One of your best post ever. Bronny will go to the Lakers with the 17th pick. Rich Paul already said Bronny is not accepting a two-way contract. Lebron will take a pay cut on his new deal to allow the Lakers to pay Bronny 1st round pick money.
I feel like this is a very important subject, my sons recently experienced nepotism on a basketball team. One played the 1( scoring 16ppg) and the other played the 2( 8ppg 7 steals) but the were repeatedly beached for the head coach and owner son which was trash. I removed them from the team and the team when on to lose every game big after. My sons were happier and were already national champions and jr Olympic in fighting. They had to get away from that team in bball tho. It was so toxic.
It’s very important man and so unfair. To literally think if Caleb Love was Caleb James, with his talent, he would’ve been the #1 pick 3 years ago! You did the right thing. No parent should stand for it and more people should speak out against it. I see X NBA players meat ride this situation in James’ favor, when they know a guy that averaged 4ppg in college, with a major heart issue would never be considered for the NBA, yet has Rob Palinka come watch his workout is crazy. Lebron always says this and that has no place in sports, well neither does nepotism. Let your son earn it like everyone else. One of the biggest issues in basketball and it won’t ever change because people are selfish.
Good move brother I salute you thats why lebron could never be the goat mj never would have forced the NBA to draft his sons he respected the game and competition to much for that he has a goat mentality on and off the court earned not given
@@chevyjr1862 it’s 60 picks in the draft. Bronny can only take up 1 pick. And it’s not even certain that Bronny will get picked. So that leaves at least 59 other spots that Davis and Love are not confident they will get. That’s their fault. Not nepotism.
That is also my thoughts... Those guys just need to compete for their spot. Bronny is competing for his spot. He is not drafted yet. He went to the combine to show what he can do. Caleb love should have left school 3 years ago but he didn't and now he is where he is. Same with rj Davis. It becomes much harder to be drafted once you get to a certain age.
I believe you’ll be making the rise and fall of Bronny James video in the near future. I hope the best for him however his father seems to be pressing him for stardom.
I’m not disagreeing with you but look at it like this. Professional sports watches these guys from the minute they start high school granted it’s a few suprises here and there. But if you don’t get drafted the league probably never had you on radar or decided you weren’t good enough
Now go talk about them white folks who been doing it... Love bron got yall big mad... how many dudes who balled out prior to the league and working at Walmart or something let me get the kid who got it in his blood... Anthony Bennett 😂😂😂 he went number one...
I truly want to agree with you because you’re correct. But Bron has too much power in the business of basketball, Bronny will go first round out of fear of how Bron will retaliate to the rest of the league.
His only chance in the first round is the Suns. His only chance in the second round are the Lakers, everyone else is hip to the game that LeBron is pulling by baiting his free agency to sucker someone into drafting his son.
I will be honest especially as a person of African descent. I respect Lebron putting himself in position to do this for his kid . I also might add we need to stop going for the same goals and diversify our vision. Think outside of the box and do something different. Ivy league and even fraternities have legacy admissions. We need to build our own power structure and put our own in position. The foundation of this country is built on this we need to wake up .
I can’t really compare this to corporate nepotism. We’re paying to watch the best overall players go at it. Bronny has to be a beast. Or he will be slaughtered by the public. I do like how Bronny has held his head up throughout this process. It’ll give him a better chance to be a good NBA level player. Tough skin.
@@CM-ft9epand in high school he played for a top national elite program. Dwayne wade’son was on that team and barely ever played. Is it because his dad didn’t as popular as bron?
True but you need to understand that Pinkfolk dont take too kindly to their former slaves using their power and influence to help their offpring reach their dreams. They prefer the deadbeat-Daddy narrative and the stud-Buck with multiple illigetimate children, they dont like to see a married family man using his position to help put his Sons in position. Now dont get it twisted, I blame LeBron for some of this backlash, he FOOLISHLY stated publicly that his dream was to play with his son.....Bron WTF was you thinking???? You know how much these Devils Hate you and Hate the image you have as a FATHER sso why would you give these Devils a reason to try to crush that Dream??? Shoulda kept it to himself and said that he wanted his son to get a 4-Year degree, If he would have played that angle you'd have all these Devils working overtime to get Bronny into the League and saying he deserves a chance. Finnesse these Demons. Bottom line Bronny had a dream to be in the NBA and his Pops is doing everything within his power to aid and assist his Sun to reach his dream.
