LeBron James put a lot of pressure on his son when he said he wanted to play with him in the NBA, and Coach Nick does a deep dive into his USC footage to determine whether or not Bronny can get to that level.

Respect for my man coach. Barely got functioning vocal cords but still out here making videos
Thx! It’s been a little brutal… but I’m about 70% and on my way back… 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@bballbreakdown is this why you used AI voice in a recent video? Thanks for the great content, coach
Coach got Doc Rivers voice today
Yup
“Put some lotion on those vocal cords; sounding ashy as hell”
Seems like he has a cold…
Lmao, exactly
So I got home from the gym on Monday, forgot to wash my hands immediately like I always do.. then touched my nose.. within 24 hours I lost my voice and then into my sinuses 😭
Look I don’t think bronny is a bad player he’s a high major d1 guy so he obviously is talented. However, the argument of whether he is an NBA player rn is simple:
If his name was Marcus Johnson and not Lebron james jr not ONE nba scout would even look at him. There are so many other guards in college who are light years beyond him who will never touch an nba floor.
This. He's an "explosive" guard similar to Jan Vesely - in a straight line, with terrible lateral movement. His "sound jumper" has clanked badly over and over. Change his name, and he graduates after 4 years.
If those "other guards in college who are light years beyond him" are so good, they would be on mock draft boards. If ESPN knows that he isn't NBA-ready right now, then NBA owners know it too, hence why Bronny got removed from draft boards. Is there nepotism involved? Of course, same reason why other NBA players' kids get looked at more than others, that's just a part of basketball that you're gonna have to live with. But you just outright dismissing his potential just because he's LeBron's kid shows that you're inept at spotting talent.
@@TheHuskyK9they actually are on the mock draft boards *News flash 🚨 *….either you a robot or a troll it’s hard to tell but u kno NOTHING bout sports pal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🥲
Yep. I knew once Thanassis made it that we’re going to see Bronny in a couple of years.
bron would just turn bronny into a spot up shooter if they ever play together💀
He would be scrutinized like Jr Smith and Kevin Love did despite Love and Smith are starter and hall of fame respectively
Thats extremely biased and short sided. You're emotionally invested in cruelty. LeBron, didnt turn ky ky, into a spot of shooter? Nor did he Richard Jefferson? What D wade? What about d rose? Lol you're not the most astute basketball mind
@@artie8561Kevin love , was getting 30 30 vs the knicks and couldnt get into or out of the first rd. Mmm, jr smith played with melo and couldn't get a ring until he went with lebron! Secondly, destroying the best game in the finals i ever seen vs the greatest assembly of MVPs and dpoy , allstars. Yea, jr smith did that for lebron. Lets cry a river for jr😢.. Nincompoop, learn basketball bedore being emotional about giy who's better than you at anything you've every attempted in your life. Malcontents 😂
@@artie8561Jr smith ain’t a hall of fame player 💀
Nope, he'll do his best to help him develop and shine in all that he does.
@6:13 falling asleep as his man back doors him. PAUSE COACH
Oh dear
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Lmao. Idk if the comment is funnier or coaches reply.
It doesn’t sound as bad in video as it does typed out 😂🤣😂
The eye test tells me he is not a bad player. He is a very detailed guy. He is a team first guy as he is not the guy to force things. Extreme vision and IQ. He is good at defense. He will be nice role player in the league. Remember some players can't be defined by only their stats. We shall see...
Oh forgot to say that he has nice intangibles especially in his demeanor. He doesn't seem to get rattled and sometimes you just need a calm presence on the floor to make timely shots. Just think his team mates wake up everyday not to defeat the other team but to outplay Bronny. They are not going to assist him in making him look good because they know he will be a shoe in anyway. Most of them guys don't have a chance to make the league and so it's the crab in the bucket at play. That is why Lebron said only the work matter because in the end that is the only thing that will matter.
@@brilliancewinz81He's not bad but he doesn't have that hunger either. If he's allowing his team to punk him and take it, have shot opportunities and not make them then it's just another fringe NBA player that's out of the league after their undrafted contract. There's no way a player that by your account is good at defense and has extreme vision is not a key player in USC, a team that is struggling this season.
@@tiroscI think Gil said it best. If he plays the right way, it takes away from what's inside of him.
Eye test? Based on Ballislife highlight compilations?
@@CWJ0725 No, based on all the gameplay I’ve assessed of his archetype playstyle this far.
I think this is a very fair evaluation of where Bronny is as a player right now. He’s lost some development opportunities because of injuries and a heart attack, but there is definitely promise in his game. I think he could definitely play in the NBA after maybe another year of college or more, just whatever he needs to do to get league ready.
