Wow! Finally, an honest perspective on Bronny. ESPN's coverage of Bronny is simply embarrassing.
Facts
It was so well articulated and an honest critique
Bronny aint doing nothing but camping in the corner like call of duty
lmao 😭😭😭😭
He doesn’t even have to do that. With a guaranteed contract all he has to do is sit at the end of the bench and throw daddy a towel and get him water, sit back and enjoy the game at his front row seat!!!
U sure about that?
hes gonna spawn camp in the nba
Yea, just like his dad…………
"You are only a dad cause your reflexes are slow..." 😯😯😯 Diabolical Bo
That’s facts!! It’s hard to come up out of there when deep blue sea😂😂
@@dametwalker5977he lost his confidence and his jumpshot cause he usually makes his three point shots and now it’s like he’s missing them all of them like wtf bruh yeah he lost his confidence straight up bruh and it’s crazy because he was making three point shots in high school and now it’s like he can’t make them in the nba that’s just crazy
@Antawanknight780 long way to say he's not ready to play for the pros.
One of the best lines ever! I’m definitely gonna use this one as a clap back
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠😂😂😂😂😂😂🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
The discourse would not be so bad if the media was not glazing Bronny/LeBron at every opportunity.
I laughed my ass off seeing a clip on Paul Pierce, who is usually a voice of reason on the dreck that is Undisputed, he was making excuses for the dude's poor performance thus far and then they mentioned some other guy who was balling in summer league and just had like a 26 point game and Pierce basically said it didn't matter and questioned what he was gonna do in the regular season. Hilarity.
This is on Bron
That's the thing I don't get. How do you get in the league based purely off of your last name, but we're supposed to treat you like a number 55 draft pick? It's nonsensical! All Bronny had to do was play baseball or football. But he chose to play basketball at 6'1. At some point, he's going to have to prove himself to be taken seriously. Don't nobody care about him being a kid and having fun. Fans aren't going to spend their money to buy the jersey of a guy who is the same height as them and can't do anything spectacular.
This is on the “fans” and viewers that keep the ratings going for this Laker reality show. They wouldn’t talk about LeBron and wouldn’t have hyped Bronny to begin with if there weren’t an audience for this nonsense. It’s the same simps that pack your home arena wearing Laker and Lebron gear once or twice per season, who’ve never even been to LA and are obsessed with the celebrity aspect of the Lakers and LeBum. And the Laker fans in LA for getting what they wanted and handing over the keys to the franchise to King James. You wanted him…you got him. We all tried to warn you. But it’s your fault. You are the audience for this horrendous reality show! They just keep adding more twists to keep them watching!!! Thanks.
Jordan didn't draft his sons and he actually owned a team, he knew they didn't have it and that awareness is part of what makes him the GOAT
Amazing perspective on centering the conversation around Bronny. Lebron putting his kid on like this is the intersection of nepotism and narcissism.
I’m surprised more people ain’t pointing out Lebron’s narcissism!
This is Lebron’s crowning achievement- at the cost of his son.
And LeBron couldn't even give the kid his own name - he had to be a junior! smh
I thought I was the only person who thought this. The best thing for Bronny is to stay in school and develop his game and gain confidence. Lebron forced him into the NBA so that he could have his moment.
This won't help the kid at all.
Yep y’all kno what’s best for Bronny …🤦🏾♂️. Nobody got Dads in theses comments 😂😂😂😂
This is all about Lebron and Klutch sports that developed an agenda years ago to one up Michael Jordan by any means necessary because he insecure
And it’s gonna go to shit unless the fix is in 😂😂😂
Jordan had a chance to draft his oldest son Jeffrie and didn't, he knew his boy just didnt have it. I've always been adamant that Jordan is the GOAT, and his lack of BS compared to LeBron really hammers it home
6’1 is short in the NBA and to survive u gotta have super powers ….like Allen iverson at that height
And Chris Paul
It’s not superpowers. FVV is 6’0 and was playing the 2. You just gotta be able to be a killer scorer or defend, two things Bronny can’t do
Having actually met AI on two occasions (once in the DMV on the street and once in the ATL at a bar --both by happenstance) I can say that he isn't even 6'1" more like 5'11". I am 6'1" and was clearly taller them him which made his accomplishments even more amazing...and he is a really, really cool dude too! Much respect to Iverson.
