It seems like they never played on the court before, you would think he could’ve picked up some tips,moves something. No summer pick up games against the Banana crew.

Well said
Hes literally playing better than the 2nd overall pick wtf are you talking about averaging 12.5 pts on like 47% FG the past 2 games and able to block shots pretty well for a 6'1.5 guard good lateral movement high upside to be a defensive player already 200+ lbs at 19 and will prob lean out overtime and get more built.
Some community college kids play better 😂
Caliber***
Bronny needs to be somewhere spending his dad's money
And playing video games lol
😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂
BINGO
right on 😂
dad got him his own deal, was it 7.9 mil - 4 years or something like that so he can spend "his own" money
The Media create the hype for a 55th pick. They forget about 1st and 2nd pick.
What did brown do when he was the second pick in summer league lol I’ll wait for ur answer
@@hermanarchuleta8341Brown EARNED his spot, it wasn't given to him. Who was the Finals Mvp, I'll wait for your answer 😂😂 That's the difference between having the POTENTIAL which Brown had and not having it like Bronny.

@@JT_Paxl they gone ignore that bro. Bronny not allowed to struggle or develop. He gota be the best right now 😢
He dropped 12 pts and everyone acting like he tuff now😂😂
It’s crazy bruh. I seen dudes with big platforms saying he proved the haters wrong and is now dominating the summer league. Even some cats saying dude is a day one 6th man. It’s crazy af
He barely played 20 minutes though? And he played his best game so far this summer!
@@tarikdebarge 95% of players he played against in the summer league are not going to the NBA 😂
To be fair 12pts is well above where you’d expect him to be at the 55th pick
What have you done in life 😂😂
It’s just disrespectful to the game at this point
Honestly!!!

“Everyone is rooting for bronny”? Who is that everyone? Apart from lebron apologists and fangirls who defended lebron forceful approach in demanding lakers to draft him and take a roster spot, nobody cares if he’s out of the league tomorrow. People are just annoyed why is he in the spotlight all the time. Just let the situation develop naturally. Nobody needs daily updates of him
Realize his agent threatened if he was drafted by another team he was going to play in Turkey. Any other scenario would’ve been better for him, stay in college for another year. What was the rush? Could’ve sold NBA signed jerseys, but no Lebron made this mess.
So if you like lebron you’re either a fan girl or an apologist? And why are you on this if you don’t give af about bronny, it’s called watch what you are into, if you don’t wanna see lebron or bronny then don’t. I don’t randomly watch news and shit about curry or Jordan or Jason Tatum, and guess what I’m not commenting on any video about them either. I guess it’s because I don’t give af about them so why would I talk about them other than to be a complainer
Preach brother !
@@steve13191 well said!
❤ I think what he is saying is that "that is a lot of pressure for any young person to have to face." Bronny seems like a good guy, who anybody would want the best for. I just think he is in a situation that his father is creating, where people are not buying what he's selling and it is becoming a turn off.
Everyone in the league who worked hard to get there will hate him.
Like who Steph curry? Last I checked his dad was in the NBA don’t tell me he got there himself. Oh I forgot about Kobe, Oh what about Seth curry? Keep that same energy.
they won't
Everything isn't about Lebron. That is the whole problem.
Just mentioning his name gets them paid. Also happened with MJ but not Kobe, they have always hated that man, Rip mamba.
Try telling LeBron that
@@Vito_Caligiuri Try telling the Lakers that. 😁
Lebron is making everything about him and THAT is the problem; it's why lakers are going to be irrelevant as an organization for the next 10 years.
How do yall miss this point? In this case IT IS!! He’s the only reason Bronny is in the league!!🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
How bout the media stop covering him so much for doing nothing? Boom. Problem solved
He brings in ratings, they wont. Just have to stop watching or comenting
@JohnJohn-do2oj that mf won't bring no rating in nall nba game
Shhh people aren't allowed to be logical here
who's forcing you to click on this?
The problem is that Players shouldn’t be allowed to control the team’s decisions …..you are paid to play.

