That’s why ESPN got these no names to speak on this cause I bet no one else wanted to say this bs wether it’s true or not
Facts lol 😂 🤣🤣🤣

Yo ESPN you all are losing viewers. Stop posting crap each day. Actually talk about players that can hoop not a g leaguer
Actually they do talk about athletes but YOU keep clicking on Bronny videos and commenting on them because you are interested. Now your Algorithm is filled with Bronny😂 Same with the 20 people who liked your comment
gleaguers can hoop bro..
ESPN 🤝 Milking anything that has to do with LeBron
You guys are so pathetic that I KNOW FOR A FACT you are going to cover LeBron like an active superstar athlete when he is knee deep in retirement.
That’s exactly what Stephen A Smith & Skip Bayless does & still do with Micheal Jordan since his retirement. What’s the problem?

This is unbelievable! How can someone be carrying water this much for nepotism? Bringing up rubbish analogies and talking points. This is crazy!
What is the issue? Players get traded for second round draft picks all the time -- lebron's price for resigning was the 55th pick + max deal, thats perfectly reasonable.
@@odin3158 maybe the issue is that zombies like you don't care, that a kid out there grew up in poverty worked hard to have a chance at his dream and it was taken away.
@@flynngoodwo Except it wasn't. Late second round contracts are non guaranteed which is why it is technically worse than being undrafted. Hence players (i.e. austin reaves, declined to be drafted by pistons at #42) who could've been drafted in the late second round prefer to be undrafted so that they can choose their team freely. That 'kid which grew up in poverty' can sign with the lakers g-league affiliate just as bronny james.

Actually he's a sorry nepo baby...
Vehemently disagree with this. Getting help from my parents would be completely different from them influencing me into a job. No way.
And it’s a gross mischaracterization to say that most people would want nepotism. Especially as parents.
It’s not about your kids happiness. It’s about the lessons nepotism demonstrate to them going into adulthood. On some level it’s confirmed that “if I really want something, my name can get me in”.
And the argument that nepotism is everywhere isn’t the issue that, I’m at least, disagreeing with. It’s true.
Doesn’t make it right though. And to say that nepotism isn’t wrong and just shrug it off is a HUGE value problem.
My issue with these networks is that instead of calling it for what it is, they're using side narratives to absolve themselves from admitting it.
The whole _nepotism is everywhere_ is just stating the obvious. If it's that obvious, then why is it so difficult to admit it?!
And the idea that "nepotism is good" is 🐂💩. It's only "good" until you become a victim of it.
Like it’s wild that this young man really can’t play, his hs numbers weren’t good, he wasn’t good at USC, and he’s not good as a pro. Yet people are too scared of Lebron to criticize him.
Elle Duncan: Nepotism is wrong regardless of who is doing it or the number of people doing it. Stop it, get help
dang, all these media jokers are scared for their jobs and losing revenue from being shunned by lbj and klutch.
Sure let's just ignore how there's thousands of other people that actually worked for and deserved that spot.
Bronny could be the superstar the WNBA has needed for decades.
I don't care if I can't name the person that would've had a shot at the Lakers. You know full well Bronny did not DESERVE anything that was just handed to him. You guys are full of it.
I’d also like to say I personally believe she made that up about someone telling her she’ll never do anything important again
ESPN don’t disappoint. Not even 6:30am and bronny posts from them already up. This is the network that fired max and kept big stutter perk.