He should still have to grind like everyone else he could easily go to a team where he could start improve his game and stock hell he could work for his dad and be a millionaire and start his own business instead of getting in others way who earned there position
I dnt care for bronny like tht, I think he's the 3rd best James.....I think he's getting too much hate tho. He was good in high school, ranked....he had tht heart problem played after that when he probably shouldn't have. I think he would've been good in college if he came back. Let him live his dream out. He already got bread, either he gone sink or swim.....he'll be better than austin rivers tho
This is so over dramatic. You get one person per pick. Not Bronny's fault scouts aren't even excited for anyone in this draft. Every team wants to trade their picks for players already in the league.
Man these guys had 3 years before bronny was even in the draft. Id see if they were freshmen phenoms, but bro if they can’t guarantee even a second round pick I’m sorry but you’re wrong they just sold on themselves and it has nothing to do with bronny
If they have all that talent and better then him they still should have entered it you people make excuses just because He is bron son remember it’s basketball so name can only get you so far it still comes down to talent smh everytime yall do that y’all discredit bronny hard work that he had to put in
In life people are given aid and helped all the time. People get into jobs or positions due to who they know all the time. Even your standard first kfc or McDonald’s job may have been because a friend or family member who works there got you an interview. I got my first two jobs in retail because of a close friend who got me an interview with the manager. This is just news because it’s bronny.
Yeah, but the big one is there's only 450 NBA slots, not a gazillion retail/KFC jobs. You got to be elite to play in the League, and even then it might not work.
@@CM-ft9ep doesn’t matter. And no you don’t have to be elite. Lotta bums have been and are in the league that are taking roster spots just to fill out roster space. He can actually play and has potential and has the James name. He is also not a bum and can actually develop into an elite role player or more depending on the development a team puts him through.
@@bigmanny You don't have to be elite to play in the NBA? Okay, that's a new take. I'm just basing on what I've seen, not on his name. I watched entire games at USC and he simply did not look like a NBA player last year. He's short and doesn't have the skills a short player needs in the NBA. Can he develop? Sure, maybe. But he's had the best trainers in the world growing up, so why isn't he better? Seems like a good kid so I hope he ends up in a good place.
BRO I never comment but on this 1 u yourself had dream's also of making it the league! Now if just maybe if our dad LEBRON JAMES can help ok😳 but he does have game 1rst round course not but he can any team off the bench at 1tst then grow his game💯😎
I've been telling people nobody complained about Trump hiring his kids for jobs they weren't qualified for when he was president but complain about LeBron 🤣💯
i never thought of it but it is true bronny would be hyped as a number 1 overall pick if he had the season RJ Davis or even Caleb Love had. I know those guys are like 22-23 years old so that’s a big reason why they won’t get drafted regardless but if it was Bronny playing like that the hype would be crazy
I wouldn’t back out the draft. No way. If they were that good, they would be more confident. This draft is weak af, so there’s a lot of room for improvement. So going back to school maybe their best bet. Bronny ain’t taking nothing from nobody.
Bronny didnt choose to be LeBron son , so what if his dad's influence will get him 1st round , i thought that's what dads are supposed to do, make life easy for their offsprings, right??
What’s lost in the sauce though is that these are way different times. If there was no NIL $ they would risk it and go pro. Bronny James has nothing to do with that. Also Caleb Love is not a point guard.
I have mixed feelings about nepotism in sports. Like you said in your caption, a certain group of people have been doing it in other areas of life. If I have the power to help someone I love get in a higher position I'd do it. The thing about nepotism in sports though is as a player you have a target on your back that can't be hidden, and if you're not as good as you claim to be you will get exposed PUBLICLY.
I'm sorry but if you're my son and you want to do what I do I think you have to be honest and tell them when they aren't ready or it just doesn't seem right for them so they don't get out there and embarrass themselves.
Nepotism is here to stay! NBA teams make economic decisions, and drafting players with "pedigree" makes sense on so many levels. Let's not forget the NBA mantra of the past! "It's ENTERTAINMENT!" Moreover, players with such pedigree have the support system to ensure that at some point they can develop into a serviceable PRO! As children, they are around the game at a high level and can seemingly handle the finances better than others. The players that you highlighted would certainly be high draft picks in the past. However, we can not overlook the fact that their individual decisions to return are also motivated by their ability to get paid at a level never seen before in college athletics! The "game" has changed from top to bottom in so many ways! I appreciate your commentary on such a hot topic! I just hope parents and players alike, take note of the landscape, and make informed decisions. I'm looking forward to the return of the aforementioned players to assess their individual decisions to return! Bronny and other progeny will do just fine in whatever they decide to do. "They are already rich; B****!😂
Everyone needa just put themselves in these folks shoes, everyone is human and just because nepotism is a factor doesn’t mean he’ll be successful. Those are the opportunities he was blessed with, it’s his journey, his legacy. Everyone should go to work and focus on their own legacy.
