They drafted Dalton Knecht too at 17! Put some respect on his name!
He better show up
Guys like Stephen A Smith put out a narrative an when they get backlash they triple down on their words an instead of sounding smart sounds like Skip..
He was talked about in this very segment. Clean your ears properly.
Check back in 3 years to see if he deserves respect.
Nah we ain’t putting respect on robs name he’s a fraud
Its crazy bronny didn't attend the draft but was watching at home so he heard all the critics talk shht about him in front of his whole family and lebron
He’s a strong kid. All the expectations, all the criticism, but he comes from LeBron James and that man has taken the most criticism ever.
His father is Lebron James, he has seen plenty of buffoonery & nonsense all his life from simple-minded haters
Because the criticism only started last night.
Where do you think he is? Something they haven't reported on
at this point Lakers fan should do like Europe fans does. go in front of the staples center and ask for Rob Pelinka To step down. and ask for Lebron to leave the Team 😅
THE TITLE INCLUDING BRONNY BUT NOT KNECHT IS WILD🤣🤣🤣
Congrats LeESPN
Brah he had his own segment they talked about him on a separate video relax
shutup
You Espn bouta post 50 lakers segments throughout the day now lol
Not even a top 5 team in the league, shits hilarious 😂
@@shiningwizard202Not even a top 10 team
They are a huge part of the problem when it comes to NBA Sports Media. They talk about Lakers so much
@@JHPG5 honestly you’re right 😂😂😂
N u gonna watch AND comment on each one
If they can develop bronny he could be a future 10th-12th man
Or a 9th man
@@itamahokosun5482 nah that's too high of a ceiling
Nba youtube scout
G league at best
5 point average. I had a 6 point average. Wow. I could have been in the NBA. 😢
Feels like Spurs trading Dillingham for a bag of chips should be a bigger story
The package is a bag of chips right now, but in 2031 that unprotected Minny pick could be filet mignon. No one knows what Minny will look like in 7 years. If they werent sold on Dillingham (which obviously they werent), it was a prudent move to kick the can down the road
@@Reaper13-hi3yo for sure, I’m just kind of surprised by it. Dillingham seems like a great fit to grow next to Wemby. If we learned anything from this season, he needs a solid facilitator who is a scoring threat. Dillingham seemed to fit that mold. Unless they have a deal they know is coming up, feels like the wrong call. Was hoping they’d discuss the details but I should’ve known better 😂
@@genghiskhan802 bro what 😂😂😂
he's a overgloified bones hyland all that baby kyrie ish is foolish
@@Reaper13-hi3yo Its just kind of wild for a rebuilding team to trade a lottery pick for one 8 years in the future.
Lakers need 2 bigs to rebound and play defense, move AD back to the 4
And bron to the 3.
‘I’m not a fan of people who aren’t consistent’ - Stephan A - Proceeds to talk about Bronny James until the end of time
DLO MUST GO!!!
D Lo must stay… they need the outside shooting, they need the playmaking, he’s absolutely a great player he was just being ran by a horrible coach in Darvin Ham. Putting no confidence in him, having him come off off ball screens, dishing him into the corner to just sit there. D’Angelo Russell has to have the ball in his hand, he hast to get in rhythm, he hast to push the tempo. Darvin ham was not doing any of these things
Nah dlo only really show up 1/3 times throughout the playoffs. Bro is unreliable
D-Lo better than Bronny
@@stephenwalker972 go back and watch those playoff games it’s because Darvin ham has this man coming off off ball screens to do catch and shoots, and he has him sitting in the corner, and not playing to D’Angelo Russell strength. Then he put no confidence in him and benches him, then when he needs three-pointers he brings dlo off the bench and expects him to just knock down three-pointers. It’s because of the coach and how he was running D’Angelo Russell. DLo is absolutely necessary… but he needs the ball in his hand, he needs fast pace offense and push the tempo, he needs to get rhythm, pick and rolls , penetrating, dish outs this is where you see the best D’Angelo Russell.
Who is going to take him?
LeBron came to the Lakers and made them a clown show. 😂
Dude there were a clown show even in Kobe’s last 2 years on that team. I’m a lakers fan, I’ve been through it. They missed the playoffs for like 7 straight seasons.
