To the point of nepo, think of the viewers the Lakers are going to get by playing this whole media story of a father and son playing together. That alone proves his worth on the Lakers. Remember this is an entertainment based business
@@ricegum7583 its an amazing story. like griffey jr and his dad. but everyone think they have to say oh its bad or good my opinion is... just let it play out and enjoy the moment. everyone wana say a prediction and opinion and its all worthless
Obviously, the whole James family could pack up shop and go ride off into the sunset. Bronny was set for life the day he was born. The question is, is his entire life the Bolt movie, where he thinks he's the shiznit, but everyone around him is making a fake life for him, or does he have what it takes to legit get what he's getting. Does he know this is all bs and his dad is giving him a life he didn't earn? Or has he gotten to the point where he's fooled himself. I honestly don't care either way. He's set for life and I still have to hustle to pay the bills!
What I hate about this move is it limits Bronny's options for developing and chasing his own life goals. The moment his dad retires he will be without a team and will be out of a job while not having a college degree. He's not a true nba prospect and it would be better he find something of his own to chase and do in life. I don't think this will be healthy in the long run for the man who Bronny will become.
@@iamtheonlywilly true he doesn't need one and in fact most people don't need one either but he also doesn't need to play in the NBA with his dad. what he does need is his own path from which he could blossom into his own person and have his own achievements and a degree is one of many ways to do that
@@iamtheonlywillyHe doesn’t NEED anything. He could sit on his ass for the rest of his life and he a multi millionaire at worst. But he spend his entire life in his dad’s shadow if he doesn’t create a career that he actually earned himself.
Frank, I have to disagree with your last point: the second thing that America loves after an underdog story is the fall from grace. We are a country of haters.
Fall from grace? Where is the grace in this situation? It's straight up nepotism. LeBron James is only "grateful" if he gets what he wants. I feel bad for Bronny, but this situation deserves the type of attention it's getting.
I think you said it best: there's nothing organic with this whole story of Bronny playing with his father and that it's simply a product of his dad's dream and Paul's manipulation behind the scenes to get Bronny drafted to the Lakers at 55. They even gave him a standard contract when most players in his position would be lucky to get a 2-way contract. If he went back to college, transferred, worked on his game and improved his stock for 2025, we'd all look at Bronny differently because he did it his way and not as a result of his name, his dad's dream and Paul's manipulation.
It's not just that it's a nepotism case. It's the SHELTERING thing that drives people crazy. Don't tell people you want to be your "own" man and only do one interview, only workout out for your father's team (and Phoenix), have your Dad's agent (now your agent) calling around telling GMs to not draft you. That's not being your own man, that's being your Dad's lackey.
His father may get him there, but it's his game that will dictate if he stays or not. I am good with the whole father helping the son to keep the family's farm going for generations. SO WHY CAN'T HE DO THE SAME? Without incuring so much scrutiny. We wouldn't chastise anyone for teaching their son or even using one's clout for the betterment of one's child
Because Bronny ain't that good and there are other players better than him that should've been drafted. He got more attention than the top 3 picks, while he isn't even as good as they are
Bronny wants to be considered his own man but is still using his last name as leverage to get in at the same time. He can’t have it both ways, regardless if he jumps in the league this early and flop or turn out half way decent,people will never give him any credit for his own success. He not a bad player nor person he just needs work. No need to rush because the NBA is not going anywhere and Lebron has a few seasons left in him still. If he truly wants to play with Bronny he’ll stick around til then 💯 let the kid develop first 💯
I think he wasn’t given an option, I think his father is living his dreams through his son and he doesn’t care who he hurts or what he steels in the process
That’s what I don’t get out of this it seems like every option that could help Bronny develop and make him a better player is being ditched just to get him in the league as quick as possible.
I told my old co worker Bryce was going to be the NBA superstar. He has a much more natural talent and honestly the second born always has a point to prove lol
That would be ironic…your older brother who was put on a pedestal is a free agent. You get into the draft and have along career and turn into a superstar. Bronny would be depressed unless he never wanted this which happens a lot. Parents pressure their kids into a career their parents want but not what they want.
@@user-ti4tf4kn3o All I can think of is Ken Griffiey senior to Ken Griffiey junior this is the right way to do it. Any other way is a waste of time, from what he could actually be doing that he is good at. So right now I can't even use the word stroke. It's literally he's j@ckin●ff his ego. And we know who I'm talking about. The one who was chosen.
Whats sad is whoever was supposed to go 55th went down the pecking order leading to someone down the line who wasnt able to make the cut because he didnt have the same connections
At first I was rooting for him to make it. But not anymore. I think it's weak AF that the only reason he's gonna make it is because of his father. It's a h*e move and for bronny to be on board with it says alot about who he is as well. This kid most likely is gonna be hated probably his whole career and it's Bron's fault.
