You can tell LeBron taught his kid how to carefully talk to the media
Dalton did a great job as well and he hasn't had half the coaching as Bronny.
@@johnhargrove7744 No one is discrediting Dalton Knecht. But, alright go off. I guess you felt the need to stand up for the guy 🤣
@@ESDNMedia😂😂
@@johnhargrove7744
its comes NATURAL for both of them .. duh!
@ESDNMedia Well if you said he was coached by Bron, didn't you expect he would answer appropriately? Problem with this young fella is his name. If his name was something else he would be accepted. Just consider him like one of the many juniors and II in the league. Only time will make his selection acceptable.
I wish them both the best. I am excited to see them play. I believe that they will do well. Let's Go Lakers.
Klay said I’m going to skip the circus😂😂😂😂
Klay is a washed punk who is scared of the pressure that comes with wearing the purple and gold.
@@Humble_Legendthe lebron James klutch sports circus
@@Humble_Legend Did Klay hit your girl? 😂😂 A lot of hostility there. Klay made a good basketball decision. Dallas is poised to compete right now. I’m a Lebron fan but your right it is a lot of pressure being a laker.
@@chrisbrown8641 Even if Klay DID hit my girl, he'd still be a washed punk who is scared of the pressure that comes with wearing the purple and gold.
Good u don't want to be the laughing stock of the NBA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2nd round pick getting a press conference all to yourself is out of this world 😂😂😂
All NBA teams do press conferences for their draft picks tho. ESPECIALLY when it’s a new head coach
@@terrickb39not for second round pick 😂
@@Darksecret_23 he was the most talked about the entire draft what did you expect
Yep
It's embarrassing really, that bronny gets a lot of media coverage. Give the spotlight to somebody else
Hope they both have wonderful careers 🎉
Facts 🙏💯
I hope dalton and bronny turn into decent players I’m not expecting anything the 1-2 years let these guys develop
Dalton in the A 🏀. Bronny in social media and celebrity world. They’ll both have wonderful careers. He already had a Freudian slip, saying they gave it to him. And the coach tried to correct him. Clown show.
Bronny will be the next Patrick Beverly.
This is not a fairytale. The Lakers just flushed money they earn by selling their team. What is this sentimental move going to do to make the Lakers better?
I genuinely hope Bronny could turn into something special.
I feel like his Heart situation played a role in his issues at USC and i hope he can develop under the Lakers during and post bron era
yeah well keontae johnson had a heart attack and nearly died and is much better than bronny james. nepotism
This is going to be one of the biggest flops in pro sport.
He sucks..lol
@@maffroseI like him but exactly lmao
@@maffrose How can it be a flops? He was drafted in the second round, not a first round pick. If he can get on an NBA game instead of D league, he's already way surpassed his worth. Plus he will get jersey sales while being a D-league prospect, which is already more than any other players that can be drafted at the same spot.
ESPN treats Bronny like the 1st overall pick
😂😂😂
ESPN is gonna chase clicks obviously
Like he C Clark lol
@@SmallWorld-ur7tl They're being nicer to Bronny than they have been to Caitlin Clark.
@@robintay1449 very true
I hate when i click a video so fast it doesn't even work 🤣🤣🤦
😂😂
The NPC in you couldn't wait to watch this
@@dipsetkory7964 🤣😴
😂😂
Like the Lakers licking LeBALCO’s sack so fast only for his son to not work
Alot of people forget that it's not easy playing for the lakers. The spotlight is always on you. Pressure x10
His father knew that and still insisted he join
Let’s see how those 5 points per game play out
@@ShawnReed-ny1hdAnd your criticism is what ? don’t draft your son and make history lol you sir are not notable
Beautiful GOD watching everything you do.
Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.
@@jeremy8481 He'll have at least one 20-point game, one 10-assist game, and a few chase down blocks
I've never seen a 2nd round 55th pick so hyped like this..
forget 55th pick. never seen a dude who averaged 4 ppg in college get so hyped. he just signed a multi-year fully guaranteed contract too.
