They should've kept Scottie Pippen Jr.
Kinda crazy of major nba superstars Scottie Pippen Jr gonna be better than MJ or LeBron’s sons
Not ready!
The fact that Bronny is 'available' at any pick is just terrible
It’s not terrible.
He’s just not a Baller.
its not, some players might not be good. But they bring with them a lot of attention which can be turned into money.
@@tereraikarenge3721you understand business
I’ve seen players with VHS tape from Europe get drafted.
Bronny will be a solid role player. I think anyone judging him by him being a failure if he is anything less than LeBron is stupid and unfair but that’s just me.
Black privilege
If Bronny's name was John Smith and he didnt have a famous dad but had EXACTLY the same basketball ability, he'd never sniff the NBA.
Preach
Danke
right bonny has to deserve it he should get there just because who his daddy is
Same for Giannis brother. And curry brother. And Drew brother. Etc etc.
@@Tewche Curry's brother? Damn that kid is good....
Bronny wasn’t even good on his hs team or a bad college team and the entire media lies for him. This is ridiculous
It seems to me that the mob ran type mentality is plaguing the nba. Now it's rich Paul amd his Klutch Sports have gotten way too much power, he and LeBron control multiple teams. They influence players and coaches. They can tell front offices who to hire and fire. All because three Billionaires who are friends control the nba and the media surrounding it. It's the mob, just an updated and newer version.
The media is passing me off cause the kid just doesn't have IT.
Passing 😅😅😅
It’s just proof that Lebron is and has been paying off the media. That talk doesn’t come out of nowhere.
Yep, Klutch Sports @@back2back379
Marcus Jordan was way better and didn’t even sniff the league
Bryce will be better than all of them
Lmao nah, I agree bronny has no business being drafted this year but Marcus Jordan was actually worse
Hell No Lakers should not draft bronny James, it’s nothing personal world but No
Shut up u ain’t nobody
That's the best move for the team for the future and it'll only cost a late 2nd round pick
Dang, not even for the culture 😂
And you think there are 10 players on that roster now that are consistently better than Bronny? Why not take someone who literally has been taught & trained by LeBron?
@@Bman32x lol... This is the worst take i have seen out of all these bad take
Bronny James is on the same level of Thanasis. Neither should be on an NBA roster but nepotism supercedes that fact.
How YOU go say facts and HE hasn’t even played in the NBA yet facts can’t be disputed not trying to be offensive but that’s not a good character trait stating assumptions as Facts I made myself mindful of doing that as I got older cause WE all have done it
Yeah it’s sad that some hard working kid without a famous daddy won’t get drafted so some team can pity draft bronny to attempt to lure daddy…bronny ain’t nba talent and anyone not swinging from daddies D will see that fact loud n clear.
It's not a fact yet but SAS is right: Bronny will be mercilessly targeted by Pat Beverly & Dillon Brooks. Remember Lavar Ball claiming that his sons will bring rings? Bronny's experience will be a lot worse than Alonzo's.
@@lightfight8r At least Lonzo and Lamelo averaged respectable numbers heading into the draft. Lonzo was clearly overrated but would only play for the Lakers. Lamelo is a better player just both have injury issues. Bronny averaged 5 points a game no kid in college has a shot of making an NBA team with his numbers but because of nepotism Bronny will take an opportunity from someone who has earned and deserves it.
@@jnova707 You're right in that respect :) Nepotism will play a large part in him getting drafted. Lebron seems like the kind of guy who would ensure that his children would get all the benefits that his wealth affords. Contrast that with Shaq for example. Shaq already made it clear to his kids: "you got to earn your keep. My money is mine, not yours. You want money? Go earn it." There is no handout in their future, I think. Shaq's son Shareef is currently toiling in the G League. You wouldn't hear Shaq singing praises about him. He wants Shareef to break into the NBA because of his talents, not because of his dad.
Bronny can't compete in college! Why is this a conversation! Ridiculous!!!!
They're trying to rationalize and repeat the narrative enough that it won't be as shocking when it happens. The media is in on the fix
Cuz the emperor wears no clothes. The nba and owners have rev sharing. They want media to always push the most invested in athlete.
This is why they keep bringing up “entertainment”, before sport.