Thank you man and I am a UNC TarHeel fan and RJ Davis the reigning ACC player of the year avg 21.4 PPG in the ACC and didn't even get invited to the combine man 😔
@@KingFlexo916rj Davis went back to school
This whole thing was far more about Lebron wanting to play with his son than it ever was about Bronny's actual ability to play in the NBA at this point of his life.
period.
Enough said 🫳🏾🎤
This. All of this. Period.
LeBron already won being a better father than his dad just by being in Bronny's life. I fear sometimes people try to overcompensate and be the parent "they" wished they had instead of just being a parent who's present.
@@kiroolioneaver8532 this was worded perfectly…
Bronny is still on the high school level skill wise. Even Stevie Wonder can see it... 😂
This reminds me of when Mike Tyson fought Joe Frazier's son. That fight lasted 15 seconds, with Marvis Frazier suffering a brutal knockout. After Marvis was counted out, Tyson, who was concerned, tried to pick him up from the canvas and later told reporters how much respect he had for Joe Frazier.
Bronny is going to be on the court with 5 Mike Tysons every night.
Marvis was a good pro. That one of the greatest knockout artists of all time and the most unstoppable boxer of the time knocked him out doesn't mean Marvis was a bum. Spinks was a bum too by your logic. HA! Hilarious. Bronny is garbage. My little girl is 6', d1 starter for 3 years, she isn't going to the wnba next year. She might get a shot overseas. I guarantee she would not only put up better stats given the same playing time, she would not embarrass herself. Bronny is a complete embarrassment. Kinda like when George Foreman absolutely destroyed the heavyweight champion of the world, Joe Frazier.
That's quite the analogy. Whoa!
@@timhall5382 You're strawmaning. I didn't call anyone a bum. Those are your words sir. Your boy got koed in 15 seconds. It is what it is. Bronny is going to get that work too.
@@thescribe3184 a 19 year old with little to no experience, playing semipro basketball against people with some experience reminds you of a boxer who had fought for the heavyweight championship of the world when he was 10-0 and got another shot at the title when he was 17-1. One of these things is not like the other.
This is brons fault.
Bron forcing Bronny onto the Lakers may be the most high-profile case of child abuse EVER.
Riiiiiiiiiiight
WoW, you might be on to something...... " you're going to play basketball weather you like it or not"
LeBron said that to Bronny
@@robertandrecrawford7243lmao how tf do you know that lol social media has ppl thinking they know everything
No LIE WHEN I READ THE MOST HIGH-PROFILE CASE OF CHILD ABUSE I SPIT MY DRINK OUT MY MOUTH!!! It’s almost as fun as people calling Bronny a Make-A-Wish kid 😂
Actual children being in the world being abused btw
Bronny didn’t even look excited about being drafted.
His dad is a billionaire. He would rather sit at home and play Call of Duty.
He knew he was getting drafted so it wasn't a surprise. The fix was in just like everything else in his life.
Why be excited when everything including being drafted is handed to you? It’s like a video game where you have all the cheats and it’s no longer a challenge. I’m putting it in these terms in case Bronny is reading this and maybe it will make sense to him!! 😮😂😅.
Bomani said it right. Can’t be proud of what you didn’t earn. Bronny knows he didn’t earn that shit.
@@sethstine4698 I'd be partying and getting laid all the time but maybe the way the laws are, men can't really do that these days. Wouldve caught a charge
It went from "ShowTime" with Lakers to "ClownTime" with the Lakers
MAKE ME A BICYCLE, BRON
Ja Morant is 6’2 (really 6’1 3/4) and weighs about 30 lbs less than Bronny maybe? But we see what he does on the court lol so to your point, you have to damn near be a Ja Morant at that size lol
Just Have Game Regardless If You Can Jump Out The Gym Or Not
Jalen Brunson too, bronny doesn’t sniff their skill levels tho
Some of the delusional people that are swallowing this Bronny scam up will say well what about Patrick Beverly? I tell them a simple research will show that Pat Bev was a scoring machine in HS and College and his defense definitely jumped out at any level.