He lebron James lol
You have now
Because you have never seen it doesn’t mean much now does it
@@Icecube88 maybe you should watch more basketball because last years 55th pick only average 5 pts, but I'm sure you don't know who that is but out of nowhere you suddenly care about the 55th pick 😂
“Bronny has earned this through hard work” LMFAOOOOOO
Bronny already has more money than you😂😂😂😂😂
They would have drafted you, but your hands were too small like Trumps.
😂😂😂
Bro, I died when JJ Said that. Hahaha. Common son!
😅😅😅😅😅
I’m rooting for both these guys man. One was passed on in the draft because of age and the other has people praying on his downfall.
Don’t confuse praying for downfall with people saying the truth about him. In what earth has a college bench scrub gotten a press conference ?
@@MR.__G you are watching a "bench scrub" at press conference arent you?
@@userb10b at least you know he’s a bench scrub. Im here to simply laugh at this circus show 😂😂😂 you lebron stans sound emotional.
@@MR.__G i just answer your question bc u said in what earth.. you spick HAHAHAHHAH
@@MR.__G all i did was answer your question yu sp!ckAHAHHAH.. am i being emotional?
Idk why it’s that bad for him to just say, “I went in early to increase the chances that I’d be able to play with my dad before he’s done. He’s one ankle twist from never competing in the NBA again.”
fr the glaring lie had me 😂
Bronny being with the lakers is gonna help him so much especially with learning how to block out the noise
He even sits like his dad lmao
That makes sense.He grew up watching his dad do this his entire life.
@@agtjackbauer i know lol im just sayin
Extreme glaze. Watching how another man sits is nasty work
@@BarryBlockZay617😂😂
💀💀@@BarryBlockZay617
Geeked for Knecht! He was epic for the Vols. Happy for Bronny too!
Bronny uncles are Draymond, CP3, and Pat Bev. Trust me he gone be straight and tough 🤣
Don't forget Unc Mello n D Wade
They can't play for him
Bev?
Jordan had two sons with NBA dreams.. yeah, none of that matters if the one playing is trash 😂
He forgot to thank his coach James for drafting him as well lol
JJ n bronny should thank lebum for being on the team
🤣🤣🤣
@@Jon10911you sound like a bitter ex girlfriend 😂😂
The GM was a puppet controlled by Lebron.
Happy for both! LET'S DO THIS, GUYS!!! 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
One of them averaged less than 5 points AS A GUARD. And he got drafted into the NBA by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Let that sink in.
You look like a crossdresser
You mean like the Bucks taking someone that averaged 2pts at the 23rd pick? Did you know about that, or...it's THIS drama that's been given to you to continue the hustle? Let THAT sink in.
On a crappy usc team
😂😂
Yeah, as the 55th pick. A spot that has never seen a player succed in the nba even with better numbers than Bronny. You're acting like the used a first round pick on him
Lakers summer: Sign no one in free agency but give Bronny a guaranteed 3 yr contract
Lebron telling him about listening to coaches 😂😂😂... man the Lake Show just that ... a circus 😂
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
its laughable because yall believe media and internet narratives lol. They get yall so easily. "sensitive" "overprotective" etc. They are mad because he got ahead of their drama bait.
JJ went from coaching his own son to coaching Bron’s son!
Proud of those guys let’s get it lake show
Bronny has the best motivation to succeed he has a point to prove because of what people have been saying hopefully he can .
Bronny acted like he didn't know he was going to the Lakers. Come on, man...
Crazy how grown adults hate on a 19 year old
The truth is hate ? If averaging 4 ppg off the bench is the requirement, his entire college squad should’ve all been drafted 😂😂
He averaged 5 points a game on a terrible usc team how are we hating when it's documented facts😂😂 we don't think he's ready yet
Not hate on Bronny. The hate is on LeGM and the Lakers Organization for allowing something this insane
@@MR.__G i mean who cares, hes lebrons kid and its gonna be good for history. In the end, nepotism exists everywhere and for once, I think it's deserved because fans get some entertainment out of it. It's not even hurting anyone except for maybe the person who could've been in bronnys shoes.