Got a 🏆
at this point Lakers fan should do like Europe fans does. go in front of the staples center and ask for Rob Pelinka To step down. and ask for Lebron to leave the Team 😅
And now they have a coach that likes using racial slurs like ....
N word, C word, S word, and I'm sure he has others. LeBalco and his Red.... 😂
Right 😅😂
Jason Williams looks like Dave Chappelle when he played Tiger Woods
sorry to be that guy but it's Jay Williams. Jason Williams is a white PG (white chocolate) who would absolutely cook Jay.
Boy the hate they have for all point guards that play along LeBron 😂
Dalton Knecht Is A Great Fit For The Lakers 💜💛
So True - FACTS!
LeESPN still trying to gaslight people that a seventh seed was the second best team
I really believe they would beat anyone in the west besides Denver
Yea they would have came out west if could have gotten passed Denver
@@jmoney4220 So if that was the case, why didn't they have at least a top 5 record in the conference?
@@deionhampton1478 Must be nice to be easily gaslit. First Denver wasn't some juggernaut and I had them losing in the second round months before the playoffs started. But Lakers weren't beating any of the top 5 teams in the west and Phoenix is questionable
@@GodfreyTheCreator but you seen what happened T-wolves with Dallas and T-wolves swept phoenix. Come on now
Media lying like always. They didn't draft Bronny to get James back. James opted out to force them to draft Bronny. They know this
@@punch1420 That's exactly what I was thinking. James would have been signed if that wasn't the case. He had to opt out and just wait lol.
It's funny how you guys talk like you know whats really going on. Why wouldn't Lebron opt out of his last year so that he can sign a 3 year deal for more money. People hate bron so much that everything he does is sinister in your mind. Some say he is a coach killer when jordan and kobe had more coaches. smh...
Woke media is completely corrupt
@@rikogreen7596 don´t make sh*t up. Jordan had 4 head coaches, kobe had 10 and LBJ 9.
He always opts out. He just so happened to put pressure on his team that goes beyond being a better team.
To think Brian windhorst made it this far covering lebron james lol.
Kuz going back to LA makes a lot of sense
after being a laker fan since a kid this is the first time i can honestly say this organization has lost their mind ever since Lebron came unfortunately
I was a bit confused when they gave an aging Kobe a huge contract that didn't allow for the team to build after that. But this seems to top that today. Really disappointed in the Lakers right now
@@lav7161yall mad because they used a 2nd round pic on bronny😂who else was there who woulda made an impact?
You are such a casual don’t gaslight with that whole bs i was a fan since a kid. Tell me a single player at 55th pick for the last 10-20 years that you can think of but bronny is where you draw the line
at this point Lakers fan should do like Europe fans does. go in front of the staples center and ask for Rob Pelinka To step down. and ask for Lebron to leave the Team 😅
What is happening to this once great franchise that they’re the laughingstock of the league.
“but Bronny is coming back from Cardiac Arrest”
so did a guy named Keyontae Johnson, December 12th, 2020. before the incident, he averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist. after the incident he then averaged 17.4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists. granted he had a little more time but still, enough with the excuses.
Ufts
Is he related to LBJ?
at this point Lakers fan should do like Europe fans does. go in front of the staples center and ask for Rob Pelinka To step down. and ask for Lebron to leave the Team 😅
Is his father the goat?
That's a bit disingenuous. Johnson had more than a "little more time off." Johnson took more than a year off. I get what you're saying but Bronny "played" the same season when it occurred. Johnson had is cardiac arrest in December 2020 and he didn't played again until he transferred to Kansas State for the 2022-23 season.
Hiring your best players podcast host with no coaching experience and a drafting his son for the vibes is not what serious franchises do. Jeannie didn't get her fathers eye for the business. Put basketball people in place and get out of their way was his philosophy.
JJ has great basketball knowledge.. and one player Bronny won’t affect this time.. cuz Bronny will be barely getting playing time anyway.. I think they will be fine
Dr. Buss kept his players happy, and Jeanie's doing the same. Hush.
Hasn't even been one day and LeBron is already sleeping with his teammates mom😂
LeBron should know how that feels
D Lo needs to go back to being a pass first player like he was in college. He's waaaaaaaay more dangerous as that kind of player. The scoring will come, but if you can pass that rock, people will be more afraid
He’s the 2nd best passer on the team and the only player that went out of his way to feel AD the rock. As long as he’s playing next to Lebron, they need him to shoot it effectively because their best perimeter shooter.