This really sucks. I grew up in the 80s and the 90s. I watched SportsCenter religiously as a kid, and as a teenager. When I got in my 20s, I was working, but there was a show, I’d make sure to record or try to watch every day and that was PTI. It was two guys talking about and arguing sport topics. But that show was truly the downfall of ESPN, because now that’s all they do. I get that a format like SportsCenter wouldn’t work anymore, but they have a bunch of women activist, talking sports and telling me how I should think, I just can’t do it.
I feel this been watching ESPN since the days where you had to grab a newspaper on Monday morning to get your fantasy football stats and they were once a great source of sports information. When their website started putting too much content behind a paywall I drifted away but still checked their TV content and youtube but at this point I keep this feed on my scroll for laughs mostly
ESPN... Bronny is living rent free here. I would think even LeBron at this point would be shaking his head wondering how the most recognized name in sports media is spending so much energy on a late 2nd round pick when there are actual ballers and other sports to cover
Its ok for his daddy. Yet its not ok for laker fans who want championships. Its not ok for the integrity of the brand or league.
Any other kid with the same heart issue would be on the don’t draft list. He should have stayed in school, got better and create a basketball resume so no one can say you were just handed a spot.
Let’s be real, dude should of been an udfa not a 2nd rounder taking from someone’s who’s deserving
Being a nepo for a executive position is different than a position on the basketball court
Yall can justify all you want. He's not an NBA caliber basketball player. So, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the carnage. Lebron will get his vanity moment of "playing with his son." Yall will act like its some historical moment.....Its not....its a bad Hollywood script for an unwatchable Disney movie. My enjoyment comes from watching the Lakers implode into mediocrity
The difference is, most beneficiaries of nepotism are actually good at their jobs and prove that they belong where they are at. Bronny James is a terrible basketball player, he does NOT belong where he is at.
We literally have NON ATHLETE UA-camRS AS REAL ESPN MEDIA ANALYST... 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 ESPN IS NOT SPORTS PROFESIONAL! ITS A SCRIPTED LEBRON SHOW AND THE WORLD KNOWS IT AND THE WORLD IS SICK OF IT
its not unfair we were clearly stating that hes not ready at all. Period!!! nepotism is what we want you guys to admit and quit acting like he can play in the league and promoting him as if he is a 1st round pick.
Why are people comparing competitive sports to life. In sports we want to see the best of the best . We know he's not. And PG at 6'1 isn't a project
No one care if he LeBron son but he's is not even good enough at his position. He wasn't good enough in college and he has to actually produce on the court. All the politics don't really matter can he play.. and the answers is NO!! Emphatically
Bro really said hawk tuah. I like that guy.

Bronny is pure mediocre. He couldn't start at UF. That's the Gators....he couldn't be our starting 1 or 2 period.
Why is Bronny getting more coverage than the top 3 picks?
Its clear that Non sports players take on competitive sports.... don't call it competitive sports anymore
Nepotism I can see it a family business. This is the NBA!
Lakers want to waste a late round pick? They want to give him a big contract (for his draft position)? I don't care. But ESPN acting like he's a top prospect is ridiculous. Disrespecting all the top picks that earned media attention and are getting nothing.
Murder is rampant around the world, but that doesn’t make it OK. Also, we all know that we are going to hear how great of an accomplishment it is that both of them are on a basketball court, when we all know the truth. This is beyond manufactured and the public can’t stand it. What makes it even worse is, you have some middle-aged ESPN activist telling me how to think.
Standing at Nepo Guard BRONNY JAMES🤪
This was one-sided. Let's talk about all the players drafted after Bronny is actually better than him. Where was USC best player drafted?
If he was to carve his own path he’d be in the G league or back to college. This is just nepotism and only in the NBA because of his last name.
Caitlan Clark would destroy my little ponie 1v1. V😂
So we shouldn't cry about White Privilege then lol
That guy implying somehow Jordan’s kids got an opportunity in basketball through him. No they didn’t. One son was an OK mid tier at major/mid-major and never sniffed the NBA. I’m sure their Dad could’ve something but he didn’t.
This isn’t a door being opened, or a little push being given…
Y’all strapped him to a rocket and blasted him through those doors, walls, windows, and any other obstacle that may have been I his path