He’s a adult lol
Both young men are very well spoken
When the last time 2nd round 55th pick get a press conference?
Congrats bro go crazy💪
there gonna need a good where and towel boy with energy. yeah go crazy with the towels
Knecht shoulda been top 10 lakers got a steal
Poor Kid.. feel sad for Bronny. As a father it is hard to know when you have to step back and let them grow and live independent lives.
I feel bad that Bronny took a spot from the kids that really deserved to get drafted
3ppg is definitely super earned. Did every other player on his team get drafted too?
He avg more than girly bosh
Knecht what a wonderful well mannered young man. Can’t wait to see him do great things.
We have LeCap Jr. now😂😂
JJ saying “Bronny has earned this” in front of Dalton is disrespectful!
No it's not. He was referring to what Bronny said.
I have never seen so many people complain about the 55th pick like ever. Because NOBODY ever does until it's King James Son.
Now you get the picture!
Because the lil homie didn’t play good enough to get drafted even in the 2nd round
@@alphamalementality7105and the 23rd pick who averages 2 points is cool
@@alphamalementality7105 How so when most folks in the Comment Sections called this like the Worst Draft in NBA history. So by that Standard, nobody below the Top Ten deserved to be drafted.
I’ve never seen a 55th pick get a guaranteed multiyear contract like he was a lottery pick
Despite how I may feel about the whole thing, I am looking forward to seeing how they both do on the Lakers
55th pick no one should expect anything. But he’s got instincts, a budding shot making talent, and plays good defense to align with his athleticism. You still clicking on the video for him lmao 😂
I think most people are clicking on it because the Lakers are a joke for drafting a player who averaged four points in college..... Just because his daddy wants to play with him....
I disagree on the "instincts." I don't see any dog in him, nor any attempt to take people on. But yes, people will watch, because _there's always a chance,_ even though no one else with such a wack game would get a shot.
Just stop… it’s nepotism at its finest. He will never be anything besides lebrons son who sucked in the nba
Big 🧢
Bronny will be voted as an all star
He'll be in the D league.
They'll mysteriously win the championship
This is the definition of participation trophy
Keep hating
Soft
@@victorvazquez5901it’s not hate it’s truth
So is most successful people in corporate America so what’s the issue here?
He worked hard AF for it
The content is always so well thought out and executed. Great job!
Bronny sniffs after answering each question
I can’t unhear it 🤣
Bro got a major mouth twitch habit
He's unsure about his future
Y'all reach for nitpicking.
@@BrianLockett human psychology. Do you ever look down after a statement or thought when you are feeling insecure? It's the same concept.
Congratulations y'all! Welcome to the Lakers 🏀👌🏾
Congrats to both picks and may the have great careers 🎉
He even does the Lebron “Umm” 😂🔥🥂
We tend to emulate greatness. If he can be half as good as his ol man then sky's the limit
Celtics building a dynasty while lakers are helping Bron live out his wild fantasies 😂 gotta love it 🍀🍀🍀
Desperate for that attention huh
Boston won a NBA Title where most of the BEST Teams in the EAST lost their BEST Player. But sure Boston is building a Dynasty. Well they first have to prove that Theory.
Hey now, the lakers have a chance to 2 peat in season tournaments.
This feels like drake and his fans at the start of the beef trolling kendrick to drop saying he doesnt have anything. With the boogeyman just lurking in the background. Miami is that boogeyman until yall beat us healthy i dont want to hear shi. Last time jimmy saw u crying with your fans at home on our way to the finals, happy at the fact that yall didnt get swept when we were up 3-0 with jimmy bam and a bunch of 69 overalls on 2k
@@papadon2006 Tatum doesnt sprain his ankle then the only time that core beat us was in empty gyms in 2020 when theis was the starting center. Also, I didn’t mention the heat at all. So I don’t know what you yappin about.