You either have to be able to shoot, handle the ball well, or play amazing defense.
Ja looks 6 3 same as Steph but could be 6 2".
Lebron set his son up for humiliation & failure, rather than helping him develop on his own. He lied to his son and gassed him up to go into the draft..... Plus, you have to WANT IT, you can't play at the pro level when it's gifted to you. It's DESTROYED his confidence now, when he should have transferred to a decent school to LEARN basketball play. He's far far far from ready, and no guarantee he has level skills.
Pure facts man I really feel bad for bronny. Bron should know better his son was not ready for the pros. It’s honestly sad.
Excellent analysis that is succinct and well-intended.
@@paintballJohn2 I do too because even my untalented ass suffered from confidence issues at game time, but never in practice. Plus, if you have the skills you work on the muscle memory to excel, he didn't have the skill yet and at his height, his skills have to be superior. You must have Great handle, great shooting, great defender, if your under 6'5" in the NBA. Because you never have length of height to depend on
“Just because you’re a father, doesn’t mean you’re good at it.” Sir, you’d better PREACH!!!
I don't think questioning LeBron parenting is warranted.
I don't think questioning LeBron parenting is warranted.
I think there's an argument for instituting what the NHL does; you can get drafted, participate in July prospect camp, and return to college while the team retains your rights for a few years (iirc).
Agreed!
Great point. That should absolutely happen. Bronny has a shot to be a role player in the vein of GP2 but its hard to see a higher ceiling that. Still, he has a ways to go.
I think that would be fair in this situation
That’s what the G-League is supposed to be
The nba does have something similar where you can enter the draft but not hire a agent so you could keep your college eligibility
The young man should be at USC , collecting NIL money and having fun while improving himself academically , socially and in the court. Instead he is on the lakers looking lost for the sake of his father.
Thank you for the highly rational, objective and decent comment.
Your the first person to mention social too. He needs work their too. This is Savanah son. This is a mommas boy, i can tell.
Nah. It doesn’t really matter. He won’t need a college degree, and another year in USC is not going to miraculously make him an NBA talent. He’s got generational wealth now, he can do what he wants without college or being an NBA player. He’ll get followers on social media, do something with gaming and live off being Bronny James. I ain’t worried for him.
i'd just party and get laid all the time, I wouldnt give a single fuck about the nba
At 1st it was funny. Now I feel bad for the kid.
Why? His father saw it coming, and didn't protect him from some serious hubris.....
Bronny is going to fail into his millions and a successful Twitch career. I feel bad for the players fighting to get their mama out the hood with significantly less resources.
@@Christian-eq6pq maybe. But to be that young and be humiliated on national tv is tough. Even if he’s rich.
Its like the caitlin clark hype but she was able to figure it out… idk about bronny
@@BabySpit but none of that was her fault. Plus she was super star in college so that’s different. At least there was some evidence for her hype. Like I said to be that young having that many people saying you’re trash is tough. Plus his dad’s shadow. I feel for the kid.
"Some of you ... are only a dad because your reflexes are slow" ... Got DAMN that was cold! 😂 🤜🎤
lets call it for what it is...Bron's ego caused all of this. Now Bronny is going to be embarassed forever with all these summer league clips
This is Bron’s crowning achievement at the cost of his son.
Bronny is a Yong man, and he could have put a stop to this before it got blown out of proportion.
Why would you paint a bullseye on your kid’s back? I would have bought him a company and called it a day.
Daddy LeBron doesn’t care about the long term success or sustainability of his son. He cares about his fantasy and false accolade of playing in an NBA game with his adult son. It’s his fantasy and his expectation that Bronny is an NBA talent. It also shows how little LeBron knows about player development and talent scouting which explains a lot about the overall success of the Lakers roster for few years ever since the franchise gave him the keys to team! Makes sense now!!!! LeBron can hoop but he doesn’t know anything about how to build a roster!