@@bangaamen501but why did he get 13 years?
For anyone saying “well it’s the 55th pick, why is this a big deal?” Well…let’s see who the 55th pick was in 2023. It was Isaiah Wong. What were his accolades?
• 2022-23 ACC Player of the Year, All-ACC First Team and ACC All-Tournament Team honoree.
• Finalist for the 2022-23 Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year and Lute Olson National Player of the Year awards. • One of 15 players selected to the 2022-23 Wooden Award National Ballot.
• In 2022-23, led Miami in scoring (16.2 ppg) as the team won a school-record-tying 29 games and made the Final Four for the first time.
Notice the difference?
Wong scored 24 two nights ago. Ten times as good as Bronny.
Yeah, but his daddy isn’t Lebron James
It's selfish. He put pressure on his son cus he wanted it. He didn't even (or maybe he did) see how this fan put undue pressure on a kid. Just selfishness from lbj
🏀 Even i have better handles, passes, & layups than Bronny & I'm in my 40's 🤣 Highlights on my channel to prove it 💪😎👍

Right like kobe, Kevin Garnett and his dad etc didnt all came into the league at 18 years old , 19 is too old not be able to dribble and shoot
Not rooting for Bronny. He took a more deserving person's one shot at the NBA.
If you getting picked at 55 whoever spot he took is unheard of an probably wouldn't be anything special lmao
A lot of players in the league today was 2nd round picks n they good bronny not
players get picked up undrafted, and bronny wasn't even the last pick in the draft. its not like bronny was some random out of high school, he was genuinely recruited. he has some potential. if someone is deserving they will make it to the league.
@@chiggsytubeLet's skip the fact he's already got money right? From his NIL and his father's a billionaire..yall make the dumbest counter arguments
@b14m23 That's the dumbest statement ever. 29 other teams said no to whoever didn't make it. This was both a smart marketing and financial move by the Lakers. Y'all just hate the Father. Bronny is definitely worth the door in a Lakers uniform which is already proven by his jersey sales bring in money to the Lakers name another pick in this draft, especially in the second round who has brought that much attention or revenue in???
Bronny needs to be in the WNBA
Yes, in the fourth row, taking notes
Says the person who never played professional basketball. Jaylen brown (The finals MVP) Averaged the same stats as bronny in his first 3 Summer league games and nobody said anything. Let the kid grow!
get off nuts
😂
You wild for that man
Why “should” we be rooting for him unless you're a Lakers fan? Usually, you root for players and teams you support, watch, and like. Bronny was basically non-existent in college and has shown nothing to indicate he got into the league due to anything other than his dad.
Exactly why can’t we root for anyone else
This Laker fan not rooting for him. I used to think the team was putting the best product possible on the court.
@@b14m23 I can't lie LeBron took the piss this off season lol. He got JJ Reddick as his HC, and his son on his team with a 8mill contract. I don't get the rush tbh, considering the incident bronny had, he shoulda had at least 1 more year of college, then him and Bron can do this shit on a team that would be happy to get the extra jersey and ticket sales from the hype; and not a team thats aim is for a championship each year
thank you
I root for him to not get his psyche shattered by soulless media corporations and his ego-drenched mega-rich dad.
Bro gets 12 points and ESPN is like, "THIS IS IT! HE'S THE ONE!"

What hype??? Seriously, stop pretending like this kid ever had a chance of being a pro.
I mean, because he’s LeBrons son, he had hype. A number of people thought he would be good.

"He should be in the G-league" is SAS's new way of saying "he's a SCRUUUUB!"
😂😂😂
Bronny is literally in the NBA because his pops told the media that he would retire after playing with his son. This is questionably his last season and he wants to be the first to ever have a father son duo in the league.
I love when Stephen A talks basketball!

One is a First round pick, and the other is the 55th. They both garbage.

