If this wasn’t Lebron’s son, no one but the most hardcore college basketball fan would even know who he is.
And 1+1 = 2
Obviously
Also if he wasn’t and he put on the performance he did yesterday people would be like who’s this gem
@@JohanLWill7_that’s a lie and stop repeating what you heard on Gil’s arena
Thank neopotism
he is going to steal a paycheck from a young man who actually earned it
Exactly
The answer is either yes or no. Stop the madness.
Everybody sees Bronny and can’t separate him from Bron. The kid just wants to MAKE a team. JR Smith’s brother, Goran Dragic’s brother, Giannis’ brother - there is precedence for what is happening here, our memories are just too short term now.
And all of those have been embarrassing but at least Thanasis is 6’7” while Bronny is 6’1”
lebron james jr
@@nedschneebly5424 none of those gifted roster spots hurt a team so I don’t understand why people are so triggered and outraged. Way lesser players than Lebron have called in favors. Life ain’t fair. 🤷🏽♂️
@@stilldre247because you got players that are clear as day better than bronny in their sleep. Y’all just say it’s hate because it’s lebum son.
@@javorisborden24 this kid literally almost died less than a year ago and had open heart surgery like what, 9 months ago. It is hate, and it’s toxic tbh.
This guy gets it, there's talent and college coaches are very strict about players running their systems
Isiah Collier looked fine in that system
@@lghrnsDid he? They lost a lot of games.
@@joshido7352 and dude left (the coach in question did) before they could fire him.
They going do bronny worst than lonze ball😂😂😂😂😂😂
💯
Lonze Ball at least was an NBA level player!!!
lonzo and bronny aren’t even in the same universe as an nba prospect. Lonzo was mr. California basketball in HS and was an all American in college.
Lonzo ball could’ve been a rotation player for a championship team. He had great athleticism, and he still has touch as a distributor.
I don’t think bronny has any of that
Lonzo ball got better once he got out from under brons shadow just like Randle, Larry nance jr, DLO, BI, Josh Hart.
This guy seems really knowledgeable. Never heard him before.
This dude knows what he is talking about! Good shit…
No he a nepo baby
This is the most honest take ive heard regarding Bronnie's potential as an NBA player. Gil is incapable of doing it because of his conflict of interest. He's not trashing Bronnie, either.
Bronnie is the kid who gets to skip the line because of his dad.
Finally someone being 100 percent honest about Bronny James!!!
This isn't a real question. He sucked at USC
He’s not ready and that’s ok
He not ready but this to me is his best chance of getting drafted and making a roster . I think he had to go loo
He is ready y’all don’t know what
@@bdukes8075he should’ve stayed in school and make that NIL money and gain some experience.
@@joshido7352 naw if he stayed he might not have made it to the NBA. He needed to leave now while there was some interest. It’s been a few players who didn’t leave when they should have and got their games picked apart or an injury and never made it to the league. Scottie Thurman from the Razorbacks always sticks out to me. They won national championship and he would have been a lottery pick. He came back to college and never made it to the league🤦♂️
@@abzda1700based on what exactly??
The thing I don't understand about Bronny is that it's clear he will never be a star or superstar so why rush getting into a permanent role player position when he can enjoy the college life and potentially be a star on that team.
Because he wants to play with his dad
Playing longer in college might expose him. Don't know how much the heart issue hampered his development but considering how scouts look at this draft compared to next year's, it's probably smart for him to capitalize now to avoid showing more tape.
Bc his Dad wanted him to jump in now, for his own selfish reasons
You dont know that
Last time to get paid. Will be more data next year
6:07 facts. Skipped the process in a way that serves Lebron and his legacy. He know that kid getting cooked by everybody on purpose. If he’s supposed to guard Kyrie it’s going to be all bad. He might get cooked by Deuce McBride
If this kid was smart, he’d finish school and go and work for Rich Paul. I suppose he still could.
No one knows. But what we do know is that no other scout would even be here.
THANK YOU
Honestly, Bronny doesn’t have the game to really kill in college. Any team he is on he will be a role player. Like he can be on your local rec team, he still not going to score fr… that’s just him! So he might as well capitalize on this window of opportunity to be in the league.. He’s never going to play his way into the NBA
By floating the possibility he will go play with his son, Bron basically is getting his son $5M bucks or so for free.
