I will say this, LeBron raised the bar on the whole ‘Bring Your Kid To Work’ concept…
Good one🧴🤛🥩💀😂😂😂
😂
Underrated comment lol
I mean the proof is in the pudding
🤣🤣🤣 I'm definitely using that one! Well done! 👏👏
Dirk nowitzi got a hundred million less to help the mavericks.
Meanwhile LeBron james be taking 3 million less and acts like he's saving the franchise from economic disaster...
Bronny on the team is going to make them more money than if they signed any other player
@@Christo_Trismegistus while missing the playoffs in the process
Lakers failed to recruit anyone. That's why LeBron only took a 3m pay cut. It would've been a higher pay cut if they could actually landed a player
Duncan also took pay cuts and it's like it never happened, and we have to keep in mind that both players were making less money than today's players.
@@enamuossuothat’s why fans all love Duncan and Dirk. We appreciate loyalty.
Tim Duncan TOOK a paycut voluntarily going from $21 million to $10 million and this was over ten years ago. Dirk took a $14 million pay cut so that they could sign better talent. $3 million da fuhhhh
I'm sure that 3mil went towards Bronny's contract.
And his $500,000 advance...since when does the 55th pick get a 4 year guaranteed contract with a $500,000 advance?...
@@ajjamaal646I was thinking the same
I mean from the looks of it nobody’s even tryna play in La right now. This might be Lebron’s last contract ever, can you blame him for taking as much money as he can? Lol
@@ethanoquendo1035 I mean, kind of? The dood is already essentially a billionaire. I would 100% sacrifice more money to actually try and win, but he went ahead and forced his son on his team.
I’m so glad the late great Kobe Bean Bryant, the legend Jerry West and the boss Dr. Buss aren’t around to see this clown show
😂
Jerry west wouldn't have cared. He was a clipper for a while. Man would have been like good 😂😂😂
I feel sorry for poor James Worthy.
It probably wouldn't have happened if they were alive
Amen to that my man respect.
$3M pay cut is like a wife saying “I spent $97 at target instead of $100, be proud of me” 😂😂😂. All this lakers drama, I don’t blame other players not wanting to go there.
That money went to his son's new contract. I'm not sure how that wasn't mentioned.
@@Marcus-kc9wcthats not how it works 😂
@jusbertmeza4424 he wouldn't need to take a pay cut if they payed his son like any other 55th pick.
Duncan won & achieved more than Kobe, but people dont come to watch him. Hence the smaller salary.
Bronny is one of the highest paid rookies this class, lebron took 3mil off his contract bronny got 7.9/1.9 a year @jusbertmeza4424
I jumped on the Lakers in 1996, damn it has always been fun being a Laker fan! Alot of winning! Kobe was a damn animal. But today, it’s very embarrassing being a Laker fan. It’s a clown show
The Lakers are the NBA's version of a Jake Paul fight RN
@@gr33dyglutton 😂
@@gr33dyglutton😂😂 I’m dead
You a glory hunter then, Lakers always been successful until recently