It is kind of sad but I honestly don’t blame him as he is probably too intimidated by his father and his dreams from to even voice an opinion let alone protest.

Whats the mystery hes not good enough for the nba or to even be drafted if there was a 3rd round its all nepotism and everyone knows it . But you ain't gonna here anyone say it because the media is afraid of that weirdo lebron
Idk if imma dad was a lebron I would been a brainiac I was tryna be a lawyer and some kinda specialist doctor but that’s just me I hope he take this opportunity he was blessed with and run far with it. 🙏🏿
Rich Paul announcing Bronny won't sign a two-way deal was genius because now teams in the middle of the second round won't take him because they normally offer two-way contracts to those guys, then Bronny only working out for two teams makes the risk even more greater because teams don't have a guage to his true talent level.
I disagree. The reality is if bronny isnt good enough he is gonna gwt cut the second LBJ retired. If bronny can use the time between now and then to get to an NBA level, if when LBJ leaves he is of a role player level then i dont really see the issue. Countering that if he isnt basically you can say he got handed every headstart possible and he still failed. Either way it's gonna work itself out. But i do agree not being willing to take a 2way contract is kind of bullshit
It's the reality of life which isn't fair or equal. There are likely far more talented players out there who aren't going to get the opportunity to get themselves to the NBA level like you mentioned Bronny will have. I could see Klutch sports playing games like: if you want player A, you need to also sign Bronny a roster spot. Some may not like it. I say it is what it is.
@FrankMichaelSmith half the same. You don't seem to think it's fair that he can basically use the leverage his dad would bring to a team if they draft him...and it isn't, but I'm ok with it because I sort of see it as lebron being the one getting the special treatment, not Bronny. Bronny, just happens to benefit from the treatment. Sometimes in life you have people bat for you in a way that isn't exactly fair or based on merit. The only thing you can do in those situations is if you are on the positive side, prove that it wasn't a mistake and if you are that unlucky 59th person that doesn't get drafted because the son of a legend moved up 50 spots just know someone in the gleague will want the 59th guy and you just gotta go the long way if you really want it
@@kevinsmithfan37 I'm pretty neutral about it. The only thing I wonder about is the public embarrassment if he's clearly out of his element and it becomes obvious he was never an NBA talent from the rip. Unless these guys are super confident he can play at this level, everybody involved is going to look bad. But if they don't care, I certainly won't. It also seems like this is Lebron's dream more than Bronny's.
Only someone like LeBron who has become so delusional over the years can't see what a giant clusterfuck this is going to be. The Lakers this season will give a new definition of Showtime when the biggest news is reported from inside the locker room and not what happens on the court and non Lakers fans and LeBron haters will love every second of it
The last thing you said in the end is honestly the key. If Bronny proves he's good enough to stay in the NBA, this talk will die down a bit. If he becomes another Thenasis...good luck to him!
I feel bad for Bronny. He's always stuck in his dad's shadow no matter what he chooses. Chooses the nba, gets called a nepotist . Doesn't choose nba, everyone would've hated him anyways because of their unrealistic expectations of him because he's lebron's son. Yes there is clear nepotism but it's coming from Lebron and the media. I truly believe Bronny wants to make it in the nba on his own talents but that's hard to do when Lebron is choosing to use every resource available to him to get Bronny at the top. It would've been better for him to not pursue the nba for a career but that might have ruined his relationship with his dad which he might be scared of happening. Sports kids always feel that pressure to please any parent like Lebron who can't realize they're suffocating their kid with unrealistic expectations.
Y’all are some real life haters! And I question the motivation for making this video. The former president literally had his ENTIRE family working in the WH AND profiting from running his personal businesses. How many executives have their kids inheriting billions of dollars from SITTING on they ass? Bottom line: if my child were to ever show serious interest in something I’m great at, best believe imma work my ass off to open the doors to success! Bronny is a hard worker. He’s humble and loves the game. Let the man live! And I’m not even a fan of LBJ.
Be honest. How many children who end up in these positions end up doing a decent job?!? The mental strain of literally playing with the greats, who is your father on national tv when you couldn't do the work in college could have serious consequences long term.
The craziest thing is that the Lakers are essentially wasting an opportunity to get a steal in the second round in favor of someone who has no business even being in the G-League. Leadership has no spine. Whatever LeBrat wants, LeBrat gets, right? He’s going to destroy that team on the way out after he is finally able to play alongside his overrated Nepo Baby son. Bronny will be humbled quick. I used to love the Lakers and some of my favorite players of all time were Laker legends. Now, I can’t stand them thanks to GM LeBrat and his Los Angeles LeBrons.