I thought was r Kelly in the thumbnail Lol 😅
😂😂😂
Naw naw you mistaking me foe somebody else.
Me too
I don't see nothing wrong... Lol 😂😂😂
I believe in bronny but he shouldn't have even made all American McDonald's
He actually played decent in that game.
Wrong, he earned that spot
@@chrisanderson2056BS. Less than 14 pts a game on an average high school team. He wasn't even named to the first team of his league. He got smoked by several players that he got picked over when they played in high school. His placement was one of the worst selections in that game's history.
Correct he ave 13 points in high school he not good
@@diggidy5367😊Q
It’s ridiculous, crazy and assonance to think that Bronny James will get picked by an NBA team. You have a 2Time Dunk Champion, and a G League MVP in MAC McClung waiting to get a fair shot at playing for a real contract in the NBA. MAC McClung is 25.5 PPG, 4.6RPG, and 6.5 APG. Who has ever heard of a NBA prospect who’s only 6’3 averages 4.8 PPG. With 2.8 REB??? Make it make sense…
💯💯
Thank you Steven A for your honesty about Bronny playing with LeBron.
Lebron retires and Anthony Davis gets traded. Lakers need a complete rebuild.
Casual
Dude this the Lakers you talkin about. I think they should draft him in the 2nd round if he there and that's actually not a stretch pick because it's not common for 2nd rounders to make the team. But the Lakers run a business and the Lakers put their greats and business above wins and losses. Magic got part of the team, kobe got 50m after a torn Achilles and when there was no way he was worth it. That's what the Lakers do and that's why legends always go there in free agency. Bronny and Bron together is something the Lakers would do and Laker fans would understand.
Hush boy
I agree LeBalco ruined the lakers
@@TodTatney as did Rob Palinka!! LAKERS won't win again until LeBalco is gone!!
Can we be serious look at his stats. He's barely good enough to be a college player!
🤣💯
I Thought That Was A Picture Of R. Kelly For A Moment.
😂😂 me too😂
Me three 😂😂😂
Hahahahahaaha same
I did to
Me four
If he goes to the nba anybody can make it
Yeah but just anybody won’t make it because not just anybody dad is in the nba
Except Marcus Jordan!!😂
Jon Barry, Luke Walton etc. Man S.A.S you sound Ridiculous why not Bro?
@@danadane6482 Both those players had better college careers than Bronny. They just didn't work in the NBA.
Of course not. The Lakers should rid themselves of lebron.
Personally I hope bronny goes back to college and develops another year or so and can lead a team like he’s capable of.
BUT, the NBA is an entertainment league and I wouldn’t be mad if he’s in the league because love it or hate it we’ll all be entertained 🍿
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He ain't even on Lonzo Ball's level.
He didn't lead his high school team... I hope he goes back to college too
Lmao capable of leading what ? He wasn’t even the best player in high school. The most he avg was a measly 14 ppg.
They drafting the name NOT the player. There are hundreds of baller better than him.
You are wrong...ther are 1000s better than him😂
Goes to show you how scared every media person/ex nba players are scared to say bronny is not nba material yet.
Why yall got this man lookin like R.Kelly on the thumbnail?? lol
😅😅😅💀💀💀
If his name Dwayne Walter he wouldn’t have been a 4 to 5-star recruit, let only being drafted. Ik that sounds harsh but it’s the truth.
It's called "nepotism" and it's supposed to not be allowed.
If you had the opportunity to set your son up for success you'd take it, don't try taking the moral high ground
Glad someone finally said this. Not surprised it’s SAS. 👏👏👏
Everytime windy speaks about James family it's sad to see how such a respected writer dances around his true feelings
Why not
They already screwed up the franchise for the next 5 to 10 years I enjoy watching Austin Reeves play but he’s not gonna be the franchise player here in two years… Anthony Davis will probably be collecting disability
Hell No
Averaging 4.8 points per game, I thought that was a typo
I thought I was looking at R Kelly Jr
Facts
4pts with 20mpg is a disgusting statistic
So the kid averages 5 points 2 boards. Has a health issues. Just think how that plays out. Daddy got you drafted not your skill. Bronny gonna catch those L’s nightly just to send a message
Just know he could live w that. He had been walking that life since birth. You guys are just talking they are making their dreams come Tru. Legacy
@@mytake1465 you assume that is the kids dream. Allay and forever vilified and pressed because he not even close to his legend father.