We are making too much out of it. It’s cool for Lebron but not for Bronny. He wasn’t that excited at draft day because he knows he didn’t earn it but it was a proud moment for the parents
Bro I remember when it happen I was happy for Bron ( his crowning achievement) not for Bronny with the biggest target on his back.
@@jeffsamuels2539 So how is it a crowning achievement for Lebron if it's not great for Bronny?
@@TA-ht4jo you’re asking the wrong question. It’s not about Bronny.
Lebron playing in the league, long enough and effective enough for his son to get drafted is his only argument to be the goat. Idk if you watched Jordan or not but that’s the one thing he has over Jordan.
You have indeed said "the last word."
Bronny had a heart attack on the floor last year in college... A HEART ATTACK AT 18!! How is this cool for Lebron? If my son had a heart attack playing a sport, you best believe I wouldn't be pushing him into taking his involvement in said sport to the most compititive, pressure filled level in the world. No, it's not a "good parent move"
Lowry and VanVleet are 6’ tall but they have grit and talent. Also didn’t grow up as wealthy elites.
Bingo.
They have super powers
Seth Curry is 6'0
FVV also went undrafted and worked his way through the summer league to earn a spot
Payton Pritchard
Being LBJ’s son on any campus in America has to be better than getting cooked in summer league guaranteed contract or not.
Yeah but college work is boring and takes time away from gaming.
Oh wait, basketball players don’t go to class and do homework and study. My bad. Yeah he should have stayed in “college”. Lots of hot girls at USc too!
yea be the rich party dude and get laid all the time. an unending supply of 19-21 year olds I wouldnt give a shit about the nba. I'd be a bench player at a school like alabama or florida state and just party all the time
Well said, Bo. My sentiments exactly. LeBron just sent his kid from the frying pan to the fire.
I genuinely feel bad for the kid. His summer league struggles are being magnified and I'm sure that's stinging him and his pops. All the while, Dalton Knecht is wrecking shop and not getting the shine he deserves. Its a damn shame.
Playing with your son isn’t an accomplishment if the son isn’t deserving of the position. This is insane, and ultimately cruel to Bronny. There’s a reason he won Call of Duty, the other players don’t have time for childish games
LeBron lives in his own world. He only cares about himself and blames others when things don’t work out. He doesn’t understand anything about how to build a roster and yet he’s meddled in the franchise’s decisions on players and contracts for years now! ….he doesn’t care that the franchise wasted a whole pick just so he can fulfill some lame fantasy of playing in an NBA game with your adult kid. And yet every year when they bow out of the playoffs or have to go to the play-in tourney he has that disgruntled frustrated face like he can’t figure out what’s going on. It’s ridiculous.
😂😂
"Just because you're a [parent], doesn't mean you're good at it."
"You can't be proud of something you didn't earn."
There are A LOT of people in society that need to hear and marinate on those two statements...
I remember that night he was drafted. I went on twitter, and NOBODY was calling it out! I couldn’t believe it. It was bizarro world.
At #55? No. If it was #8? Of course.
People were still ready to give the kid a break because not everybody had seen him play. And it was #55.
I been a Laker fan since 1996. Or was a Laker fan. Lebron never felt right on this team. He’s more a mercenary than a laker. Now they’ve traded away the future, hired a coach and wasted a draft pick on him. I used to be a fan but I cannot stand lebron anymore and his chokehold on the league. I’ll be happy to see him retire.
I honestly feel bad for you. I cheered for the Lakers back in the 80’s with the Showtime Lakers and later on, when Phil Jackson went to coach the Lakers. But this is just pathetic.
@@JudahTribe-lt3ur you feel bad for me and this is pathetic. Do you have a point to make or are we just discussing your emotions?
@@dwoodstwin Tour team was one of my the most glorified organizations in sports, and now this ? Wowwwww!! What a nightmare
@@JudahTribe-lt3ur I think I misread your comment. My bad
@@dwoodstwin Oh that’s ok 😊
finally someone with common sense
10 years ago I learned that I have slow reflexes‼️😂🤦🏽♂️ Those reflexes gave me the best son a man could ask for💯💚
Bronny out there looking like a Make-a-wish kid when he playing
The only pressure on that kid is coming from his own father. Everyone else suggested he stay in college and develop. He should have listened to them.