This will be a double edged sword for Bronny. If he fails, he’ll be outta the league faster than he got in it. This is more of a risk for any team than a benefit. Then yall keep saying “they get lebron too”. Lebron is well over the hill now. Regardless of stats. His best days are far behind him.
It’s more disappointing from a hoopers perspective that the competitive nature is not there in bronny to want make his own name and prove to himself that he is a NBA player at the highest level without his dads name to carry… just a theory but Bronny game is modeled after the wrong players example : his dad Bronny should’ve modeled his game and worked with with KYRIE or CP3 or even Westbrook HECK all three cause his size he needs those other advantages at 6”1 you need it ALL and he has no WOW factor to his game that can make the defense honest if anything Brommy will get more disrespect from the media and other nba players

@@yungnflashytvthey still wouldn’t lol these guys are 23 years old respectfully, they are basically done developing their game and the chances of hitting the next level at that age is ridiculously slim.
@@mr.longjohn0014 you still missing it bro Love and Rj Davis skill wise are light years ahead of Bronny even as Freshmen both had good Sophomore seasons and their jersey said James Jr on the back they would most def be a lottery pick maybe even the top pick in this draft (no standouts as of now) simple for the allure of getting Bron but Bronny is so far displaced skill wise teams dnt want to waste the pick at all and get Bron bc he comes with bs
A recent undrafted player I can think of with bronnys build whos had a very solid career as a backup is tj McConnell. Tj worked very hard from Philly until now to stay in the league and make a way for himself.
Let’s tell more of the truth with one name, Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Thanasis averages less than one point a game in the NBA after 6 seasons. Any prospect named Antetokounmpo would be in the NBA.
In that video where bronny and all his folks watching the draft, when they announced his name everybody acted so suprised like gtfo! Yall knew he was gna get it and his mom crying like she didn't already know 😂
I'm tired of this. Stating your opinion is not hating. I'm happy for Bron and Bronny to play together, it's a beautiful moment. Still that's most likely one position somebody who's qualified who worked his whole life to get won't have.
Only cuz the NBA will make more money off bronny it doesn’t matter if the other guys are better than him. Bronny just gotta be somewhat good enough and his pops will carry him.
Yall can’t be mad at LeBron for using his clout to put his sons on. Yea young men can lose out on a spot, but what’s the point of working hard if your lineage can’t benefit from it. And with the stigma on black fathers I’ll never be mad at this. Or even Giannis getting he brothers a spot on a roster.
Nothing against Bronny. But he never had to get it out the mud. He's been afforded the best training, conditioning and opportunities because of his dad. While others come from damn near poverty and look at basketball as the only option to get out of a difficult family situation.
So for all these players none of them will get a shot because of Brony? Come on now Brony is only one person which will take up only one spot. You named about ten players. Are you saying that they dont have enough confidence in their skills to earn a spot in the NBA? Brony isnt their only competition for a spot. So let say Brony gets a spot what about the other teams? What about the second round? People love to place blame on others for their failure to achieve. If they are that talented and are ready right now they would even try to go undrafted if its that important.
Bronny will most likely go undrafted, and for good reason. Now will he get a shot at making a roster sure, especially with elite athleticism, but no guarantees he’ll have a nba career or even make a roster
Those guys may be better but that's because they are close to their ceiling already college hoops isn't like football if you are 21 22 going into the draft teams know you are what you are
Those guys gotta go back to school while the kid gets drafted at 17 is just bad for the game. It just baffles me because bron has so much respect for the game but he’s slapping it in the face by doing this nonsense
They are going back for the NIL foo, and Bronny got a bigger NIL than they do. He's actually risking more by staying in. Pro sports is a business, and if you're a boss in the business, you give your kid a job, Bronny is better than Thiannis, and he's a vet. Get off the kid's nuts.
These are the kids I want to hear about. They will get there like they were meant to be and everything will work. But Bronny, he gotta a lot to prove and respect to 😒earn
Bill walton luke walton all trumps kids look at the christlys show wait till peja son gets ready to come out bryce coming oh they gonna cry when carmelo son come to the draft then smh
It’s seems like an easier option to get to the money faster and have enough saved up once they graduate (if they use it wisely). But it also depends on their ranking coming out of high school; if you’re a 4 or 5 star, you might get the highest pay in NILs.