Bro doesn’t even deserve to start on a top D1 team let alone to be NBA roster
Facts !! Lebron has been sneaking him in through every door. He will easily get exposed once his daddy can’t protect him on the court in front of millions watching
@@MR.__G No ones gonna respect him especially people that worked there whole life to earn that spot
@@bigrocksbig7319 absolutely !
@@bigrocksbig7319just say you don’t know basketball. If you know ball bronny fits perfectly for the nba! It’s more spread out and he is someone that thrives in transition. Getting deflections, steals and filling the lanes he will be fine. He’s a downhill on ball defender. College is more sets and zone then man to man defense. Not a lot of zone in the NbA.
@@taylorsanford-hg1it He had to prove it in college before the NBA like all the other players I’m not saying he can’t do it but it’s just lame how he got a hand out
Dudes significantly smaller than JJ bahaha😂😂
Congratulations!!🏀🏀💯
Such a joke 😂😂. Lakers need new ownership asap. This circus is wild
Stop hating
Jeanie buss has no idea what she's doing
@@kendrickwoodsit's facts idiot
@kendrickwoods stop glazing.
@@kendrickwoodsthey can’t I wanna know what type of personality brings you here to talk about a kid that has already achieved more than you and anyone you know. It’s crazy to me
Yep, its all about Bronny, not about the scoring demon who was picked #17. Keep the circus going, ESPN. We love it.
Lmaooo !!! He’s probably like why did they draft me into this circus
what are you on about? they started most if not all questions with the #17 pick AS THEY SHOULD. That's respect right there and you still find a way to complain ? espn is another thing, they just care about the clicks, why is that surprising to you?
Wah wah wah, cry lil boy
U mad
@@2eightfoe I ain't complaining about the 55th pick unlike others
Dalton looks humble, he’s gonna be our next star
Rooting for the kid
Bronny will be good. He has all the assets in his hands, why wouldn’t he become a great 3 and d guy. Let’s be realistic now
😂😂😂😂😂😂
No he won't.... and lay off the crack...
🧢🧢
Because he averaged 4 pts per game 💀 he has not shown he can be an NBA player, not even good enough for a bench warmer as of now
😂😂😂😂
Both holding their arms
😂
nitpicking
Nerves
Much love for Bronny
He played 25 games in college. People acting like he missed most of the seasons games.
He also had a cardiac arrest and played the same year I believe so
To be fair, Jerry Buss wouldn't have picked the current owners of the Lakers if they weren't his children.
is it bring your son to work day?
LMFAO 🤣
Props for that reporter for asking the 1st rounder the first question. Lmao
Dalton doesn't have a rich powerful daddy to pull strings, he had to worked hard to be an eligible NBA prospect. * Shots fired 😊
Two players on stage , one worked hard to get where he is , the other was just given it, bronny even mentioned it, given me 😂😂
The owner of the Lakers was given the team. But she's the right complexion
Wasn’t give much of a opportunity? lol the kid went scoreless 0 more than once! I swear you can’t make this up
He had more games scoring 0 than he had double digit games. He had 5 games where he scored 2 points. He had a 5 game stretch where scored 2 points, 2 points, 2 points, 0 points then 0 points… why is this kid even being talked about ? 😂😂
I can't wait till the season start usually I'm waiting for football season but now I want to see how this team will be with him on a team, I think it's so dope that he even gets to play with his dad
LBJ "Hey Bronny, the day is finally here. You are getting introduces as a Laker.. at your first official press conference! Wear something nice"
Bronny shows up in a hoodie. 🤣😂🤣
It should be 1st round pick Dalton Knecht and 2nd rounder Bronny James introduced as Lakers.
The hate for this boy is crazyv
Mad it seem like they would interview both players 😂 well played 😂😂😂
Daym... They just let Knecht sit there like he is the second round pick
"Earned this through hard work".. 🙄 I used to like JJ.