Not really! almost every major sports show, talking heads at ESPN, And most people had Bronny as a 2nd round pick. I know this because at the time I felt like the lone voice in calling this out as a complete sham. Even when he was picked, most Laker fans, their media and even the ESPN daytime sports shows all accepted this as a legit draft pick etc. now the backlash has me confused. I can’t be the only one who saw this coming!
The fatherhood argument doesn't move me as a Dad, especially if I was in the position of lebron james financially I wouldn't want to step on the dreams of another kid just to satisfy my own selfish ego by forcing my kid into a position he doesn't deserve. The best thing Lebron could have done for his son as a ball player is allow him to develop in college not take away somebody else's opportunity
Please indulge my tinfoil hat theory (all in good fun). LeBron wanted to one-up Michael Jordan, whose sons didn't make it to the NBA. Pause for a second, and if it makes you snicker, thanks. If you say, that's b.s.!, walk away, I was just shooting the sh*t. Peace!
@willingexile3374 if Lebron ever thought that is a good reason he is even more narcissistic than believed cause at least Jordan was truthful to and about his sons. He told them they don't have what it takes to be in the league. Lebron is lying to his son and the world that Bronny does and making his son go through embarrassment and I'm sure life long issues.
@@willingexile3374 it sounds ridiculous but it definitely crossed my mind because lebron is obsessed with controlling the narrative on him being better than Jordan to the point he has klutch sports operatives in the media spreading his propaganda nick wright, Shannon Sharpe etc.. the thing is MJ could have imposed his will given that he was an actual owner but didn't exercise that power, lebron did so as a player exercise his power and force a non NBA talent on to a team, it won't reflect positively on him in the future in my opinion and doesn't enhance his legacy at all
@@user78738 Marcus was actually semi-decent and could have made a career as a role player in the NBA, even without Jordan exerting influence. Still, it would be too much pressure to live up to Michael's legacy and they already had generational wealth. Smarter move for both his sons to focus on careers outside the NBA.
Bron slept with Buss, only logical explanation
Celtics: we’re the kings of the NBA now with 18 championships.
Lakers: we have a guy and his son, together on the same team!!!
The Lakers are reading the directions to checkers while the Celtics are playing chess.
The optic to this is very unfortunate. First, I push the nepotism to the side; it’s not relevant in my opinion and his parents have earned the right to practice it in my opinion. The part that is unfortunate is that it looks like this young man’s development time table was scrapped to fit his father’s dream.
Maybe but a couple more years in college is not going g to make him an NBA player. Nothing wrong with being a college hooper, getting a degree and moving along in life at whatever venture or career. But I think LeBron’s dream of his son playing in NBA is his dream and it’s so strong he’s blinded by it and can’t see the reality.
It took me a little bit to understand why this is so bad, but now I understand.
Regular Nepotism is designed to set up your kid for success. It’s about making sure they have an advantage because you worked to secure it for them.
This is different. Lebron is NOT doing this for Bronny. If he was, he would have arranged for him to go to a better college and get coached by Bill Self or Roy Williams. This is about Lebron artificially accelerating his son’s development because his own years in the league are numbered. THAT is what makes this bad.
Bomani gave the best anti-DEI speech I have heard in a very long time! Kudos
he should've played soccer. 🤷♂
6:19 and mariners fans loved Griffey Sr. in a way we don’t see Lakers fans loving Lebron. So when they also got Griffey Jr. it was the best news ever for those fans. And he’s now on the Mt Rushmore of Mariners players. All time fan favorite. He embraced the city, loved the city. Still shows up for it.
I guess it’s just bc we’ve been told this for 3-4 years now. “I’m going to play for whatever team Bronny is on.” So it’s just like yeah. He told us. So I’m not surprised.
If it was really Bronny's dream to play in the nba. Someone needs to check on this kids mental health. This has been an extremely bad decision to draft him and put him in this position. He is not ignorant and knows he is where he's at bcoz of who his father is. He does not look like he enjoying this at all. He is also hearing all the talk.