You know it's a center that only average 9 points and 4 rebounds projected to be the number 1 pick its not all about skills nowadays its about potential and still would've got picked its 2 rounds to a draft and Payton Watson from the nuggets averaged like 3 points in college got drafted still and look at him now
@@grizzlytyme4509 that guy has a more measurable skill set and got nearly zero minutes thus far this playoffs. What exactly is Bronnie potential? Scouts don’t see it. GM’s don’t see it and his collage coach played for kept him near that bench constantly
@@jeanpagette5019 you don't have to see it that don't mean he won't ot can't be great alot of people that's successful or made it nobody saw there'll potential but they put in the work so people could start seeing it and perfected there'll craft anythings possible so the negative approach he's not gonna be good approach im just not hearing because I seen alot of nobody's become somebody so I don't never count anyone out
True Statement, Bonny has a lot more to prove if he wants to play in the NBA after 1 college season!
The LAKERS NEED A New Coach and Kevin Durant 💜🏀💛
At first when i first seen the thumbnail i was like Why is Stephen A comparing Bronny To R.Kelly?! Lol ...
Lmao! 😂🤣😭
That’s R Kelly
Bronny should have did the smart thing and stayed at USC to continue to develop, he's nowhere near NBA ready and I want him to succeed but if we're being real and you watched him last year you didn't see a player close to being NBA ready. He's very challenged offensively I don't think he's comfortable with that aspect of the game yet and I just fear him coming out now is gonna hinder his development and shorten his career
This year is probably going to be the best shot he has at being drafted. No one is going to waste a 2 round draft pick on him except the Lakers and that's only because they want to keep Lebron and the potential revenue that will come with having the first father and son duo in NBA history.
Going back to university should be best. He needs to develop and learn the game from other perspectives. Bronny won't have the luxury and the leverage to do what LeBron has done. He will have to follow instructions unlike his father who dictates. Bronny has far more options and luxuries his college peers don't have.
🎉gz😮😢🎉😂@@erkuza9220
When I first saw the photo of Bronny, I thought he was R. Kelley
I believe I can fly
He might as well go to jail for getting into the league avg 4 off the bench 😂😂
Man I thought that was R.Kelly at first glance lol 😂
Do we get to retire LeBron and Windhorst together?
If he gets drafted, it basically shows the hypocrisy of “if you work hard enough, you can make your dreams come true.” I guess it’s more important to have a father called LeBron.
The Lakers have to make some major moves in the offseason. AD needs more help if the team is going to compete for the title.
R.Kelly TP2 and Double Up CD thumbnail cover!!!! 😂😂😂😂
They will be too much pressure on him if he gets to the lakers or because of his health they might not be any pressure
I hope Lebron will take note of how Thanassis is mocked and excoriated. That might knock him to his senses.
I thought that was Kells 😂
Yea and let him develop in the gleague for about 5 years
Bronny is not nba ready. He needs all 4 years in college.
No hate for Bronny James or King James but Romeo Miller (Lil Romeo) isn’t playing in the NBA and his stats “vaguely” match Bronny James so respectfully idk about this at all…especially considering his heart problems…that’s a reach and it’s socially tasteless to say but it’s still an area of concern imo;
So why is this even a conversation
Stephen A is absolutely right
I don't know who else is going to be available at 55.. we could use a center of a big power fower or a big point pour point gard
I think a normal offseason/preparation for a college season will do wonders for him. Maybe not a first round pick but won’t go u drafted for next year’s draft.
Bron-Bron Jr, ain't ready. I know 7th & 8th graders who would clean Jr's clock out. Stay in college Jr for another year or 2 and get YO GAME RIGHT‼️‼️
You either keep it together around Lebron and AD or Lebron leaves and you trade AD and start over completely
Well said, Stephen A! You are absolutely correct! Bronny has not earned his stripes if he’s drafted because if any other kid with the same skills and same resume at USC, that kid would not be drafted. Period. Maybe he’s a G league player.