I was saying the same thing about this draft. There’s no stars but you have a lot of talented and skilled role players. If a GM is smart he’d try to get as many of them as he can
I like this dude talking. He has great insights and not over takes likes others at the 4 letter network.
He’s like another cole Anthony, and as far as the intrigue go it’s just to see him play on the floor at the same time with his dad it’s never been done before that’s it
He’s small and not good enough period. They are talking about him and giving him attention only because of his father. People need to stop catering to an extremely entitled Lebron James.
It would really benefit Bronny to go back to college and improve his basketball talent. He'll be maming money through NIL anyway, so it's a win-win.
A 6'1 guard that doesnt shoot well in games is not an exciting prospect. He could develope well but currently not a guy id spend a pick on
G league Bronny, look at Shareef O’Neal straight 🗑️🗑️🗑️
7:24 💯
Yeah i just hate the fact that they are forcing this kid on us, is he really even that good, at 6' 1" with no handles
Everybody gotta cap these days he is not ready period smh
Or talk about Bronny like they are making a hostage tape and someone is off camera with a gun.
They say the only person that could hold Jordan under 25 points was Dean Smith.
Lebron is pulling a “Lavar Ball”. Levar got the Lakers to draft his son, by hyping him up so much 😂😂
Nah. Lonzo was balling for UCLA.
Lonzo was a consensus all American as a freshman he earned his way into the nba
He wasn't in the top 20 high school players until someone pointed it out and then all the sudden he McDonald's All American.
Mccants said all this..but they blasted him
Bronny Modeled his game after the wrong prototype. At his size he should've studied or worked with Chris Paul, worked with Kyrie, or even looked at John Wall or Rondo all four are PGs but got KILLER give me ball and ill get buckets all day and embarrass you type of demand and game Bronny was not gon be 6'7 ... bron should've seen that and pushed him to those guys EARLY
Yes yes yes
I don’t know if Bronny is a NBA player, but “HIS DAD ON THAT BALCO, THAT NEW JUICE”. - KEVIN GARNETT 🥷🥷🥷🔥
| Bronny has played alongside elite talent his entire life. He’s had league bound teammates from SC and USC. This idea that he’s now all of a sudden so out of his depth and shouldn’t be in the NBA is nonsense.
This should only be about how and when to transition to the NBA. Clearly he and his team thinks that now is the time. Being a college great is not his goal. Via him, making the league and making his own name in the league is his goal.
In the last year he’s gone from fighting for his actual, literal life, to outperforming draft prospects in an open and unbiased combine setting. If he was any other prospect, he’d be applauded for making it back to the court, let alone performing well in the most impt workouts of his life.
His path won’t be traditional, and clearly that irks a lot of you, but the reality is that at worst, if he doesn’t ever improve, right now, he’s a high IQ, freakishly athletic, knockdown shooter, 3 and D guy. with a heavily underrated offensive bag.
Mens Ncaa Basketball is starless due to the lack of coaching In Highschool and AAU circuits. AAU is just a shooting clinic. That Duke class with Zion, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish with coach K. All these kids play exactly the same Iso ball and shoot, theres no separation of talent just height.
Finally someone keeping it real….bru is 6’1 but doesn’t look like a real point guard at all
Because he’s a shooting guard duh . Not hard to understand
@@benadek6703 How many 6'1 shooting guards you see in the league smh
@@skip3853 not many but there’s a first for everything and y’all act like he’s done growing
@@benadek6703 Yeah so who the h*** is he going to guard being a 6"1 shooting guard and he can't play point guard??
@skip3853 thank you lmao didn’t think I had to explain that there isn’t many successful 6’1 shooting guards 😂
I see Bronny like a Tony Allen type player.
T Allen is way more aggressive
From Nigeria... It's refreshing to hear truth on the way brons manipulating a star.... He came out of a week draft... He was under pressure... Klutch sports @work.....meanwhile a side note... WOULDN'T IT MAKE SENSE IF ATHLETES KIDS INSTEAD OF BECOMING ATHLETES BECAME REPORTERS, GMS, COACHES, OWNERS.......?