The sad part is he really thinks he earned his spot. He has stated in many interviews that he "worked hard" to get to the league. He is delusional cause his father and NBA players have boosted him up.
@@mjgfromDDD Bronny have to stick with that narrative since he already have his contract and roster spot.
Can’t be proud of something you didn’t earn is a great statement. Look at KDs face after winning the first one in Golden State and this explains that perfectly.
The issue with Bronny isn’t the fact that he isn’t talented enough to play in the NBA. The issue is that he’s not remotely close. The whole concept is insulting.
"Your reflexes are slow" funniest shit I've heard in weeks
Bronny is no AI, Mugsy, Morant, and Spud. These dudes had inner drives. Bronny? He just glad he's LB#23 son.
How can you your options go from (1) staying on a bad High Level D1 team-USC (2) Transfer to Duquesne University a decent Mid-Major D1 or (3) Play in the NBA...And mind you on none of these teams would he be the man on or play point as a 6'1" Guard.
As soon as i heard Double Dragon i had to subscribe. That was one of the first games that the enemies actually fought back, instead of just hopping on sh#t like Mario. Def a classic game man!
Bomani would be glazing Bronny if he wasn't fired from ESPN😆
Mr. Jones... thank you for your honesty.
This is one of the best takes ive heard on this so far. The point about him not being able to finish school and have fun. Also not being able to really enjoy this.
Thank you Bomani Jones for telling the truth! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Yeah, Bo, we're gonna have that contrived "historic" moment, with LBJ & Bronny.
Now, considering that LeBron had enough "influence" to force an NBA team to squander a roster spot and salary on his son, my question would be, how long must a player remain in the league, before he is eligible for the lifetime pension? Is LeBron THAT damn strong that he'd be able to earn his son a lifetime paycheck?
Setting your son up for failure is the last thing a good father would do.
Whats amazing about KGjr is his talent justified him spending minimal time playing in the minors where a lot of 19yos have to work hard and prove their merit. Bron had the talent to do this, but not Bron jr
I got into it with this brother on Twitter once. He had all the time and smoke lol
It took me a little bit to understand why this is so bad, but now I understand.

Bronny should be in college! There’s no reason why he needs to play in the league now.
Bo preciate you bro for speaking out about this. The main stream media and most athletic media are refusing to speak the obvious truth.
The sad thing is that only lebalco fans think this was a great move. He is not ready bottomline
Bomani is right this whole situation was a clown 🤡 move. The whole Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr situation is exactly what LeBron is trying to do and he pretty much did it through a make a wish given to him by the Lakers because he's already a billionaire he considers this something that's priceless like. Lakers sent Kobe away with a contract they shouldn't have gave a deteriorating player they're sending LeBron away with a contract and being able to play with his son and of course LeBron thinks this is another feather in his calling himself the goat Legacy but again it's a clown show.
2:43
Call BS
b4 you finished.
Bronny can dunk straight off his vertical, never saw Zeke nor
Bubbachuck do that!
I guess Giannis’ brother is not good for the Bucks either. I don’t understand grown people hating on this kid. You will not determine Bronny’s destiny because it’s his path. All of these players on the bench of the Lakers who have been playing for years and are not getting better should be your focus. Not a kid who is two weeks into summer league! Mind boggling
It's not hate, it's clear analysis. Giannis brother was DRAFTED and not by the bucks🤷♂️. But he probably shouldn't be on the team either, but he's not THIS BAD either
@@desmondjefferson2127 This kid will get better and become a good pro. Lebron wanted him on the team and the Lakers made it happen. No, he is not at pro level yet, but he will work on his craft to get better. I can judge Bronny in February because he will have played against other pros for a longer period of time. I see what you see about his game right now, but he will get better.
@@glennstarks9974 gLEn can you stop the pool? Giannis‘s brother was averaging 14 points in the G league nine points overseas before he actually came in the NBA and was on the bucks stop the bull crap he has multiple 30 point games. This kid is garbage stop? One guy is 6 foot eight the other guy 6 foot one stop the crap get LeBron‘s nuts out of your mouth.