Congrats on Bronny and look forward to seeing him in Summer League
He didn’t even need a phone call, he already knew he was getting drafted by them lol
The lakers found the missing piece to defend there in season tournament trophy
Sawft
😂🤣
Ready to see Bronny in action 🔥🔥😮💨
The thumbnail of Bronny 😂😂
I’m not even a Laker Fan I’m mad that Dalton didn’t go to MEM.
I’m happy he’s with the Lakers with Bronny 👏🏿. The Lakers are on their Way ❤
Kyle Kuzma 1st year in college avg 3.3 pts a game, I am not going to judge until after a few years.
Did he enter the draft after year 1 ?
@@Music-yq8qcthis was a weak draft lol why not enter! How many kids you know get to play with their father? You take advantage of this opportunity and go this year especially with bron on his way out. Y’all just hating
The fact that JJ had to defend Lil homie earning the opportunity CLEARLY SAYS HE’S NOT DESERVING.
Bronny gonna put in work in the gym and become the next kobe
He's going to grow 5 inches?!
AR15 going to have some real competition for his “Hillbilly Kobe” nickname 😂
One guy earned his Spot while the other guy is an Imposter by way of Nepotism who wouldn't be good enough to play in the Chinese League.
Interesting how JJ talks glowingly about Knects ability as a basketball player but says nothing about Bronny’s skills. Just that he’s a hard worker and has “earned” this opportunity.
‘His base level of feel, athleticism, point of attack defender, shooting, passing. There’s a lot to like about his game’ that’s what I heard JJ say. Aren’t those considered ‘skills’ on the basketball court. Secondly, there’s a difference between a 1st round pick & and a 2nd round pick. It would naturally make more sense to for a coach to initially have more to say about the 17th pick in the draft versus the 55th pick. I swear people hear what they want to hear just to have a reason to hate.
So when JJ said, "His base level of feel, athleticism, point of attack defender, shooting, passing... There's a lot to like about his game." He wasn't talking about Bronny's skills???
And he should talk about their 1st round draft pick like he did, that's why they selected him.
He literally said what kind of potential he had seconds after that comment. I guess you just chose not to listen lol
Notice Daltons reaction when right away they speak to Bronny
My journey was different was wild lol
crazy that jj and bronny don't have the qualifications to be on that stage but are simply put there by bron to please him. this is not healthy
Lakers winning it all.
Lmao
😂😂😂 not April Fools
😂
I agree (I’m a delusional Laker fan)
Yeah sure and the cowboys are going to the superbowl
I can appreciate great individuals with a great sense of communication and speech talking about sports! No ums,like,uhh just pure authentic communication. Well done espn crew
The title should be Dalton Knecht and Bronny introduced as Lakers.
Dalton will be starting next season not the upcoming season.. I’d take him over Bronny AND Reaves 💯
He's gonna be sharing minutes with bronny lol no chance he plays alot. Unless he makes alot of 3s
Dalton got a little Tyler Herro to him lol
Yea.. you see that too huh 😆
@@prof3ssor178 lmao yup 🤣 I’m Glad yall didn’t think I was referring to his game haha
I could watch this all day everyday 😂
Go Dalton and Bronny! 💜💛👏🏾
Imagine if Dalton gets cut and Clown Prince get's a roster spot.... YES MAKE IT HAPPEH.......
nah they won't dare play him . He'll make a couple circus runs with his pops just for the exposure and the narrative and thats it
What is your age?
Dalton with the sneaky shot @0:43 “my journey was different” 😂😂
How was that sneaky. Do you know his journey lol
Good luck to these 2 young men... I'm rooting for their success
This is just perfect.
Bronny does NOT understand that now he has a target on his back... and these are NOT HIGH SCHOOLERS... These are grown MEN that have to feed their family and take care of love ones extend family members.... Your daddy gave you this job... my problem he didn't earn it!!!
J.J. is lying... when this experience doesn't workout and zero championship are won who do you point the finger at🤔
💯‼️
You sound butthurt lol. Who cares who he's going up against? Back it up
He’s dad did his job now he gotta continue the legacy 😂