Wiggs averaged 20 since he been in the league almost and Jabari was cold until he got hurt!
“I don’t get a feeling there’s REAL intrigue around Bronny” yet there’s 100s of podcasts talking about him 😂😂
about him but rarely about how great his game is
If Giannis' brother is an NBA player, Bronny can be an NBA player.... just sayin
6’1 pass first wing…
2:51 he really meant I know I’m not that good I’m lucky if I make it to the NBA
"tough to say".... all you need too know!
He is just a regular NBA player. That's ok
8-15 man on a roster. Which is Ok
I don’t even gotta watch this to know that Bo hates all things LeBron
Who is Travonne Edwards
There's a whole tons of players are not NBA ready but when you are the goat and you're one of the goats and you have a son dude, you can only teach him to be better than everybody else my guy
Why is this guy doing more talking than Bomani
NBA fans know Bronny isnt a good basketball player. But, hes good enough to be a low minutes role player on a team will Lebron. Seeing Lebron play with his son would be interesting tho. Its going to be a good story.
He's 6"3
Reed shepherd and bronny the same size.
With more guard skills he can be good but it’s probably too soon!
Everyone is leaving out the outlier that the kid always has a job for the Cavs his dad is the greatest player to ever play for that franchise and won them a ring he ALWAYS has a job and will have a chance to develop there
Thank you Travonne! This positionless thing is kinda bs because it makes your team even more flawed than realized. Everyone cant be golden state
Height isnt really an issue for me its just his current lack of in game skill
He's basically Gary Payton II
Not even
He’s playing in the games. You’re watching him. He’s got a draft position. Just let it be that. Homie tried to say, “I didn’t get an invite for those stats…” Bro.. He played with 5 5-stars at USC, had a cardiac event, AND is performing at the combine. He ain’t a 1st rounder, but he’s not stealing a job being projected as the 54th pick. Chill out…
And I totally agree.. Bron ain’t goin where he at. Lol! They can give up on that dream.
Okay, let's be honest right now. Brawny James is in shape. He's only going to get stronger and faster and better as it goes for going in shape. No someone's trying to stay on this show that he can only play the one and not the two or the three. Wow I'm pretty sure he'll be able to play some three sometimes and he'll be playing volleyball on defense because he'll be bigger and stronger and faster. So at the end of the day what are you really saying my guy that he's not going to get better? He's not going to get stronger faster. He's not in shape right now. He's more in shape than all the other players. He was in shape and he was as big as the centers
If bronny want to really make a name he should Disguise and go into the combine and see what the results are lol
Lol someone seen too many movies
What's going to hurt him is, up until yesterday we all thought he was 6'4". I'm still not exactly sure how they pulled that one off.
I’m no genius, but I thought it was obvious he was not 6’4” - made me think of the old trick back in the day where we listed our heights & weights a bit more than they actually were 😏
being 6'1 makes it harder on him , 6'1 and below average talent is not good
They pulled it off by lying 🤥
Bronny’s getting drafted…
Bronny should develop more in college. At the end of the day this should be all about Bronny making a career for him self and not fulfilling your dads dream to play with him.
As a father who pulled strings to get his child an internship. Id do it again to make people more mad😅
Why don't you tell the truth he not ready so I would not put him end the NBA
This whole video is talking out both sides of their mouth…
Why are people so down on this years class? Bronny aside (he should come back for another year in college) there's a bunch of quality players. Not franchise guys hut definitely guys who can come in and play immediately. Yes last years class was amazing, but I say it was very top heavy.
It’s because media only feed people about bronny 🤷🏾♂️ then. march came and went🤫
Buzelis and Holland are pretty good already... There's gonna be a handful of college players that kill it too. I feel like at least one of the foreign kids (Topic, Sarr, Rissacher) will be good pretty early too
Last years draft was STACKED tho but i fee u
@@86Sentra I feel after the top 20 talent got watered down a little bit.
No, No and No. LeBron is being selfish and wants to play with son, instead of improving his game. It's a miracle Bronny played this past season
Bronny going 1st pick to Hawks. Lebron will become a 2% stake holder in the team and be co-head coach/player. Anthony Davis will tear both mcl's falling to his knees in desperation.