Ain’t no free agents wanna sign with the Lakers with all this blame game, drama and nepotism going on
💯
You mean There aren't any .
I like how yall are pretend caring about the nepotism lol.
@@22s22a"care" about? they're just pointing it out
just because you're okay with this example of nepotism doesn't change that this still is nepotism at the end of the day
Don’t nobody care about the nepotism. The other two points are valid
He want to take a Paycut for 3 million to sign Paul George for 1 Million, Demar Derozan 1 million and Klay Thompson for 1 million hahahahahah
Lakers turned into a Lebron sideshow
sadly i think without him the Lakers wouldn't be any kind of show at all
@@bart_fox_hero2863 that's what teams have to go through to get better. Gotta hit the reset button
Your comments sums up the lakers as a whole rn
“Clown show “ 😂
If the NBA was boxing, the Lakers would be a Jake Paul fight.
Bron unknowingly putting target on his son's back.
Those other rookies who went to draft and worked their asses off just to get in will not be going easy against his "PRIVILEGED SON".
How a guy deserves to keep a franchise hostage for his wishes? Does he won 11 chips for that franchise? 6 in a row? Take significant pay cuts? What incredible thing he did? None? Get tha f....out of here
Agreed 100%
I agree 100%...even though to be fair, the other teams must be relieved they don't have to deal with Bronny.
Best comment yet. Truth
Agree 100%. I’m going to have a brown paper bag over my head this next season
One season though
A top free agent chose the Kings over the Lakers. That's how badly this glamorous franchise has fumbled the timeline! The cow bells shall ring in unison.
No one wants play with Lebum and circus show 🤡
DeMar choose 76 million over 12M
The problem is that teams love overpaying for players these days. From Klay, to that franz dude in the Magic. Hell, 76ers really fucked up with PG. Demar is not getting younger at 34.
They just paid more. He was begging to go to the Lakers 😂
And the Lakers wanted all of them and got none of them
Bronny's agent is telling teams to not draft him so he goes to the Lakers? Who the hell wants to draft a kid who averaged less than 5 points a game in college?
But that's tampering ain't it?🤔
They did that for the chance to lure Lebron in free agency by signing his son. Rich was saying that if another team drafts bronny that isn’t the lakers, they’ll ship him off to Australia for a year so he can sign with the lakers in the postseason.
Publicity his name will attract some attention, media coverage the nba became business first that’s international players are dominating the league they been trained to compete and win…
So they can make money. Even if he sucks, people will tune in to see if he has a shot. And really, he’s not nearly as bad as people keep saying.
Bronny thinks he Kobe or something 😂
Stephen A was right , Bronny is not ready for the NBA
Brony actually did a really good job on defense he caused several places to go bad. Plus she had two stills on defense. Several touch passes that he didn't get credit for assist or anything like that because you were just making the right play. He looks like the kind of player that's going to do all the right things but never really gets credit for doing it. Typical criticism from the media because he's not doing amazing things. Just the right things.

The kid is not good enough to play on China. 4-4-2 on 36%. Born to an NBA superstar he’s had the best coaching in the world since the day he came into it. To pretend he just needs to develop is simply disingenuous.
It's disingenuous to think it's a development issue. He needs to finesse and improve on what he already has.
@@georgewashingtoniv8745 If you think he has some type of game already that can be improved on your brainwashed. He’s just not a good basketball player. You don’t suddenly figure it out at 20 when you’ve already had the best coaching in the world since the day you were born.
@@user-kb7ue7hg2yfacts. People said he should’ve cooked more in College at least, but this is just a disgrace deadass. What a joke for Reddick to say “Bronny earned this. We aren’t giving it to him” I bet you there’s 1000’s of kids out there who would steamroll Bronny

Still not gonna buy your OF.
Also shot 41% from three at age 39 and the season before this one they made it to the wcf when nobody expected them to make the play in...but I'd love to know who your team is assuming you aren't jus tryna promote your OF here.
Alright then Lebron 40k points 41%3pt 40years of age last year got to the semi finals against the same team that they lost too

Rejected by Dan
Rejected by PG
Rejected by Klay

I don't blame any of them. The Lakers aren't a serious team right now. All the focus will be on LBJ and his trying to launch his son's NBA career.
😂 I think it’s funny anyway.

It’s like you get a new job and they make you dress up as a clown and have everyone in the office throw eggs at you every day you come to work. Who wants that? When there’s another office next door who will treat you like a regular employee for the same pay.
Bronny went from a 19 ear old senior in HS having 3 0 point games to starting in the nba is insane
Starting?
tf he talking bout he hasn't even play in the NBA yet
When we lose this year I wonder who will be blame JJ redirck or bronny jj
JjJj will be
Probably jJ