@@artmessiah83 his passing will essentially free him up to shoot bro
@@Whyypreeeeeeeeee DLo is at his most dangerous with the ball in his hands (running the offense, playmaking for himself and others). When he’s next to Lebron, he’s downgraded to a catch and shoot guy.
In my opinion, he should opt out and play somewhere else.
This whole situation been planned for years.. Nike had an AD as soon as Bronny got drafted.. this definitely wasn’t an overnight thing
They should start father and son together with JJ's social media playbook so we can have an hour long of Shaqtin Fool episodes each week
JJ wasnt drawing up no plays for Bronny. XD
They need to get Dejounte Murray,KCP,Buddy Hield
Since when did the Lakers become Make a Wish..
when will mainstream media admit jeannie buss isnt a good owner
We have the most rings
@@kenny2553 Boston has the most at 18
@@kenny25531 title since 2010 your orginization stinks jeanie buss is a terrible owner only reasons they won in 2020 was kobes death and that they signed ad thats it nothing the front office did or ownership they wanted to team up with lebron
When she stops giving the best blowjobs any owner is pro sports history has ever given with the exception of Marge Schott.
@@southsidetonestill a lot tho.. points still stands I think lol
Boston just picked up a title. Meanwhile, the Lakers out here hiring LBJs podcast co-host to coach, and signing his underwhelming son in hopes he'll stay 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you can’t win championships I guess you have to make history other ways.
The Kardashians have a new rival 🔥🔥🔥
THE LOS ANGELES LAKERSHIANS
*Lakerdashians
😂
Why did it get dead silent when he said helicopter rides💀
Would love if we could get Kuz and keep Dlo somehow. As a diehard Laker I love the guys we draft and they’ll always hold a special place in my heart
Not gone line SAS killed me with saying rob needs to ACT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ESPN talks more about a 2nd round 55th pick then all of the top 10 picks combined.. no nepotism though 😂
I can't name 1 player drafted in the top 10 of what will go down as One of the worse drafts in NBA History!!
Maybe because they know what will get them ratings. Nobody is telling them to talk about Bronny.
Klutch OWNS ESPN.
A healthy Lebron and Davis again is far better then then what the organization is getting credit for. Especially if they find the proper replacement for no Show D'Angelo Russell.
Next step for jj is to give bronny as much playing time as possible, just as daddy intended from beginning
And I thought espn talks about the lakers so much this about to get out of hand
We need Jokic, Steph, and Ant. That'll take care of our biggest holes right now.
Lakers need a BIG so AD can play stretch 4 and Bron NEEDS to play the point guard
Imagine Bronny switching and guarding Wemby. Bruh
LeTampering BACK AT IT!!
What about Dalton Knecht?!?!? Potentially, the steal of the draft and probably the most NBA ready of all the guys that got drafted and ESPN chose to leave him out of this title and discussion?
I watched you in Chicago back in the days JWill...absolute beast 🔥 god bless 🫡
DOPE for James family!!💪🏿🙏🏿
Genuine question, how come lakers is always in trouble with the salary cap but the Clippers and Golden state are able to sign yet they are also have players on the max?
there's 30 nba teams, why are we talking about one team that's not even set to be competitive
🔥 Polinka!
When Windy talks, you listen. The best one by far in the ESPN circus.
That's BS, Windy is arrogant and no different than any other panelist on ESPN!!! Stop the propaganda PINKY.....
You’re joking?
People need to stop hating. This is a once in a lifetime thing that we get to see!
there's a lot of grown men mad that Bronny got into the league because of his dad “he ain't work for it” stop projecting your pain! Just cuz your dad ain't make it to a powerful position to help you doesn't mean you get to hate
Bro nobody cares about all of that he sucks and sports is the last thing we got left. Moves like this water the league down.
The only one projecting pain is you. Must be pretty sore stuck so far up a billionaires crack.
Sorry, not all of our dads made us toss their salad like your dad obviously did, bootlicker.
Finally, Max Christie won't be bored in the bench now that Bronny is there, he now have someone to communicate with 😅😅.
What's next is the play-in tournament and an early trip to cancun.