What does Adam Silver have to do with this? The Lakers sign whoever they want.
Not a bronny fan but Jaylen brown averaged 6 points per game his rookie season he acting like he was doin any better😂😭😭
He was though...
Don't criticize Jaylon for speaking the truth.
I don’t want to hear anything about him being the 55th pick since he got that guaranteed contract. The judgement on his performance is justified because of that.
It took him being drafted with a guaranteed contract for sports pundits to finally say he needs to be in the G-League. Bronny James shouldn't be anywhere near the NBA. He should be opening a sneaker store in LA.
Very true.
Bronny is gonna be barbecue chicken!!!!
Browny looks like a young man who wants to be at home playing video games. Bron Bron has brought all of this on himself, his team, and his son.
Prince Bronny will make a great bench warmer.
Coach J J of laker needs to be in the G league, first.😂😂😂😂
Bronny would NEVER be in the NBA if it were not for his Daddy Lady Labron.
Crazy we have Mac Mclung who has proven himself day and night but still can’t get a shot on a roster smh

What makes Bronny different than any other summer league young player, are they not someone’s kid also. Like we have to stop the madness.
Keep working Bronny everyone talking will regret it. Jealousy!!!
Bronny gonna end up a real estate agent selling his daddy’s friends listings. You watch.
Lets be honest ...doesn't matter if he talked about it or not.....those folks hate Bron....and by extension his son....wife...dog...they talk bout all of'em
If he needs to be in the G-league, then using Stephen A's own vocabulary, Bronny is a NBA SCRUB! LOL
It’s also sad how Rich Paul contacts members of the media when they criticize Lebron or Bronny.
You have to give an uplifting speech just to say he’s not ready smh 🤦
He's gonna peak when we least expect it. He's in the league.
Da G League ? He need to go to da REC LEAGUE !!!
Remember when Zac Wilson fooled everyone at the combine. Bronny pulled the same thing.
Can’t wait for next season watching those league pass players cook Bronny while LeBron sits back in delusion, it’s gone be classic. 😂
Hahahahahahaha.....sick joke😐
SAS, You better start talking about Caitlin Clark again to get your numbers back up.
We all already knew this who he was and the reason he is where he is.
Lakers gave Austin Reaves a million chances to improve and media gives him nice coverage, so same should be given to Bronny
looks like this guy is delivering a eulogy, how embarrassing for everyone involved... "beautiful quote." Lol okay.... we're living in Bizarro World ladies and gentlemen, just submit to being a tool and you'll survive 😂
The only time we'll c Bronny on the NBA court is when the Lakers have a double digit lead & got the win😂
Even if he goes to play for an elementary school he’s set for life!!! This is a hobby for Bronny.
You keep saying he’s a 55th pick, so hold him to that standard why is he the most scrutinized player like he went lottery media is just ridiculous. Yes I am looking at you SAS
It’s the fact that he’s the 55th pick but they’re giving him more minutes than every other second round pick and special treatment. He would not be playing 25-30 minutes a game if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s Lebron’s son. There’s probably a lot of players who play a lot better if they got 30 minutes of playing time per game🤷🏻♂️
It's almost as if Bronny doesn't deserve the opportunity
Unless I’m wrong, wasn’t he touted just as high as Austin Rivers. (yeah I know, Rivers was drafted 10th overall ) At least Austin Rivers is a decent player.
The last two games he has stepped it up
The Lakers org doesn’t give one damn about none of that😂😂😂😂😂 Their season ticket waitlist gets longer every year Lebron is there!
Not sure if SAS got a son, so he wouldn't understand being a father of a son. Sorry for you SAS. This is pure HATE.

Him saying top 2, I don't agree with it either. LeBron might not even crack my top 10.
MJ, Wilt, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, Magic, Olajuwon, Curry, Russell, and Bird are all better than LeBron imo. I'd take prime Garnett over him as well, along with Durant.