its only fair considering once Bryce comes big brother will become little brother because he's the one..seems like Bronny took more of his mom genes and Bryce took his Dad's
Bronny is definitely getting a bump because of his dad but every you named had a chace to make it. They're journey would've been harder but who is to say they dont impress someone in summer League? They could've got signed to a G-league roster and showed out there. With or without Bronny their path to the NBA wouldnt have been easy
Caleb love going back isn’t gonna help him imo cuz he’s gonna have a shorter leash in the nba as an old prospect he’s the same age as Anthony Edwards. Teams are gonna still pass on him for younger prospects anyway he literally has to average like 22 & 5 and be the best player of all college ball if he tryna go lottery. Should’ve left after his Sophmore season
I really don't get why this is such a big thing now especially when everyone knows how life works for people with influence, I feel as if just because it is LeBron James son and the obvious that he is a man of color people are really going at it, it is not common seeing a Black man with so much pull. But do a piece on the amount of European players that are drafted and never come over taking up a draft spot with college players going undrafted. Then there is the other Euro players that do finally come over and are complete trash after being drafted high taking from better college players. But I ultimately get it man, I feel bad for Bronny though regardless of how hard he works and do what's necessary people will never truly believe he earned it due to this narrative and that weighs on a man and will hurt a lot. Shout out to LeBron for creating a brand so strong it gives his son's eyes though especially not growing up with a father active in his life.
Basically all those dudes would smoke bronny james head up its crazy how a dude who was the third best player on his hs team a bench player who avg below 5 pts points on bad team College and is 6'2 wish them dudes could have had a 1v1 workout against him but that would expose him and ruin the scheme to draft him thats wicked work
Ant Man is 22 years old. If you are REALLY that good the NBA will take you. Bronny would not affect Ant man’s draft status if they came out in the same year.
I get it, Nepotism does exist, and many of us would do the same thing if in the position to help the people we love, especially if it's our own child. Nothing against Bronny James, but I can't help but think if Davis and Love last name was James, they would be #1 overall picks in this year's draft.

Yup bron don’t care bout the $ he already a billionaire.
The Lakers are allowed to pay their first round pick first round money.
I feel like this is a very important subject, my sons recently experienced nepotism on a basketball team. One played the 1( scoring 16ppg) and the other played the 2( 8ppg 7 steals) but the were repeatedly beached for the head coach and owner son which was trash. I removed them from the team and the team when on to lose every game big after. My sons were happier and were already national champions and jr Olympic in fighting. They had to get away from that team in bball tho. It was so toxic.
It’s very important man and so unfair. To literally think if Caleb Love was Caleb James, with his talent, he would’ve been the #1 pick 3 years ago! You did the right thing. No parent should stand for it and more people should speak out against it. I see X NBA players meat ride this situation in James’ favor, when they know a guy that averaged 4ppg in college, with a major heart issue would never be considered for the NBA, yet has Rob Palinka come watch his workout is crazy. Lebron always says this and that has no place in sports, well neither does nepotism. Let your son earn it like everyone else. One of the biggest issues in basketball and it won’t ever change because people are selfish.
Good move brother I salute you thats why lebron could never be the goat mj never would have forced the NBA to draft his sons he respected the game and competition to much for that he has a goat mentality on and off the court earned not given
@stuntedgrowth thank you brother and I appreciate your statement. It's a hard conversation to have to youth. Your video will help.
@chevyjr1862 I agree. The kind of behavior will never teach a young man to have respect for the game.
@@stuntedgrowthbrother he’s had 4 years, what about the 3 years bronny wasn’t in the draft?
Is what it is. It happens everywhere at every job and will never go away.
💯
The NBA doesn’t want older players. They draft on potential. Too much tape on older players, they are who they are. 🤷
exactly, dude sound like he hating using bronny as a reason why dude not getting attention
Youth is a huge asset!
Caleb should've left after that title game. His stock was high at that time.
Caleb Love should’ve declared after his sophomore year
Caleb Love and Rj Davis have played 4 college seasons each. Nepotism isn’t their problem. Their own games is their problem.
RJ would smoke bronny james easy work
@@chevyjr1862 it’s 60 picks in the draft. Bronny can only take up 1 pick. And it’s not even certain that Bronny will get picked. So that leaves at least 59 other spots that Davis and Love are not confident they will get. That’s their fault. Not nepotism.
That is also my thoughts... Those guys just need to compete for their spot. Bronny is competing for his spot. He is not drafted yet. He went to the combine to show what he can do. Caleb love should have left school 3 years ago but he didn't and now he is where he is. Same with rj Davis. It becomes much harder to be drafted once you get to a certain age.
Thank you! If 4 years isn’t enough to get you some consideration then “nepotism” is not the issue here - there’s something scouts/GMs don’t like.
Caleb just didn't strike while the iron was hot. The way he was dropping dagger 3s on Duke, sending Coach K out to pasture the right way?