You don't fall out of the mock draft because of two months injury which he recovered from. 2024 is a very weak draft year and he still struggles. Lebron gave him too much pressure for sure.
Yea “heart attack” effect basketball IQ and ability to aim a basketball right ? This ain’t a movie it’s real life it’s a wrap..
Look at the clowns hating in the comments lol
@@artie8561 Did you miss the part about their starting point guard being a ball dominant 5th year senior? I believe once Ellis is gone, Bronny will be the starting point guard, he'll have a full training camp under his belt and all this criticism will disappear once we see his true potential as a PG.
@@artie8561how y’all hating on a teenager who that had a heart attack. Damnnnn y’all some sick mfs on this internet shxt
Im not a dad yet, but I can see why LeBron would say all of those things. Its his own kid, how great is it to have a parent which has full confidence in your abilities and future. Just has to understand that sadly Bronny won't have a normal NBA career, he will always be at the mercy of the media who will always link him to LeBron.
In short...his goose is COOKED. The added pressure LeBron has put on him with the "he's better than most NBA guys now" tweet or something like that will haunt him. I wish him all the best...but it will be tough for him.
I understand people value their own sons more. He is more delusional than Lavar Ball while he found Lavar annoyingLOL😂. Lonzo was the undisputed top 2 picks and Lamelo was arguably the best player of the draft. To say they are better than Curry suddenly sound very reasonable comparing to Bronny better than NBA players. He is not even better than most guys getting drafted where most of them will not surivive the NBA for more than 4 years
I mean that's what happens. Imagine he became an accountant, he will still be Lebron's son the accountant
@@kleontang🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@artie8561that dumb comparing bronny to the worse players in the league is wayyyyy more realistic then comparing melo or zo to curry
The problem is people are expecting his path to be just like his father. Being "The Chosen One" straight out of high school, which is like only 1 out of a million hoopers out there.
He just needs to focus and develop in his own pace.
Off topic, but that Oregon court 4:37 is atrocious 👎🏾🤢🤮
Lets be real. Even if he doesn't get drafted, the lakers could sign him as a free agent.
Or whichever team Lebron chooses to play on next year.
He screams "two-way player" if he turns pro next season.
I know his dad taught him to play unselfish, but bronny has to play more SELFISH. I feel / see it as he cares too much about his image and what people think. Playing selfish and making the most of his touches matter. After all he's an athlete with a clean jumper. He has to play more aggressive and stop deffering a lot. He has potential. All the Media shit talking should motivate him to take over.
lol LeBron? Unselfish?
Watch him on defense the last 5 seasons. He is a STATUE. In fact, watch him without the ball on offense. He’s also a statue in that case too. The only time he moves without the ball on offense is when he’s prematurely getting back on defense.
More importantly, has there ever been a player that’s thrown his own teammates under the bus more than LeFraud???
@@NewNormalWorldOrderimagine typing this bullshit after LeBron just put the clamps on Kawhi and outscored entire Clippers team in 4th qtr. Also LeBron isn’t the most active cutter but ever since going to Miami, his cutting has been deadly. I’m convinced majority of y’all don’t even watch the games only the highlights
@@NewNormalWorldOrderyou sound stupid as hell 😂
@@NewNormalWorldOrder such a casual lmao
@@tchalla7828
Nah I don’t watch highlights. I watch all of LeFraud’s lowlights… i watch all his mistakes, garbage effort on both ends of the ball, the FLOPPING, the endless crying to the refs and looking for someone else to blame, all the shenanigans…
Ya know, what’s so funny here is you have _no clue_ why LeFraud deserves the “hate” aka rightful criticism. You actually probably believe most or all of the lies about him being the greatest thing since sliced bread. He isn’t. But _I’m_ the “casual.” Riiiiiiight.
I still think Bronny has NBA potential, but in like three years. He's only explosive in straight lines and in open space.
Explosive in straight lines and open space ….is that a “hot take”? 🤣🤣🤣 come on….
@@drulamanesome players are very agile and can change direction quickly (DRose, Ja, etc). There are some (like his dad) who need a head of steam in order to be quick or explosive.
idk what you mean lol this is obviously true if you've ever watched Bronny play, which a lot of y'all clearly haven't @@drulamane
@@kingjaydex7464watch LeBron in his first 5 years. Casual.
lebron will still be playing then so thats good
He doesn’t have star or all-star potential but I see a solid starter/ above average NBA backup that can have a long career contributing like Tyus Jones, Derrick Fisher or Avery Bradley.