No it's on Lebron this time because no free agents coming because of him and this Bronny bs.
Kyrie a damn genius now
Brought a Mickey Mouse championship and ecstatic abt in season tournament. That’s his argument for a goat😂😂😂😂 oh and his son’s gonna be an added resume for a phony goat case. Yup
stop hating. u sound like a failure.
What is wrong with winning the in-season tournament? Why in the world is that a mark against him? Should have have lost on purpose just to be one of the cool kids?
I think the tournament is silly and shouldn't exist, but that's on Silver, not Lebron.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq because it's statpadding lmao if you think the tournament shouldnt exist, why should it even be considered an accolade by anyone else? That's the whole point 😂
@@anthonychristianson411 So he should have just lost on purpose so you wouldn't make fun of him? It's silly. You're literally using a win of competitive basketball against him.
@JonSmith-hk1bq Yall are not getting the point last time he won was that bubble and nothing since then celebrating In Season championship like he won the NBA final the shit looks goofy. Bronny hasn't done anything to shows he's NBA ready at least Lonzo showed some kind of protenional.
Imagine flexing $3mil pay cut, while literally being a billionaire. If he really cared for the team, he'd just sign a $2mil veteran minimum, it's not like he'll ever ran out of money...
He should’ve atleast take a pay cut equivalent to his kids salary. Since they signed his bum kid for him
Player's association wouldn't allow him to do something like that.
Bron is racking up money to take a majority stake in the new vegas expansion team. It is a part of a longterm plan. Bron is gonna sign his son Bryce James to his Vegas team and offer him the supermax 5 years after drafting bryce james for a whopping 350M dollars on a 5 year deal (roughly 200M dollars in today's money).
Wow a pay cut of 3 Million…. He’s just full of himself
And how would u feel if 3 mil just fell into your lap
Kobe would never done that but, that's why Lebron has the Laker's front office doing his bitting.
@@el1tefire252 Lebron is a billionaire... 3 mil ain't really a lot to him.
@@el1tefire252 Talk about false equivalence, huh!? LOL
8 mill went to his son so that small pay cut will get them an over the hill veteran player
Every player who signs with another team and then seeing laker fans sad makes me happy lol
Yeah, they missed on Klay Thompson. Good for the Mavs. LeBron past passive-aggressive stuff and flopping catching up with him.
It’s especially funny because laker fans got so entitled to a buffet style selection of players over the years. Welcome to the rest of the NBA, where you aren’t just handed star players on team friendly deals
Zac Levine to the Lakers thoooo
💯
@@SuperOmnicronsj44You don't watch basketball, huh?
Bronny really seems to be a great kid! Sadly he sucked in college. He does not have the skills to play in the NBA!
Bronny does have the skills to play in the nba as a 14, maybe 15th man. Once in a while, get 2-3 minutes, drop a dime or get a bucket, those guys are really underrated.
He is really likeable in the clips I have seen. I hope that last year was more of a reflection of his heart issue and that he develops into a solid role player at least. Do not like his dad a whole lot but I am rooting for Bronny. I think u are right though and do not think he becomes a good NBA player.
@@Yeshuaspupil He would have been a good streamer too. He seems like a pretty entertaining guy.
@@YuuArgay honestly he isn't hungry for it. To me Bronny looks like he enjoys playing basketball but he doesn't look like he has a thrist for competition. What makes Kobe great is he thrist for competition. You look at Lebron he had a thrist for a better life. Bronny has basically reached his goal so now what is he going to do.
He sucked in high school too.
LeBron managed to make his supporters hate him. I used to admire his game, but his antics has become too toxic even for a fan to see. Can't wait to see him gone.
Yea, I'm tired of him being a deadbeat dad and taking money away from his family. He needs to stop partying so much at strip clubs and cheating on his wife. Def needs to average more than 25 pts per game.
as long as YOU'RE miserable
its a "good" thing 😂
literally what did he do?
@@majora919exactly. There are so many more layers above him to make these decisions. Love how the narrative points the finger at him as the culprit. Not saying he hasn’t swayed a few decisions, but in the end, it’s not his responsibility.
Before he went to the heat. The only criticism was that he hasn’t won yet.

