Not really "hyped". Theres just more buzz. Theres plenty of hype on Sarr, Dillingham, Buzlis, Knecht, etc. because of what they can bring to the table but people are more invested in the bronny story.
By end of season or around the allstar break when theres lots of injuries and teams are resting players, Bronny will see limited mins. And when he does they will sub Lebron in for the moment. Meaning, most likely, Bronnys first game will be a home game in February.
Am I overthinking it that this should be considered tampering. If LA wanted to guarantee him take him at 17. They drafted Knecht at 17 knowing Rich Paul was telling every other team that if they take him then he's going to Australia. So the Lakers could operate knowing its guaranteed they're the only team that can draft him.
Some of yall want to clown the pick when the same folks would literally do the same thing if ur son or daughter was in that same situation it’s a shame
The problem is not lebron wanting his son get drafted by lakers. It is the willingness of the ownership to actually give in to a players power move. Pretty much a clear indication of who actually runs the lakers. The late jerry buss would never let this happen. A once proud franchise is now turned into a glorified AAU team owned by klutch sports. Jennie Buss getting run over easily by a 40 year old player who only brought 1 ring, 3 playins and a token banner in his stint so far. And btw, MJ didnt use his status to have his sons play in the league.
@@flawlezzgenocidewell mjs kids were hot ass, bronny is actually decent, and it’s a 55th overall pick, if anything it’s insurance for lebron to stick around long term in la but you love to hate
I feel like the main thing from this which no one is talking about is that it’s a good thing he’s not a #1 pick or potential all NBA / MVP player.. Like even his biggest haters know his ceiling & that he’s not going to be great or expected to be. That’s huge. I couldn’t even imagine the next 10-15 years if he was to be a star: Would be lebron hate & expectations all over again.
I think Bronnys development is gonna come a lot quicker than people think. He’s the son of a billionaire, he could have been a bum his whole life but chose to work his ass off. Don’t think the kids ever gonna be a superstar but he’s got a real chance to be a Marcus Smart KCP type player.
I’m so proud of Bronny James and his son both being selected at 55 and Bronny getting to play with his dad and Bronnys son gets to play with his dad and grandpa 😂
Definitely isn’t ready for big minutes but DEFINITELY should NOT go to the G-League - he needs to stay under the watchful eye of his pops who will get every ounce of talent out of Bronny💯
Im so sick of hearing about this it's getting old I'm happy I'm a huge laker fan but I'm just tired of hearing about it there blowing it way out of proportion
Bronny at 55 aint that bad. Very low risk since no one really blooms into a superstar at that point EXCEPT Jokic. Y'all can just pick anybody during the 2nd Round and it won't really matter as they would prolly be a cheerleader on the court.
Somethin bout this feels nasty. Can someone even convince me he would be drafted same spot if LeBron wasn’t there ? Or we just all accepting that that’s the only reason. I would be embarrassed if I were bronny cause his dad is 100% gonna be better than him even as an old man. Lmao
Even you admit about the weirdness of the rich statement. Like if any other player of his draft calibers camp made this statement, they wouldnt be drafted anyways. That alone shows collusion. Lebron is the most talented person to ever toucha basketball, but he also has destroyed the nba’s credibility. Much similar to a tom brady.