All 3 of those dudes was killers in high skoo stop it..
@@drulamane who gives AF about high school once they leave it. He trying to make the League, not high school. He going to do the same things in the League that he did in HS because he’s a role player, like I said.

Bronny is fine he’s not gonna be a superstar like some dumb people think he looks like a Jrue Holiday/Marcus Smart type of guard
I’m convinced Lebron could play with his grandchildren if he wanted to lol
Great vid coach!
I’ve been waiting for this drop
if thanasis can make it, bronny can too. don't underestimate the power of nepotism.
There is almost no nepotism in professional sports, but go off
Thanasis was an elite defensive player in the 2nd best league in the world who was an all star in Greece. He has also shown elite lockdown defense and hustle plays in international tournaments. He deserved his second chance in the NBA. Bronny is nowhere near thanasis, he's not even better than Kostas and probably about as good as Alex at best, who averaged 8 points in the G league. Thanasis is a perfectly mediocre 15th man, even though he will never play consistent NBA minutes on merit. Bronny will be lucky to be that good in 3 years
@@dxfifaPlus Thanasis is 6’6 - 6’7 while Bronny is under 6’5
@@A1245fghstop getting on the internet and lying.
Lol 🤣🤣
Way to stick through it Coach Nick! I’m sorry for those that were so negative in your last video, I barely noticed the AI in it and this breakdown cleared up any controversy. I just hope you feel better soon. Thank you for all the time you put in, I love your channel!!
Thank you, Sir for your honest analysis.
💯🔥 ALWAYS GREAT CONTENT.
Bronny wouldn’t even be drafted if it wasn’t for nepotism….
If Michael Jordan's son was half as good as Bronny, they would've damn well done the same thing. I remember the NBA was already starting to put it into motion, but Jordan's son ended up sucking. Then the talent scouts stopped watching him.
@@KomicGenius What does Michael Jordan’s son not benefiting from nepotism have to do with Bronny 100% benefiting from nepotism?
Y’all really shouldn’t let grown men live rent free in yo head like that.
I blew through that seat geek commercial so fast 😆
This guy actually attended his game. Nice.
0:28 Thank you for the Malik Monk improvement stat! TheMoreYouKnow
yeah I was wondering wtf that was for
It would mentally destroy someone being told you’ll be in the NBA your whole life only to not make it
He'd be a perfect heat culture type of player. Spo, Pat, and the heat could make him into a serviceable 3 and D player
Heat culture? Lmao
@@kylebushnell2601You know, looking like he belongs in the G league, making Jimmy play out of his mind in the playoffs because they refuse to get him another all star, that culture lol...
@@kylebushnell2601the heat culture that always produces generic 3 and D guys from a factory who come out of nowhere and score 10-15 ppg in the playoffs. Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson, etc
Great analysis 👏🏿✊🏿
Great video
Thx!!
Coach, I'm still waiting for your OKC video
Excellent video.
speedy recovery coach.
Bronny needs to be a 4 year player, he's got a very rough outline of a productive guard in him, but he needs time and direction to be properly refined.
Absolutely
Yup no way around it
He just put up another donut yesterday 😂😂
Hes only known because of lebron nobody would even know a scrub barely averaging 5 points on 30% shooting on a terrible team
Plays bigger than his height. Blazing quickness. Great passer. Experience will only make him better
South Bay Lakers? Sure.
After what happened with the cardiac arrest people need to remember what happened to Reggie Lewis. This young man needs his dad to shut up and be a father, and stop putting all this pressure on him to play in the NBA. This young man could use his stature to really show kids how you can be successful in other walks of life.
1:09 would’ve been a perfect transition into a seatgeak ad
Coach: "Can Bronny make thr NBA? Don't yell your answer at the screen"
Me: (disregarding) "MAYBE!!"
I think if he gets more touches in a second season at USC, he can improve massively.
He’ll need to play 4
I get that he’s a dad, but LeBron saying Bronny would easily play for the Lakers right now, then getting all indignant when his stock dropped off the mocks is eye-rolling.
Well lebum just like his fans (bronsexuals) are delusional. Not just in sports, but also in live. They loser too tho 👍
Yes they can be teammates, on a G league team
I think based on his basketball IQ (that he's obviously getting from his dad), his lateral quickness, passing ability, and perimeter scoring potential, Bronny could play in the NBA right now, but not as a starter yet. I would even give him some playing time down in the G-league to get his feet wet. But he will definitely be effective in the right system with some good coaching and personnel- especially if the Lakers pick him up.
I love that he's playing off the bench. Hopefully it humbles him and really gives him the push he needs to take it to the next level and show the world next year when he starts.