I want bronny to work on his craft for another year and to increase his stats.
NO NO way neither deserve that type of notoriety it’s a very special presidence exceptional
Imagine not earning your way into the NBA, but getiing there because of daddy..... the only stats Bronny's is better than is SAS at 1.5 ppg....
The easy answer is no, but I’d love the Lakers to keep mortgaging their future and draft a player who’s not even good enough to be in the Harlem globetrotters.
Nice shirt and chain, Stephen A. God bless bro!
The Thumbnail looks like R. Kelly
If you're grown and surprised by nepotism....
Why every time SAS talks about LBJ he feels like he has to be polite and tiptoe some imaginary line?
I think Brony should stay at USC for at least one year. I have to admit that I am a BIG USC fan. But Brony is not ready for the NBA yet. He has the potential but it needs to be developed. Weather that is at USC ( I hope ) or some other college is a choice for him and his family to make. But if he goes to the NBA at this point it is going to be a disaster that he MAY NEVER recover from.
He is a Miami Heat. Book it!!!!!!
Hell, we're all AVAILABLE... LOL 😂
Bronny looking like RKelly in the thumbnail
His dad can get him drafted, but if he gets on an NBA court his dad won't be able to save him from getting killed
Please don't waste a pick on bronny lakers don't want him hes not ready get young build around ad go Lakers
when u need to draft a meh player to keep a 40 year old player....thats sad bro
Who wants a dude that still hasn't even beat his own dad in a 1 one 1 pickup game lol.. Bronny be lucky if the foreign leagues even want him
If I was in charge, I'd draft Bronny and trade him with his dad to division opponents.
As a Dallas Cowboys fan, this sounds like a Jerry Jones move. Pick a controversial player just to remain relevant or to sell tickets. Not a winning move.
The Lakers will surely select Bronny in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft. Bronny will be the future saviour of the Lakers! He will be continuing his dad's legacy! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is it just me or is sas vibe so chillax bc nyk?
Steaven A I believe this kid would be a fighter and champion in the NBA .
Id love to see bron and his son play and i hope it happens, that being said, isnt this QUITE literally tampering 😂
Stephen A. is absolutely right!💯
Change the picture Like haha RKelly
Let's hope the young man stays healthy and continues his collegiate career somewhere. NBA will be there, if and when that may happen.
Give Paul George, Giannis, and Harden that same energy! Give Dale Earnhardt (rip) that same energy.
2nd round pick. Happy for him
Every time he says "the right..." I have a flash back of Leonardo DiCaprio's character in "Django Unchained."
I love you Stephen A u always on point ❤️❤️
Bronny can defend. He hasn't shown enough offensively yet.
Great job Mr.Stephen.❤
I don’t ever want hear about nepotism ever again
Man you got guards scoring 0 points in games, Bronny can do that! The Lakers need to draft him and let him learn the game on the bench
Stephen A is right on this
Bronny has the thinking ability to be successful in any league
Get your son in the league, F the haters.
He needs to stay in school. He cant even be in the G League
Comin from u lil boy who doesnt know how to play basketball yeah 😂😂😂
@@bashercleaner863 you don't need to be a basketball player to notice his deficiencies yet. I want bronny to in spurs somebody where he can become of the guards together with wemby. bronny need more time to mature and prepare mentally and physical specially after what happen last year.
@@bashercleaner863It always be the “lil boys” like you calling other people lil boys lmao🤣
It worked wonders for thanasis....lol.
Nepotism at its finest
Would be hilarious if the Lakers drafted Bronny and didn't resign LeBron
You TALKING REAL REAL FACTS MY BROTHER!!🔥🔥🔥
He can’t want it more than Bronny 🤦🏾
Well said
I 1000% agree with Steven A. This will be a huge mistake
I think he goes back another yr at college and bron leave for Philly
He's not going back to USC unless he's cracking books. USC is an elite school and there r plenty good players coming out of hs better that a guy w scar tissue from a heart attack. I'm not making fun of him but they just did his Dad a favor but he is a liability and they had the Dr's give him limited mins. He shouldn't have played at all. He hadn't fully healed from heart surgery. I bet the had a heart doctor on stand by.