Great comparative analysis of Bronny James vs. RJ Davis/Caleb Love
That dude searcy from Alabama cold too he would smoke bronny in a work out
I believe you’ll be making the rise and fall of Bronny James video in the near future. I hope the best for him however his father seems to be pressing him for stardom.
All these dudes trash 🚮 😂 that’s the problem. If they were good they’d be getting drafted ahead of him period. Bronny trash too, He just lucky.
“maybe the worst player of all time” about JR’s brother is insane 😂
I’m not disagreeing with you but look at it like this. Professional sports watches these guys from the minute they start high school granted it’s a few suprises here and there. But if you don’t get drafted the league probably never had you on radar or decided you weren’t good enough
Now go talk about them white folks who been doing it... Love bron got yall big mad... how many dudes who balled out prior to the league and working at Walmart or something let me get the kid who got it in his blood... Anthony Bennett 😂😂😂 he went number one...
Love it or hate it we will always choose Nepotism there's so much to gain.
There’s zero chance Bronny goes first round. I do believe a team will take a flyer on him in the 2nd round though.
I truly want to agree with you because you’re correct. But Bron has too much power in the business of basketball, Bronny will go first round out of fear of how Bron will retaliate to the rest of the league.
It’s definitely higher than zero
His only chance in the first round is the Suns. His only chance in the second round are the Lakers, everyone else is hip to the game that LeBron is pulling by baiting his free agency to sucker someone into drafting his son.
I will be honest especially as a person of African descent. I respect Lebron putting himself in position to do this for his kid . I also might add we need to stop going for the same goals and diversify our vision. Think outside of the box and do something different. Ivy league and even fraternities have legacy admissions. We need to build our own power structure and put our own in position. The foundation of this country is built on this we need to wake up .
Lebron is an employee not the owner so no this beyond wrong
@@fullmetal1766and the owner made a decision?
I can’t really compare this to corporate nepotism. We’re paying to watch the best overall players go at it. Bronny has to be a beast. Or he will be slaughtered by the public. I do like how Bronny has held his head up throughout this process. It’ll give him a better chance to be a good NBA level player. Tough skin.
The minute black ppl have influence and can benefit from it now we want to analyze nepotism. Sorry I could care less, carry on.
Victimhood mentality 😂
He not going in no damn lottery. I doubt he goes top 30.
He just wants to goto a stacked team that can sign his dad or the lakers no lottery team would waste there time with him
Feel that all this red carpet for Bronny will backfire. He will get exposed in the NBA.
And get a GM fired
Has Bronny ever earned a roster spot?
nope
I doubt it maybe if he went to a normal public school or d2, d3 college he could earn a spot and avg 12
You a hater azz hater.
@@CM-ft9epwhat do you know?? Bronny was always the best in his class winning all kinds of awards all the way until high school…
@@CM-ft9epand in high school he played for a top national elite program. Dwayne wade’son was on that team and barely ever played. Is it because his dad didn’t as popular as bron?
If I can make a way for my child I'm gone do it. If she wants to choose her own path then I will support her.
Speak to em fam 💯✊🏾🤝🏾🍻
True but you need to understand that Pinkfolk dont take too kindly to their former slaves using their power and influence to help their offpring reach their dreams.
They prefer the deadbeat-Daddy narrative and the stud-Buck with multiple illigetimate children, they dont like to see a married family man using his position to help put his Sons in position.
Now dont get it twisted, I blame LeBron for some of this backlash, he FOOLISHLY stated publicly that his dream was to play with his son.....Bron WTF was you thinking???? You know how much these Devils Hate you and Hate the image you have as a FATHER sso why would you give these Devils a reason to try to crush that Dream???
Shoulda kept it to himself and said that he wanted his son to get a 4-Year degree, If he would have played that angle you'd have all these Devils working overtime to get Bronny into the League and saying he deserves a chance. Finnesse these Demons.
Bottom line Bronny had a dream to be in the NBA and his Pops is doing everything within his power to aid and assist his Sun to reach his dream.
He should still have to grind like everyone else he could easily go to a team where he could start improve his game and stock hell he could work for his dad and be a millionaire and start his own business instead of getting in others way who earned there position
If you put your child in a position to fail, she will fail.
Congrats!
I dnt care for bronny like tht, I think he's the 3rd best James.....I think he's getting too much hate tho. He was good in high school, ranked....he had tht heart problem played after that when he probably shouldn't have. I think he would've been good in college if he came back. Let him live his dream out. He already got bread, either he gone sink or swim.....he'll be better than austin rivers tho
This is so over dramatic. You get one person per pick. Not Bronny's fault scouts aren't even excited for anyone in this draft. Every team wants to trade their picks for players already in the league.