Finally, someone with actual helpful and valid criticism of Bronny's game. Been seeing too many casuals outright label him a "bust" solely because he's LeBron's kid and they just want to see him fail. His ceiling to me is Rajon Rondo/Lonzo Ball. Not a reliable consistent scorer, but a great passer with good court vision and solid defense.
Casual comment/robot rant
Nice shot, nice movements, great passing, good vision, good athleticism.
Seems like experience is his primary issue. That will come on its own. I would say he looks like he could be in the league, but might take a while to see minutes.
it's like that entire USC team is always half step slower than him.
USC Might Send Prince Bronny To The NBA Draft Class
I actually think Bronny could have a solid NBA career. Obviously, he will get a chance because of who his dad is, but I don't think we should hate on him for that. If I was an NBA great and had a son who had a shot at playing in the NBA, I'd probably do everything I could to get court-time with my kid too. I mean, a lot of dads want to bring their son into the family business and work with/mentor him. I also think that Bronny could fit very well with a fast-paced, 3&D team. Yes, his shot is pretty bad, but it's not like we haven't seen NBA teams turn other non-shooters into viable 3&D players. For example, Grant Williams missed a ridiculous number of threes in his first few seasons in Boston before going on a streak of shooting almost 40% from beyond in the playoffs. Bronny looks like a capable defender and clearly has a high basketball IQ, which would make him a serviceable SG on many NBA teams. If his shot improves to league average, a player that can defend well, make good reads and shoot league average from beyond will always find a home in the NBA.
Right now, I don't see 'star' in his future. However, I do think it's very realistic that Bronny could develop into the type of 3&D SG (maybe SG/SF) that every NBA team would like to have.
I’m late to this but nice vid coach. It’s really sad to see people try to hate and dismiss a teenager because they feel he is overhyped /benefits from nepotism. Maybe that’s true, but he clearly shows some great fundamentals and could do well if he spends more time in college
6:36 love and basketball moment fr
Your voice sounds like mine! Something's going around the whole country I guess. Must be tough when you make your living on a microphone. Thanks for the much needed perspective on this prospect.
I was at the UCLA game as well and Bronny had 3 pass deflections in his first 4 possessions
I knew he had more than what the numbers say
I do agree that he needs to be the lead guard to see what he can do
I fear you've got a fairly young audience who doesn't grasp how amazing it'd be to watch a father and son duo play on the same team ! Can't wait for Bronny to get drafted !
He declared for the NBA draft! 🤯
He has the fundamentals. Just give him 2-3 years in college and a roster not filled with ball hogs.
Excuses…😢
His dad don’t got 3 years
@@melsdifferent1784 Bronny shouldn't care about trying to play with his dad. LeBron was selfish and immature for putting that out there. But hey, we all make mistakes.
He’s had nba training his entire life. There’s no excuse for him not to be the best player on his team.
Your health is your wealth coach. Feel better soon
I’m from china. Growing up I’ve seen people drafted into the NBA just for the sake of marketability. Bronny is at least 5 times more marketable than any of the Chinese I knew. He makes the NBA with or without the interference of his dad.
He's going to the NBA if he wants to. Trust me.
Let us let the kid grow and improve, he'll be better once he gets a full training camp and season in. He is not ready yet but he will be in the future.
What he went through effects him allot he has pins in his chest from surgery just glad to see him out hooping at the highest levels it would be really cool to see lebron play with his son hope it happens blessings bronny ❤
So when your son comes off a heart attack at 19, playing first year in college, with entire world watching him, how many points would be average?
Im writing him off because there are 150-250 draftable players that are better than him right now, its not cuz i didnt watch Bronny its because I watched him and others.
If Bronny gets into the NBA you know it’s privilege and not talent, it’ll be just like Thanasis Antetokounmpo 😂
What have you every did in basketball you probably never even made it to college basketball stop ds thanasis is no where even close to touching bronny skill yall love have yall meat down his throat its embarrassing🤦🏽♂️💀
And that would be bad for the kid. Bronny should enter the NBA not coz of his dad. He can do it. Thanasis is a joke by NBA standards.
