. Not many players on a Basketball team. There’s tons of hungry guys wanting that spot and grinding their brains out
Remember THIS moment when the other 12 players out of the 15 look at this coach sideways and he is fired in 1 to 2 years. Only way id take the Lakers job is total roster control and no LBJ.
Max Christie worked hard for 2 years on the South Bay G-League team, before making the Lakers rotation. Bronny gets that same rotation spot, because new coach Redick called him an excellent NBA player.
Do we expect the head coach to come out and say “yo we drafted this dude for nepotism and being special, he’s actually garbage and we won’t be winning a championship any time soon”?? Of course he defended bronny lol
Magic's 1st comment was about marketing. Lakers GM 1st comment was about history! JJ comment was he earned it. How? Hard work? That's it? For "NOBODY " in the Lakers org not to mention winning the Chip...sad decline. According to JJs list of Must Haves & Bronny's output last year, the top 2 teams at the Rucker should be on an NBA team! IJS
Tbh, how he SHOULD HAVE approached that question was simply this... " Before his hospitalization, In his final season of high school basketball, Bronny broke out, averaging 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game" And THEN... Proceeded to say what he said about his passing, shooting, etc. He could've gone on to compare this to Lebron or other players being drafted out of high school, etc., how its in a way similar since he was still recouping last season from his surgery, making a better point of argument in their decision to select Bronny. MJ is without question the greatest Individual NBA Player of All Time, FYI. IMO (so you know I have no bias)
JJ making that commet let's you know he doesn't even believe that. When they drafted MJ, Jordan, Ball brothers did anyone have to defend them and say that. No, because it's universally understood.....
@robowenmikels except the knicks have been better than the lakers for a couple years now, and this year... forget about it. the knicks have the worst owner in sports, but he has finally decided to let the people that know what they are doing, do their job. can't even say that much for the fakers, ownership AND the front office are a joke. knicks: chemistry. fakers: chemicals.
The only way this is going to work is if Lebron and Bronny wins a title together. Anything less than that is a failure. But there going to be a bubble team again if not miss the playoffs.
The funniest part is nowhere in the press conference from start to finish. Not 1 reprorter made the statement or asked JJ any type of question about Bronny
A family business (buzz family) based on a competitive NBA sport. What happens if you remove the competitive part from that equation? a family business now based on a family show (the James). As a follower of the NBA for 3 decades, I never thought I would see something like this. cheers
Let’s be real here , anyone who is STUNNED is the one being WHACKY !!! At a press conference introducing a player who you drafted, what was he supposed to say? ….We only drafted the kid , because of his father …Hate it or not be for real on what you expect any Laker employee to say publicly 🖖🏾
he didn't have to say anything along those lines. could've said something like: we're thrilled to have bronny on the roster and give lebron the opportunity to fulfill his dream.
That's still a low bar shot that someone who deserved it won't get. A draft pick can be a life changing opportunity no matter what pick it is, especially with a fully guaranteed contract, which he would not have gotten either otherwise.
What hard work mf? And he talks about his hard work let me tell my job you don't have to see my work just take my word for it...BS...IT WAS GIVEN NOT EARNED
So, if another team had drafted Bronny (fat chance), he was gonna go to Australia?! Of course, we all heard the commotion, as SO MANY Australian teams were climbing all over each other, trying to acquire Bronny James! And, what was that going to prove, anyway...that Bronny isn't skilled enough to make it in Australian-league basketball, either?!
"Bronny" Sounds like a product to clean my bathroom floor. Sick of it already. This must be the "Pre-season Lie cycle" leading up to the full season "Crock O' Shit" Let's find out if Barnum & Bailey has any relatives. Maybe they can buy this circus act and go on tour, get em the f**K out league.
The LeClown defenders can't get their BS excuses in order. Either Bronny earned it (LMAO) or it's nepotism but nepotism is OK because other people do it. So which is it? It can't be both. They're like little kids trying to lie to get out of trouble, just saying whatever sounds good in the moment regardless of if it makes sense or not.
The problem is how disingenuous all these analysts and Laker fans are being. Straight up lying! I would respect it more if they just said we drafted him so LBJ can make history by playing with his son. But no, they want to act like it’s not what it is…🤦🏽♀️
Bronny has had every possible advantage his entire life on the basketball court. Every opportunity a young player could possibly have to become better… and he wasnt even good enough to be a starter on a bad college team. This idea that “player development” is going to make some drastic improvement to Bronny is ridiculous because he is literally case study #1 for a player that is maximizing his ability already. He has been involved with player development for the past 15 years.
Crazy how the 2nd round pick "earned" a four year contract before the 1st round pick who's absolutely better in every category. But sure, he "earned" it alright. 🤔
Show tha Highlights of his College games !!Show us how He earned it !! He said he didn’t get tha opportunity to show wut he cud do in College!! A 3rd string Guard !! U wuznt ready it showed in practice u wuznt ready for College Ball !!
I’m honestly surprised that JJ took this job. I just don’t understand how it could work out well. Maybe if they try building a team properly, in four or five years he could be coaching a really good team but it’s hard to see that happening with LeBron on the team only really caring about playing with his son:
I feel for Bronny because he's surrounded by a narcissistic father and his sycophants and acolytes. The kid hasn't said anything in this circus. He could act like a dick but so far he's been carrying himself well, given the pressure on him. The hate is tremendous because of the antics of his father and the Lakers. Everyone wants him to fail. The world is sneering. He probably knows he isn't an NBA star level talent. Yet he's just cool af and taking this all in his stride while the adults making fools of themselves.
Rob Pelinka is right the Lakers have a story. A father and son played together while the team misses the playoffs or gets bounced in the play-in round. JJ is a Klutch Sports jock boy so he has to state the Klutch Sports narrative.
I feel bad for the other rookie they signed, that did “earn” it, and all the shows don’t say anything about him signing his contract. Just Bronny and Lebron. I am sick of them, JJ and Pelinka. Please Lebron, retire and go the hell away! The Lakers are a joke!
Oh well get over it, it is what it is. Lebron and high profile players getting what they want is nothing new, although with Lebron it's quite ridiculous🤦. Regardless the Lakers will be the most talked about and followed team in league next season. Just look at all the coverage they're getting in the off season now. Whether you hate or love this, we'll all be watching so from a PR standpoint it's all W's from a Lakers standpoint. Either way they have made next season interesting.
Bronny is delusional, he doesn’t know what he’s in for , as being a Los Angeles Laker, and the pressure and criticism he will be facing from Laker Nation and other NBA critics, expectations are at the highest level, ask Danny Green, who missed a three point shot during the finals, from a pass giving too him by his Dad, LeBron, and got Death threats, too him and his girlfriend, hope your Dad doesn’t pass the ball too you for the last shot, good luck with that