Helicopter rides 💀
Oh it is magical 🎉
Whats crazy to me is that people are this upset over the 55th pick but cant name 5 players from the top 25
Y’all beatin this bronny ish to death already lol they drafted knecht too lol 😂
Next step is a quick play in tournament exit
troll game weak
solid pick
ADs about to get sideopped 2:51
So history more important than the integrity of the game . 😂
next step, LeGM will recruit stars out of their prime, to come to LA. Hayward, Horford, Lopez (either of them), Cp3.
Lavar & Lonzo ball were the original father-son duo in the NBA. Although Lavar didnt play, he did score several points with his mouth!
what're you talking about Stephen A? D'Lo is super consistent. He chokes every single playoffs his entire career. That's very consistent.
Rich Paul GM of the lakers. Pelinka is special advisor to the owner at this point.
How Kurt Rambus still involved & in the Lakers staff room? Unbelievable
Then Penguin aka Brian is on point.
Besides bronny congratulations to him but congrats to all the guys who got drafted 1st and 2nd round great accomplishment
Why would the lakers even think about trading for Kuzma lol
What's "First" is for him to sit down and watch the FIRST ROUND PICK THEY TOOK
I remember the deal the Lakers gave Kobe at the end of his career was so criticized but this tops it by a mile. Lebron has total control.
What is so magical about a father & son being on the same team?
Magical???? SMDH
Bronny should try to make L.A. sparks of the WNBA and become a bench player if possible
LeSilverspoon heart is gonna explode when he actually has to work hard 😂😂😂😂😂
wow, all this Laker coverage is insane. As though the Celtics, Mavs etc don't exist.
Nah fr lol
Next steps for the Lakers...the play in tournament , if they win a first round exit. Redick gets fired in 2 years, LeBron holds them hostage til he retires. Bronny gets a max contract , LeBron finally retires and the Lakers turn into the Knicks for the next 25 years. Tell me it won't happen
TANK MODE is next.
Soooo there weren't any top 10 picks that deserve to be spoken about?
They're shameless.
Nope. Just LeBrown James's shitty little brat of son. "Daddy, I want to play in the NBA and I want to play NOW!" Bronny 'Veruca Salt' James.
This duo will be better than the shaq and kobe era
...next step, contending for a spot in the play in tournament.
Rob Lowe just made a bigger distraction for the Lakers 😂😂
How do you know nobody else is a bad matchup.. all they’ve played is Denver and got bounced .. chances are they’ll get bounced from someone else 🤣
Windy is too funny saying LA drafted Bronny to get LeBron to re-sign. 😂
That does beat a helicopter and other perks
LBJ should opt out and let Lakers signed key players this Free Agency and take what ever left. Just like what Harden did few years ago with Sixers.
They gonna how to make some trades
If the lakers can get Donovan Mitchell with the roster they currently have that would make them a top 3 team in the west
We need another big and wings
@@jrbarajas4436I need buffalo wings but frfr you right they couldn’t get stops at crunch time
Dalton Knecht deserves respect.
I hope king James takes a paycut because it’s just more fun when you’re winning and he shouldn’t want Bronny to enter his career with a losing situation
Will king james tell coach jj when to play his son as well ,imagine the shockwaves in that laker locker room right now and owner jeannie buss needs to check rob pelinka 💯👍
To go for a first-time father/son combo over the actual future of a big franchise seems super selfish to me.
Next step is the 10th seed and play in tournament.
Its been discovered that Lebron James is sleeping with one of his new teammates moms 😀
That's classic
Tell Brian if he is getting paid to be on tv image is everything. My boy eating more than journalism😮
Yeah we indeed had helicopter rides a few years ago 💀💀
Ope
Lakers fans about to dox your mamas home address 😂
@@shiningwizard202 😂😂
Personally to me it seems the lakers, are more concerned about ticket sells and media coverage than winning.
The ONLY way a pay cut works is if LeBron physically calls someone and has them commit to taking the mid-level. Otherwise no dice.
I averages 17 points per game. No NBA for me.
As a Lakers fan, i dont even want to watch this debacle. 😟
They will not share the court. Bronny will not play one minute UNLESS politics get involved.
Here's what I'm worried about: Dalton Knecht was supposed to be the 5th/6th pick this draft, how come he fell so low to a playoff team?
He fell because of his age (23). Teams want younger players they can mold. Because of his age he's smarter and more physically developed. By most reports he's NBA ready. This was an A+ draft choice by the Lakers.