What?? Pretty sure TA was already in the league before giannis made a name for himself
lol too bad you will never make it in life 😂
Thanasis was very good defensively in the top leagues of Europe, he deserved his second chance. Bronny doesn't even look like a G league level player yet. Before people get mad, remember most G league guys killed college and some sniffed the NBA or are sent down from there. And Thanasis was G league all defense 10 years ago twice. He's a good pro who isn't quite an NBA player but as a 15th man he's not awful. put it like this. If a deserving NBA benchwarmer 15th man had a 2k rating, it would be about 70. Thanasis would be 68-70. G league average would be 64. College average 55. Bronny would probably be a 55. The worst players getting signed by nba teams are thanasis level or just below but with elite athletic ability at age 20
Feel better coach
Oh Absolutely
Yes
4.8ppg and 36% fg shooting? The last projected pick Kalib Boone is at last scoring 11.8ppg and 58% shooting. For the idea of Bronny being a one and done to even be entertained is bonkers.
What's up with your voice Coach? You sound like Redd Foxx.
Yeah and get well soon coach Nick.
Sounds like he's recovering from a cold---probably why the last video used an AI voice
Cmon coach. This is nonsense. If he wasn’t lebrons son I guarantee you would not say he has nba potential. The kid is shooting 36% from the field in the world conference in the country
YO THE SEAT GEEK STAB AT BRONNY WAS UNCALLED FOR. I kinda like it tho...
From what I’ve seen online, he’s basically a perfect lebron teammate, can pass with ease so he s a fast break menace, he got a 3pt shot, from anywhere, he can defend , good hands, I would take bronny just cause of the raw potential, and cause he’s lebron son, you gotta take him just to be able to develop him correctly, and if it’s a guarantee lebron follows his son then for sure do it
Which NBA player is comparable to Bronny? And what is his ceiling?
Looking forward for the father son duo to fruition. 👍🏼 The kid has a decent jump shot form than his oldman😅.
bronny has the physical tools and IQ he just needs to work on his handles and develop a go to move with some counters . he should hit up big bro Kyrie for some off season work .
Nepotism at its finest. History will repeat itself and just like Jordan’s kids, a name only goes so far in the nba
If “a name only goes so far in the nba”, then it’s not “nepotism at its finest”
@@rsdigiomoney, 😂 people just be babbling here
lol grown idiots hating on a kid 😂
I think LeBron will play with his son 100%. To me it looks like he's fully embracing the "old man" game to save up his body for one last championship push with his son. He's shown he can still take over a game but he doesn't do it so often.
feel better coach
He’s got Bron’s passing gene he would be great to play with once he polishes up his game a little. I see him as a Ben Simmons type player with a jump shot (defense, playmaking)
I really think he could be a Alex Caruso like player. He’s got good energy on the defensive end and with his athleticism and frame I really think he could really bothered guards and even some wings. Offensively to this point I’m not exactly sure how well he can play off the ball with his best skill being passing. I’m not too worried about the shot right now. Although his percentages are horrible that can be developed with time and getting use to higher level basketball. Regardless of how you feel about him or LeBron I think it’s a bit ridiculous to write him off this early. That’s goes for all struggling freshman somethings take a little time
Bronny James Jr GREAT ROLE PLAYERS any team 💯
with the transfer portal and USC playing against better competition next year...this dude could have a hard road to a starting spot
They can be on the same team at the house in the driveway.😂
The only incentive for wanting bronny james on your team is that Lebron might follow
the only thing stopping lebron from playing with bronny is lebron. if he commits to playing with bronny on a team friendly deal, within the next 2 years, he will get drafted in the second round. its like trading a second rounder for bronny and lebron. no brainer
The Hype around Bronny going to the NBA is not because he was a great player, but because of media and fans want to see Lebron playing against or with his son.
Bronny needs additional experience in College Basketball to prove himself, and if he doesn't succeed, it's not even a problem, his Dad is a Billionaire.
what's with the voice, coach
I go to USC. Trust me, we’re all frustrated with the coaching. We have so much talent but poor performance.
He should play 2-3 years in college take his time. Growth over anything.
It's a mostly fair assessment I'd say. I think the fact that he's not a starter and was dropped from the mock draft says something about him, but that could easily change with time.
WHY DOES THE OREGON COURT LOOK LIKE SUM DUDE SPILLED DOODOO WATA ON D FLOOR ?
More Reps is what he needs. He’ll be fine.
Glad to see he didn’t end up another jab injury casualty, at least not yet.
His dad is Lebron - he’s not a typical first year player
Comparable to D Lillard freshmen year at Weber State? Wish he'd stay a few years.
He gone be great coming off the spurs bench once drafted
Bronny is definitely going to get a contract!!!...
Will he be in the NBA long and have a great career? idk probably not...
But think about how much viewership, news stories, social media posts, commentary, etc etc etc is going to occur from a game where LeBron James and his son are on the floor together. Thats way too much potential $$$ and attention for the NBA to ignore. They're going to manufacture and exploit every little bit out of it.
He’s ready! The guy can play!