It’s not hate it’s obvious he can’t play jn the nba bro. I wanted Bronny to do well since he had a lot of hate buts it’s clear he doesn’t have what it takes.
@@paintballJohn2 How do you know from four games because he is still raw! Bol Bol, Cam, and Jackson H. are in the league and they are still developing as first round picks. Patience is key with this kid. Criticism is good for him, but just give him a chance to develop a bit more. Critical analysis will help him get better.
I’ve been a Lebron fan for 20 years and been called all types of names for defending the King right…. I called this nepotism and for the first time I got called a Lebron hater 😂 20 YEARS
Bring back the Lebron tweet about Bronny being better than most these cats on league pass 😂
It looked like double dragon mayne!😂😂😂 you cold for that one
He couldn’t think of a fat guy in the league who has hops: Zion.
7:22 you started losing your mind lmfao PAUSE
😂😂😂😂
I think this was a well-thought out and explained perspective, Bo.
Bronny out here lookin like Marvis Frazier
Bomani keeps it real
I'm a Wizards fan. Let me put it this way. This is a Wizards adjacent move.
No. The wizards are a dumb franchise. I still can't believe y'all traded deni 😅. Y'all are bums. We've been competing ever since bron's 2nd year on this team. We are not the same. Bronny in the 2nd round is a flyer, and the kid is actually talented. If ue doesn't work out we wasted the 55th pick. If he does then we have gotten one of the better 55th picks in draft history. It's the 55th pick. Wizards pick people who are out the league when they NEED them to contribute to the team. Y'all dont have elite talent over there, can't afford to mess up your draft. We honestly can...we did get dalton though. And he's probably going to be better than sarr this year 😂. Y'all suck frfr
Payton Watson played 12.7 minutes a game in college, Bronny played 20
Finally somebody from mainstream media who isn't scared as hell to keep it 100.
Bo ribs me the wrong way sometimes , but his brutal honesty about his own experience as a child of exceptional parents may have gotten me interested to pay more attention to his channel.
Bronny is not good for the Lakers? He’s not good for USC either.
He's not good for my king and my goat lebron Ramon James either 😪

@@lamarlashley8738 Your king got this one wayyyyyyy wrong. What the hell was he thinking about saying Bronny was ready for the NBA? I watched Bronny struggle terribly at USC, and his parents watched a lot of these games , and his dad thought this was a good idea to get him in the league? Wowwwwww!!
@@JudahTribe-lt3ur my king 🤴🏾 was thinking of his own media attention and not bronny.
Has anyone taken a second to think Bronny's heart condition is why he got drafted? Giving him a chance to live his dream and his father's dream to play with him. We don't know if his condition is completely healed? Just 5 months ago, he was on a strict minutes restriction.
I’m taking Troy Bolton over Bronny James
That’s right Bo u tell ‘em getting your kid millions and them living there dream is horrible lock lebron up for 20 years at least then send bronny to college until people that hate lebron approve it first.
Incoming rant..
This Bronny/LeBron situation deserves a more nuanced conversation than what I typically hear from media personalities.
First of all LeBron ruined Bronny’s basketball development. From the beginning of Bronny’s AAU career he’s been playing on stacked teams. He’s never even been a top 3 player on any of those teams. Then once Bronny got to High School LeBron sent him to Sierra Canyon with at least 6 other highly ranked/recruited players where he was just a corner specialist just waiting for his teammates to correct open shots for him until his senior year when he really impressed people with his athleticism and defense.
LeBron never forced Bronny to be anything other than a role player. AAU/High School role players simply do not make it to the NBA. Those players rarely even play high-major D1 basketball. Current NBA role players like Pat Beverly, Josh Hart, Lu Dortz, etc. were always the best player on their teams until they got the league and had to find a role to be successful. Before reaching the NBA those guys were the reason their teams lost or won at the end of the day. Bronny never was that guy and now hes being embarrassed in Summer League, where 95% of the players don’t even make it onto a NBA roster come regular season.