The espn personalities are all afraid of Lebron. Even the big names. We don’t know who these people are….but the big name basketball personalities….they’re all afraid to say anything negative about the situation. Trust me.
NO👏BODY👏CARES👏
Facts are facts Bronny was not worthy of a 2nd round pick. Nothing he did in college, heart issue or not, merited a second round pick. He could have just gotten a free agent try out. Instead he was given an 8 million dollar guaranteed contract. No 55th pick gets a guaranteed contract. That's what wasn't earned and that's the kind of thing that gives nepotism a bad name.
These titles with .... "And that's okay". Are horrible.
Bronny James is a Nepo Baby …And That’s Okay. That was the original title before it was changed. Elle is such a DUMB DUMB for this kind of take.
If the league turns on the magnets for Bron-Bron then the haters will have no reason to complain.
This kid gonna be the best 55th pick of all time for sure
Nobody wants to keep it real he don deserve the spot some of his usc teammates that put numbers up that didn’t get drafted deserves that 55th spot tf that’s woulda been my answer if I was that Phili fan
Racism is “not unique”. But people will eventually speak out against it I hope without fear they will be embarrassed because racism isn’t new, or we didn’t complain is out it yesterday. Poor argument.
If we could only get passed the name part 😂
Talk about delusional
This felt very disingenuous
“ Not unique”doesn’t mean it’s cool
Doesn't matter at this point the NBA is a meme league.
why should a 19 year old who averages 4 points in college not deserve a 7 million dollar contract ? He might average a tripple doulbe in the NBA : 2-2-2.
How much is klutch paying yall lol
& it’s ok that I root against him every chance I get. 😂
Espn works for Klutch
Funny how no one said that about Bill Waltons son when they made him the coach of the Lakers.
Maybe cause that wasn't nepotism egg brain
Walton played for the franchise. They didn’t hire him because he was bill Walton’s son. He also was an assistant head coach with the warriors.
Because he coached the warriors for 50 games the previous season .
The situation is he doesn’t belong in the NBA let’s be honest. But defend your lack of integrity
Stephen a, the face of espn used to say and believe whole heartedly that the best thing about sports is that they are a true ecosystem for a meritocracy. Now espn is all, merit, who cares?
She’s wrong Gary is right
Nepo baby . . . 😂
Hmmm - I 100% don’t even understand the “half the man your mom” is joke…that one didn’t hit Elle.
Top tier content right here
Not being a hater , I like his game. But the reason Bronny doesn't play like his daddy is because LeBron came from nothing. LeBron was more hungry for it.
Society was built on nepotism. Probably why Society hasn't reached its full potential, but hey...
at least we get to witness a funny one. Hes just had a heart attack, hes too short and he has a 4pt avg 😂😂😂😂 keep wishing lebron u egomaniac
Who are you to tell me what it is?
Is this a case of nepotism? Absolutely.
But aquiring Bronny James was not about nepotism (ultimately), it was about business.
Lebron on the Lakers sells and brings in $$$ for the organization. So keeping Lebron happy is key to the Lakers, and aquiring Bronny is a result of that - just like any other perks or incentives the Lakers throw LeBron's way.
So once again, I think people should stop focusing so heavily on the nepotism aspect and just accept that this just business being done.
This aint about business
@@nonamewillbegiven appreciate your reply. Please feel free to elaborate so I can understand your take.
Lebron is already super wealthy ..... the fact that his son is taking up a roster spot that could of change the lives of somebody else family is ridiculous........ especially in a predominantly black sport such as the nba
u got dudes like, shaq, dwade and even MJ who kids didnt make it into the nba, even though they also had the power to what lebron did.....
Im cool for nepotism as long as it makes sense... clearly this dream is more of lebron than it is his son and it seems like the media such as espn is setting the kid up for failure.......
WHY IS THIS ON ESPN?! NOBODY CARES!
All the hatred people got for Bronny are the people that WISH it were LeBron. They had to go through 20+ years of disappointment from Bron beating on their teams now they’re gonna take their anger out on his son

It's hardly suprising how much hate Bronny is receiving. His dad decimated whole franchises for over a decade while nit shutting up and dribbling when it came to social justice. People either really love or really hate him and that has made him easily the biggest draw in the NBA. Drafting NBA players is typically based on projected ability and college performance ( potential can outweigh college performance like it did for Bennet oa d slightly less fir Oden when he was drafted ahead of KD despite his awesomenumbers at Texas his fresan year). Bronny killed it at the combine and yet didn't make it in the 1st round (which makes sense base on his college performance and potential). His delusional detectors re acting like he was lucky to get drafted the 55th Pic without looking as his physically attributes recorded at the combine and his dedication to the game...disgusting.
This is sad!!!!
I just hope he has his own lane they really rushed this kid u can tell his dad put some big paper up to have him there in la
Most fans know that Bronny is a diamond in the rough and wasn't drafted to be in the starting lineup immediately. The crybaby hater comments are a small whiny minority.

still must have Talent- And Bronny does-
No, that’s the problem. He averaged four points on a team that didn’t even make it to the NIT. He is a 6 foot 1 shooting guard who can’t shoot, who has a heart problem, that can’t play defense. And that’s the man who gets the guarantee contract.