Man these guys had 3 years before bronny was even in the draft. Id see if they were freshmen phenoms, but bro if they can’t guarantee even a second round pick I’m sorry but you’re wrong they just sold on themselves and it has nothing to do with bronny
If they have all that talent and better then him they still should have entered it you people make excuses just because He is bron son remember it’s basketball so name can only get you so far it still comes down to talent smh everytime yall do that y’all discredit bronny hard work that he had to put in
Michael Jordan didn’t make “the call” for Marcus or Jeffrey 🤷🏽♂️
In life people are given aid and helped all the time. People get into jobs or positions due to who they know all the time. Even your standard first kfc or McDonald’s job may have been because a friend or family member who works there got you an interview. I got my first two jobs in retail because of a close friend who got me an interview with the manager. This is just news because it’s bronny.
Yeah, but the big one is there's only 450 NBA slots, not a gazillion retail/KFC jobs. You got to be elite to play in the League, and even then it might not work.
@@CM-ft9ep doesn’t matter. And no you don’t have to be elite. Lotta bums have been and are in the league that are taking roster spots just to fill out roster space. He can actually play and has potential and has the James name. He is also not a bum and can actually develop into an elite role player or more depending on the development a team puts him through.
@@bigmanny You don't have to be elite to play in the NBA? Okay, that's a new take.
I'm just basing on what I've seen, not on his name. I watched entire games at USC and he simply did not look like a NBA player last year. He's short and doesn't have the skills a short player needs in the NBA. Can he develop? Sure, maybe. But he's had the best trainers in the world growing up, so why isn't he better? Seems like a good kid so I hope he ends up in a good place.
BRO I never comment but on this 1 u yourself had dream's also of making it the league! Now if just maybe if our dad LEBRON JAMES can help ok😳 but he does have game 1rst round course not but he can any team off the bench at 1tst then grow his game💯😎
No one says the best player to touch a basket ball jordan the Goat period !
I've been telling people nobody complained about Trump hiring his kids for jobs they weren't qualified for when he was president but complain about LeBron 🤣💯
Difference is trump own his Company, and can do whatever he wants in his Company. Lebron dont own the nba, thats Why its different.
People did complain about Trump kids, but the people in power didn't care because they do the same.
@@oldmennewgamesSo basically your parents did nothing for you
@@HARVEY_1988 idk about you but my parents aren't rich enough to compel their manager to hire me
@@oldmennewgamesbeat me too it , apples to oranges in this regard.
i never thought of it but it is true bronny would be hyped as a number 1 overall pick if he had the season RJ Davis or even Caleb Love had. I know those guys are like 22-23 years old so that’s a big reason why they won’t get drafted regardless but if it was Bronny playing like that the hype would be crazy
That opening 😂😂😂😂 of course he was bout to go back at em
I wouldn’t back out the draft. No way. If they were that good, they would be more confident. This draft is weak af, so there’s a lot of room for improvement. So going back to school maybe their best bet. Bronny ain’t taking nothing from nobody.
Bronny didnt choose to be LeBron son , so what if his dad's influence will get him 1st round , i thought that's what dads are supposed to do, make life easy for their offsprings, right??
What’s lost in the sauce though is that these are way different times. If there was no NIL $ they would risk it and go pro. Bronny James has nothing to do with that. Also Caleb Love is not a point guard.
Hell no. Thats my son. He the worse accountant.
I cant hire him. He aint messing my name or numbers up. Im the 2%
Are you even in position to hire anybody
I can tell you now if it was MJ and his kid, more than half of the people crying would stfu and stay quiet about nepotism
This isnt a accounting business this is the NBA the best should get the spot not who we want to get it
there isn’t a single field where only the “best” get hired
true meritocracy is an ideal that isn’t achievable in the real world
Too bad that’s not how it is in any professional league Forreal smh
Great perspective. Did Fred Vanvleet follow the paths of those players?
Bronny ain't no NBA player
I have mixed feelings about nepotism in sports. Like you said in your caption, a certain group of people have been doing it in other areas of life. If I have the power to help someone I love get in a higher position I'd do it. The thing about nepotism in sports though is as a player you have a target on your back that can't be hidden, and if you're not as good as you claim to be you will get exposed PUBLICLY.
I'm sorry but if you're my son and you want to do what I do I think you have to be honest and tell them when they aren't ready or it just doesn't seem right for them so they don't get out there and embarrass themselves.