However we can’t lie, LeBron has done more than for this league financially than any other player in NBA history. If someone were to the research and do the numbers, I guarantee LeBron is directly responsible for how popular and profitable the league is today. So in the final years of his career, I think he should be able to play with his son if that’s what he really wants because he’s earned that privilege in my opinion.
Bronny should just have been more intelligent and self-aware to be reject his dad’s wants. Bronny should still be in college developing because now he’s a 6-1 shooting guard that can’t really shoot, can’t create offense for himself or his teammates. He can’t run an offense and his handles aren’t that good. I just feel bad for him.
Great analysis and you’re right about Bronny never being the man on his team til senior year
He should’ve developed Bronny like Gil and Melo are developing their sons. Sierra Canyon was the worst possible school. They didn’t allow Bronny to develop as a scorer and they don’t even develop good pros either
Great take and perspective. I totally agree and yes Patrick Beverley is a Chicago high school basketball legend and was an absolute beast offensively to prove your point. I jus hate Lebron put this on this kid smh but on the bright side Bronny won 🏆 the call of duty tournament in summer league!!! 😂
Patrick Beverley averaged 37 points his senior year with 6 rebounds 6 assists and 8 steals a game… NBA role player…
THIS WAS A SUKKA FREE TAKE AND HONEST OPINION. WONDERFUL
Bo keeping it real. Impressive take, and accurate. Cool for Bo to talk about his own situation. Now lets see ESPN or Inside the NBA or even the Stating Lineup on SiriusXM follow suit. Not to knock the kid down so much as call it out for what it is.
Never forget when daddy said he's better than some of his current laker teammates
Since ehen did the basketball media ever talked about a second round pick like this ever?! Why do people even care so much??
Bronny getting a secured contract on the Lakers makes as much sense as a bald headed guy wearing a T-shirt with an afro pic on it😩
What I hate is how everyone in the media is acting like he earned this position and contract. And that his dad had nothing to do with it lol 😂😂😂 feels like I’m watching wrestling
I don’t blame Lebron for trying it. But I TOTALLY blame the NBA for cooperating with him. Make the NBE look like the WWE
Haters always try to prove they are right , most disgusting part of their nature is how twisted they get when they are proven wrong. Bronny have taken the first step. He has handled the first wave of haters well. The next phase is coming and I know he will handle that well too.
Fatherhood is more important than any sports entertainment job easily
Everyone wants to not treat Bronny like Lebron until the night he got drafted.
If you want to play with your son then that’s fine. The problem is how he’s hyped the kid with the stuff he’s said then when asked about playing together you tell everyone that you haven’t talked about it. Nobody likes to be lied to right…? So this is the problem ppl have with Lebron is the LIES!! 😂 To say you’re not doing something while I’m watching you do it is preposterous 😂
“Reflexes” 😂
Ja Morant, Allen Iverson, Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving, Isaiah Thomas(Pistons), Spud Webb, Mugsy Bogues, Nate Archibald, Calvin Murphy, Nate Robinson, and Avery Johnson are just a handful of guys 6'1 or shorter that EARNED their place on an NBA roster.
Bronny's biggest mistake is going to a football school for a potential basketball career. Arizona or UCLA would've been a better choice for college hoops. He honestly should've left Cali for Michigan State or Kansas maybe other Blue Blood programs where he'll learn the game like Kentucky, Duke, UConn, UNC, or Villanova.
And Bomani admits that sports is not a total meritocracy. Well that’s like being a little bit pregnant. Especially, when there are participants in all professional sports , that will readily say, that theres players in their league that don’t belong. There are ppl in the HOF that don’t belong and players not in the HOF that would be in there if it was based on merit.
I had the exact same thoughts as Bo. This is extremely wack because the didn't even give Bronny the opportunity to earn it for himself. Even though Bronny was highly overrated as a high school player, a lot of knowledgeable people saw him as a solid upper-end 4 start recruit that could be a possible first round draft pick after AT LEAST 2 years of college but 3 would be more reasonable.
When bro started talking about daddies and reflexes 😂😂😂
Bronny playing the wrong sport. That boy could be an elite NFL DB with his size and coordination
Bomani on old Twitter was pure fireworks!