I'm going to say something brutal here about one of your points. From the outside looking in, Americans only root for the Underdog if they are White and especially if they are competing against Black people. Other than that, America does root for the winner, Michael Jordan is the prime example, Floyd Mayweather was unbearable but Americans paid for his fights because he won. Why were there so many Golden State Warriors fans after 2015? Why is there so many Lakers fans in the 00s? Why is there so many Bulls fans in the 90s? America loves a winner and there's nothing wrong with that but it's annoying that Americans try to deny it
Players do this exact thing all the time, your gassing the privilege thing hard. I mean he is a player that was drafted 55, last time I checked that is not favorite. Players always pick where they want to go. Look at Austin Rivers playing for his dad but there isn't any scrutiny as much because the best player ever son is doing it too. Just let the kid play basketball.
LeBron James is exceptional in every way (as a father, friend, philanthropist, elite athlete, family man) so I believe he’s equipped his children with all the skills and love possible to succeed no matter what. Praying 🙏🏾 his son will stay healthy and excel in the whatever profession he chooses.
Hmm you could be right but can we challenge it a bit. A father's job is to prepare his child for the day he won't be there. Setting up your child for a opportunity he's clearly not ready or prepared for seems a bit harsh. Keep in mind dude missed 6 games because he was recovering from a cardiac arrest at 21yrs old...a good father would have the honest conversation and allow his son to develop into the man he is. Bronny could have had a million jobs circled around the NBA but it looks like he's taking a shortcut. With that being said, I completely empathize with a father pulling out all stops to help their son but I am really concerned about the long term effects. It could really mess him up long term.
I would've respected bronny if he had said: "fuck you dad, I'm doing my own thing." and accepted practices from other teams and so on. but this is just a soap in real life. what LeBron wants, LeBron gets.
The numbers were bad, but the fact is the tools are there and Bronny has very real potential to be a Kyle Lowry type player at his peak. I think he WILL play in the NBA and at an NBA level given time, which to me makes his inevitable drafting fine, if not totally fair.
But again he's so far from that mark. I really wish he would have developed more in the college level before taking the jump. Let's be honest LJ still has a few years left in the league why the rush this year, especially so soon after your son being hospitalized for a heart condition.
@@Shay416 NBA level training has been proven to be so far superior to anything that comes before it that I can understand wanting Bronny in the league as soon as possible so he's developing with the most help around him and the highest level talent surrounding him

Can I ask, how do you keep your son's mental health in check if you set him up for an opportunity he clearly isn't ready for? To have him possibly fail in front of the world is something i don't think I would be able to handle.

The Lakers this season will give a new definition of Showtime when the biggest news is reported from inside the locker room and not what happens on the court and non Lakers fans and LeBron haters will love every second of it
Bronny is the perfect example of someone who doesn't have a mind of his own and can't think for himself.
Basketball’s first nepo baby: Lebron James 2
The last thing you said in the end is honestly the key. If Bronny proves he's good enough to stay in the NBA, this talk will die down a bit. If he becomes another Thenasis...good luck to him!
I feel bad for Bronny. He's always stuck in his dad's shadow no matter what he chooses. Chooses the nba, gets called a nepotist . Doesn't choose nba, everyone would've hated him anyways because of their unrealistic expectations of him because he's lebron's son. Yes there is clear nepotism but it's coming from Lebron and the media. I truly believe Bronny wants to make it in the nba on his own talents but that's hard to do when Lebron is choosing to use every resource available to him to get Bronny at the top. It would've been better for him to not pursue the nba for a career but that might have ruined his relationship with his dad which he might be scared of happening. Sports kids always feel that pressure to please any parent like Lebron who can't realize they're suffocating their kid with unrealistic expectations.
Dude is blessed. My dad didnt leave an opportunity or anything remotely close to this for me. DONT LISTEN TO THE HATERS BRONNY. BALL OUT🏀
It's like lavar ball, you've put a target on your son, Now coaches and fans will expect him to score more than 4.5 pts a game.
Except they were good and are good

Y’all are some real life haters! And I question the motivation for making this video. The former president literally had his ENTIRE family working in the WH AND profiting from running his personal businesses. How many executives have their kids inheriting billions of dollars from SITTING on they ass?
Bottom line: if my child were to ever show serious interest in something I’m great at, best believe imma work my ass off to open the doors to success!
Bronny is a hard worker. He’s humble and loves the game. Let the man live! And I’m not even a fan of LBJ.
Be honest. How many children who end up in these positions end up doing a decent job?!? The mental strain of literally playing with the greats, who is your father on national tv when you couldn't do the work in college could have serious consequences long term.
King James has spoken and appointed his court Jester to the throne. Just enjoy the circus the king has spoken.