Ppl will type anything for likes or because it sounds good
Nepotism is here to stay! NBA teams make economic decisions, and drafting players with "pedigree" makes sense on so many levels. Let's not forget the NBA mantra of the past! "It's ENTERTAINMENT!" Moreover, players with such pedigree have the support system to ensure that at some point they can develop into a serviceable PRO! As children, they are around the game at a high level and can seemingly handle the finances better than others. The players that you highlighted would certainly be high draft picks in the past. However, we can not overlook the fact that their individual decisions to return are also motivated by their ability to get paid at a level never seen before in college athletics! The "game" has changed from top to bottom in so many ways! I appreciate your commentary on such a hot topic! I just hope parents and players alike, take note of the landscape, and make informed decisions. I'm looking forward to the return of the aforementioned players to assess their individual decisions to return! Bronny and other progeny will do just fine in whatever they decide to do. "They are already rich; B****!😂
I’m honestly sitting back these next couple of years and watch nepo-James be a bust.
We f with Luke
Your Luke Walton take was terrible
Everyone needa just put themselves in these folks shoes, everyone is human and just because nepotism is a factor doesn’t mean he’ll be successful. Those are the opportunities he was blessed with, it’s his journey, his legacy. Everyone should go to work and focus on their own legacy.
Nepotism stop kwame, Jerry stackhouses growth too when jordan came to the wizards. But ur not gonna say anything.
Huh? Just typing anything at this point...
@@jrodzilla24 it’s a typo glazer thank u for saying something so I can cook your stanking ass
@@jrodzilla24 Jordan stunted their growth. Point blank period, and Richard Hamilton.
I just purchased a restaurant. No matter who I employ, when the time comes my children will rise above all.
This will be a double edged sword for Bronny. If he fails, he’ll be outta the league faster than he got in it. This is more of a risk for any team than a benefit. Then yall keep saying “they get lebron too”. Lebron is well over the hill now. Regardless of stats. His best days are far behind him.
Thank you! Great analysis.
Best video you ever made 🍾💥
It’s more disappointing from a hoopers perspective that the competitive nature is not there in bronny to want make his own name and prove to himself that he is a NBA player at the highest level without his dads name to carry… just a theory but Bronny game is modeled after the wrong players example : his dad Bronny should’ve modeled his game and worked with with KYRIE or CP3 or even Westbrook HECK all three cause his size he needs those other advantages at 6”1 you need it ALL and he has no WOW factor to his game that can make the defense honest if anything Brommy will get more disrespect from the media and other nba players

Bump the breaks Love and Davis would not be number 1 picks.
I think he was getting at if they were LBJ Jr they would go high in the lottery
@@yungnflashytvthey still wouldn’t lol these guys are 23 years old respectfully, they are basically done developing their game and the chances of hitting the next level at that age is ridiculously slim.
@@mr.longjohn0014 you still missing it bro Love and Rj Davis skill wise are light years ahead of Bronny even as Freshmen both had good Sophomore seasons and their jersey said James Jr on the back they would most def be a lottery pick maybe even the top pick in this draft (no standouts as of now) simple for the allure of getting Bron but Bronny is so far displaced skill wise teams dnt want to waste the pick at all and get Bron bc he comes with bs
Never thought I’d ever see a complete Scrub, is even considered a draft pick?? Wowwww
LeDelusional is horrible!
A recent undrafted player I can think of with bronnys build whos had a very solid career as a backup is tj McConnell. Tj worked very hard from Philly until now to stay in the league and make a way for himself.
Let’s tell more of the truth with one name, Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Thanasis averages less than one point a game in the NBA after 6 seasons. Any prospect named Antetokounmpo would be in the NBA.
In that video where bronny and all his folks watching the draft, when they announced his name everybody acted so suprised like gtfo! Yall knew he was gna get it and his mom crying like she didn't already know 😂
I'm tired of this. Stating your opinion is not hating. I'm happy for Bron and Bronny to play together, it's a beautiful moment. Still that's most likely one position somebody who's qualified who worked his whole life to get won't have.
Only cuz the NBA will make more money off bronny it doesn’t matter if the other guys are better than him. Bronny just gotta be somewhat good enough and his pops will carry him.
Yall can’t be mad at LeBron for using his clout to put his sons on. Yea young men can lose out on a spot, but what’s the point of working hard if your lineage can’t benefit from it. And with the stigma on black fathers I’ll never be mad at this. Or even Giannis getting he brothers a spot on a roster.
Nothing against Bronny. But he never had to get it out the mud. He's been afforded the best training, conditioning and opportunities because of his dad. While others come from damn near poverty and look at basketball as the only option to get out of a difficult family situation.