I'm going to be honest. This is hillarious. The Lakeres are not getting a star for the pile of crap they have, and even teams like Portland are holding their feet to the fire.
Lakers effectively called that WCF an accident, Firing Ham 😂😂
"Play with LeBron and get a ring". .... RIGHT.
In the past 20 years only the Spurs and warriors have won as many championships as a LeBron team has.
@Christo_Trismegistus sure, but he moved to teams that were positioned. The Heat titles were as much Wade's as James.
Is that why he won MVP and finals MVP when LeBron was there@@RurbanWalker
@ColombianAssassin he didn't but you think he wasn't a factor?
@@RurbanWalker yeah people are acting like Wade was a nobody as soon as bron joined the heat just so that he gets all the credit

Lakers used to be my favorite team when Kobe was on it with Derrick fisher now it’s a dub
How can Bron and the family be so shocked or emotional about Bronnys name being called when they staged it to have his name called? Ridiculous!
And it is going to backfire ... that debut was pathetic. Maybe he gets his fg percentage up at some point.
As a lakers fan I don’t know how much more bullshit I can take from this handicapped front office and LeSeniorCitizen James… Thankfully my eyes will be on Minnesota this year because there is nothing more electric than Ant right now 💯
@@TeeJay_Fringe then you are not a Lakers fan then are you Mr. Will be looking at Minnesota?
Everybody knows the ride with Lebron ends up with blame and trade or buyout.
Sorry, flight, Mike. You said you're a lakers, fan, so anything. After that, it's not even worth listening to. Especially saying that he deserves to make a fix with the NBA. To get to play with his son before he retires. That is the biggest case of nepotism. I have ever seen.
EXACTLY! 👎
Bronny flexing those 4 points and 2 for 9
JJ will be blamed for the lakers struggles ofc
Bro thinks one first round draft pick is enough for Trae young, Murray, and Donovan 💀
Took a pay cut. Gives the money right back to his son. Coincidence? I think not.
For Bronny to have that kind of contract is very undeserving. That's clearly nepotism at its finest. No wonder nobody wants to be a part of this circus show in LA. From Dan Hurley, Klay, Harden, Valenciunas, to Derozan.
8:45...... this is what bronny lacks he's a kid of a billionare.... who was handed a 4 year contract because of it.... he has no drive.
A little bit of humble pie for the lakers and their fans. They always think they deserve the best free agents, well I’m glad the other teams swooped them up this time.
This is an embarrassment. Maybe the Lakers should move back to minnesota... I can always dream 😂
honestly i think that if Bronny's last name wasn't James he wouldn't be in so much drama
If Bronny's last name wasn't 'James', he wouldn't be in the league...

That's a lot of cope, considering Lebron's sporting agency manages a good chunk of the league.
How much mileage will they still get out of the father-son thing when they're 15-25 at the All-Star break? Will camera shots of Bronny on the bench drive that much increase in ratings?

the only benefit, playing for an iconic franchise, LA Lakers.
Well, the Lakers look like they're going to have the most stable lineup in the NBA next year. Basically the same team that got to the WCF two seasons ago.
Frankly, I don't think you realize that the mood inside the locker room is pretty good. Those guys like playing together.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq the most stable lineup in the NBA? are you taking that starting lineup over the Celtics, Thunder, and Mavericks?
the mood inside the locker room is pretty good? okay maybe you were in that locker room to know lol, but seeing so many coaches and players getting kicked off year after year is a scary thought for players
I think that has affected the players free agency decisions along with Lebron's age
The lakers are still a threat and are a good team, it's just the west is loaded, young, and talented.

Lebron took a "pay cut" so Bronny could get a gauranteed contract
We all knew this was coming. LeBron James is like Homelander right now.
Call me crazy but I think with the right coaching, alongside a healthy consistent roster this team can easily be a 6 or even 5 seed. Assuming they are a 6 seed, they can make some solid trades as certain players' (DLo, Hachimura, etc) stocks will increase giving other players the confidence to join the Lakers. As of right now, players are hesitant since the Lakers have been struggling, but if they can shock the league by getting out of the play-in range by the trade deadline more players will be willing to play alongside LeBron and AD.
But that's the point: If you don't change anything, why should you expect different results? All they did was replace their coach with a guy that's never coached! It's almost comical. If one of their big 2 get injured, look out.