You've done a service to Bronny with this video, and it gave me a new perspective. Deserves more views considering all the hate!
The craziest thing is that the Lakers are essentially wasting an opportunity to get a steal in the second round in favor of someone who has no business even being in the G-League. Leadership has no spine. Whatever LeBrat wants, LeBrat gets, right? He’s going to destroy that team on the way out after he is finally able to play alongside his overrated Nepo Baby son. Bronny will be humbled quick.
I used to love the Lakers and some of my favorite players of all time were Laker legends. Now, I can’t stand them thanks to GM LeBrat and his Los Angeles LeBrons.
I'm going to say something brutal here about one of your points. From the outside looking in, Americans only root for the Underdog if they are White and especially if they are competing against Black people. Other than that, America does root for the winner, Michael Jordan is the prime example, Floyd Mayweather was unbearable but Americans paid for his fights because he won. Why were there so many Golden State Warriors fans after 2015? Why is there so many Lakers fans in the 00s? Why is there so many Bulls fans in the 90s? America loves a winner and there's nothing wrong with that but it's annoying that Americans try to deny it
Who else is here after he got drafted by the lakers
goodluck pal.. see you at the next 2yrs in the big league
Good ole boy term reversed if you catch my drift. Yes yes yes Bronny👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
didnt hear him say a word? you living under a rock my guy
W video🔥🔥🔥🔥
daddy got him a job he didn't deserve for everyone to see lol that's so embarrassing
I feel bad for him he could either prove that nba kids can be good players in the league or flop
Steph already proved that
cdfu bro playing dead opps in the background
dont watch much basket ball; and seeing him for the fist time, he literally has his dad's young appearance :)
Im telling you now Bryce James is a better player than Bronny
Lol making a name for myself maybe after the nba you might be able to do that
let daddy use his wealth and power to bring his son in.... lebron can take a pay cut.. lol
and thats exactly what he did
so we’re just not gonna talk about Giannis and Thanasis?
Players do this exact thing all the time, your gassing the privilege thing hard. I mean he is a player that was drafted 55, last time I checked that is not favorite. Players always pick where they want to go. Look at Austin Rivers playing for his dad but there isn't any scrutiny as much because the best player ever son is doing it too. Just let the kid play basketball.
LeBron James is exceptional in every way (as a father, friend, philanthropist, elite athlete, family man) so I believe he’s equipped his children with all the skills and love possible to succeed no matter what. Praying 🙏🏾 his son will stay healthy and excel in the whatever profession he chooses.
Hmm you could be right but can we challenge it a bit.
A father's job is to prepare his child for the day he won't be there. Setting up your child for a opportunity he's clearly not ready or prepared for seems a bit harsh.
Keep in mind dude missed 6 games because he was recovering from a cardiac arrest at 21yrs old...a good father would have the honest conversation and allow his son to develop into the man he is.
Bronny could have had a million jobs circled around the NBA but it looks like he's taking a shortcut.
With that being said, I completely empathize with a father pulling out all stops to help their son but I am really concerned about the long term effects. It could really mess him up long term.
If he wasn’t lebron son he wouldn’t have gotten drafted at all, wouldn’t have even looked at or considered. He’s ruined his son’s career already.
Bro gotta post more long form content
I would've respected bronny if he had said: "fuck you dad, I'm doing my own thing." and accepted practices from other teams and so on. but this is just a soap in real life. what LeBron wants, LeBron gets.
The best he can do with his father's influence is get an NBA deal, if you can't deliver you're a nobody
The numbers were bad, but the fact is the tools are there and Bronny has very real potential to be a Kyle Lowry type player at his peak. I think he WILL play in the NBA and at an NBA level given time, which to me makes his inevitable drafting fine, if not totally fair.
But again he's so far from that mark. I really wish he would have developed more in the college level before taking the jump. Let's be honest LJ still has a few years left in the league why the rush this year, especially so soon after your son being hospitalized for a heart condition.
@@Shay416 NBA level training has been proven to be so far superior to anything that comes before it that I can understand wanting Bronny in the league as soon as possible so he's developing with the most help around him and the highest level talent surrounding him
Oh no!!! My dad forced me in a situation to make millions!!!
Amerkans are to greedy to root for the underdog, dawg😅😒

Bronny got vaxxed
Trae young did it
As a piatons fan i hate lebron, but as a dad i dont hate what he is doing for his son, i help get me son an internship this summer, life is about leveraging your network, life isnt fair, why would i care what some randoms say?
Just to hate someone you don’t know personally is mental. Think about that and see if it makes sense. God bless!!
Can I ask, how do you keep your son's mental health in check if you set him up for an opportunity he clearly isn't ready for? To have him possibly fail in front of the world is something i don't think I would be able to handle.