So for all these players none of them will get a shot because of Brony? Come on now Brony is only one person which will take up only one spot. You named about ten players. Are you saying that they dont have enough confidence in their skills to earn a spot in the NBA? Brony isnt their only competition for a spot. So let say Brony gets a spot what about the other teams? What about the second round? People love to place blame on others for their failure to achieve. If they are that talented and are ready right now they would even try to go undrafted if its that important.
The league has made billions off of LeBron, so make his dreams comes true and draft his son. It's up to Bronny to take advantage of his privilege.
Bronny will most likely go undrafted, and for good reason. Now will he get a shot at making a roster sure, especially with elite athleticism, but no guarantees he’ll have a nba career or even make a roster
Those guys may be better but that's because they are close to their ceiling already college hoops isn't like football if you are 21 22 going into the draft teams know you are what you are
Those guys gotta go back to school while the kid gets drafted at 17 is just bad for the game. It just baffles me because bron has so much respect for the game but he’s slapping it in the face by doing this nonsense
Doing what?
They are going back for the NIL foo, and Bronny got a bigger NIL than they do. He's actually risking more by staying in. Pro sports is a business, and if you're a boss in the business, you give your kid a job, Bronny is better than Thiannis, and he's a vet. Get off the kid's nuts.
Lebron has done nothing but disrespect the game sir
Caleb Love should’ve declared in 2022…but truth be told he doesn’t really move me as a prospect either and he had just as bad a Fr year as Bronny did
RJ withdrew because he’ll make more at UNC which makes sense. But I think he’s good enough to be a pro, time will tell
Sorry I believe in being honest with my children and I don't believe in nepotism. Its terrible parenting behavior I will not pass to my children
These are the kids I want to hear about. They will get there like they were meant to be and everything will work. But Bronny, he gotta a lot to prove and respect to 😒earn
Bill walton luke walton all trumps kids look at the christlys show wait till peja son gets ready to come out bryce coming oh they gonna cry when carmelo son come to the draft then smh
Its all politics
Stay in college reap the financial Rewards
If your family don't have generation wealth
Bryce better.. and probably worth the nba chllenge as a player.
Bronny is not getting drafted I don’t see it. 4 points 4 rebounds a game is not a ok. Bronny is just not good.
Smh he's gonna go first round just to end up in the g league
Only reason bronny going to the league is because lebron wants to retire .. so the nba gonna give lebron that ..
I think a lot of players will pick college over nba because of NILs
It’s seems like an easier option to get to the money faster and have enough saved up once they graduate (if they use it wisely).
But it also depends on their ranking coming out of high school; if you’re a 4 or 5 star, you might get the highest pay in NILs.
RJ Davis would smoke 💨 merchant Vronny in a game.
Lebron fans are silently guilty lol
You sound like a hater, I usually like the videos. This was a miss.
"And for Nepotism winning once again" 🤣
Bronny is going to play most of the time in the g its a fact
I say so what. If im in the position im doing the same to put my family on. Bronny aint flat out trash, he has a real shot at success in the nba.
its only fair considering once Bryce comes big brother will become little brother because he's the one..seems like Bronny took more of his mom genes and Bryce took his Dad's
Bronny is definitely getting a bump because of his dad but every you named had a chace to make it. They're journey would've been harder but who is to say they dont impress someone in summer League? They could've got signed to a G-league roster and showed out there. With or without Bronny their path to the NBA wouldnt have been easy
Caleb love going back isn’t gonna help him imo cuz he’s gonna have a shorter leash in the nba as an old prospect he’s the same age as Anthony Edwards. Teams are gonna still pass on him for younger prospects anyway he literally has to average like 22 & 5 and be the best player of all college ball if he tryna go lottery. Should’ve left after his Sophmore season
I really don't get why this is such a big thing now especially when everyone knows how life works for people with influence, I feel as if just because it is LeBron James son and the obvious that he is a man of color people are really going at it, it is not common seeing a Black man with so much pull. But do a piece on the amount of European players that are drafted and never come over taking up a draft spot with college players going undrafted. Then there is the other Euro players that do finally come over and are complete trash after being drafted high taking from better college players. But I ultimately get it man, I feel bad for Bronny though regardless of how hard he works and do what's necessary people will never truly believe he earned it due to this narrative and that weighs on a man and will hurt a lot. Shout out to LeBron for creating a brand so strong it gives his son's eyes though especially not growing up with a father active in his life.
Basically all those dudes would smoke bronny james head up its crazy how a dude who was the third best player on his hs team a bench player who avg below 5 pts points on bad team College and is 6'2 wish them dudes could have had a 1v1 workout against him but that would expose him and ruin the scheme to draft him thats wicked work
Ant Man is 22 years old. If you are REALLY that good the NBA will take you. Bronny would not affect Ant man’s draft status if they came out in the same year.