LeQueen is why Bronny even left school for the Draft. It was solely so Lebron can play with his kid, and then EsPn will talk about how MJ never played with his son
LeBron is clearly forcing this issue. Why is it so important for him to play with his son? I know that he saw Ken Griffey Junior and Senior do it, but Junior was really really really really good.
This is not fair to Bronny, and I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal to add to LeBron‘s legacy. I think LeBron thinks somehow this is really going to add something special to his legacy when it’s really not. People are not that impressed that he will be playing with his son, especially if his son does not appear to have genuinely earned a professional basketball spot. If the narrative is basically that Bronny was shoehorned into the NBA because of his last name, then that does not enhance LeBron‘s legacy.
I also feel like this is somewhat akin to LeBron maybe having some daddy issues. His dad was not there for him, and I think when he saw Ken Griffey Junior and Senior doing that, it really touched his heart in a unique way. He really needs to just let that go and allow Bronny to develop normally.
It’s going to be extremely unfair when LeBron is out of the league, and Bronny is basically left to the wolves because his value will diminish greatly once his dad is not attached to him. I am just not sure that even if he has a couple of years developing under LeBron that he’s going to be a strong role player. His game needs a lot of work, and at his size, he’s really going to have to be better at shooting the ball.
I can’t imagine the pressure on that young man - especially with a narcissistic dad using you for attention 😂
NO he ain't nowhere near READY...but because he is who he is they will make every effort to help him be READY....I didn't think he was McDonald's all American ...but it is what it is
I will compare him to Greg Anthony's son on the upside.
Cole Anthony is way better & was way better than bronny at every level of competition
What would benefit him more...2 to 3 years in school or 2 to 3 years working out and training with NBA coaches. Go to the NBA!
teams dont have time to develop players, thats what the G league is for.
@@socalgolf9978 says the man that I'm sure has NEVER been around NBA players, GM, Teams or any of that. They have the time.
THE YOUNG MAN THAT JUST PASSED AWAY RECENTLY THAT USE TO PLAY W/ THE LAKERS DARIUS HE WAS FROM CARSON & HE JUST PASSED AWAY BRONNY COULD NOT "F" W/ HIM NO CAPPING
No
6:30 i think this is dead wrong. People want to see him. USC had more eyes on them this year at a national level because of him even when they were a bad team. Plus this year's draft is not even exciting compared to the past 4-5 years. This is the perfect year to sneak him in regardless of his potential.
He needs to go to the spurs
I'll take him over Stephen A. Smith any day 😂🎉🎉🎉
FRANK NITTY I HAVE NEVER BEEN A FAVOR OF BIG MOUTHS IN PLAYING SPORTS PERIOD MAN ALL I HAVE TO SAY FOR YOU FRANK NITTY BRONNY MAKES IT IN THE NBA DREW LEAGUE & RUCKER PARK & VENICE BEACH PLAYERS NEED TO BE CALLING OUT BRONNY ASAP FRANK YOU ARE A LOUD MOUTH MAN I AM FEELING YOUR PAIN NO CAPPING
05/17/24: Everyone is focusing on Bronny. Barring injuries and un-forseen circumstances, Bryce will be the breakout basketball player, watch and see.
Yes. First time I saw the two play, it was clear that Bryce is the NBA player, not Bronny
His numbers ain’t great either. Thought same thing til I looked into it
Bronny did nothing in college mannn nothing but he’s in the draft all because of his dad 😂
Yes but in a 7 or 8th man role
Prolly not even that. G league at best
Is Bronny better then Liangelo Ball?
Omg it’s not tough to say. It’s a no. Who is paying all these guys to not tell the truth 😂
He looks like an all star...2nd baseman/CF 😮
😂MAN Yall people in the media all get paid to say the samething…
No disrespect but Giannis brothers, Quin Cook, Holiday, Seth Curry, Austin Rivers. They all mediocre to not productive. Just cause some play bad or good in college don’t mean nothing in the NBA.
My point is Bronny can fill a roster spot and do the EXACT same thing but with a HOF dad who will push him harder stop HATING he will be fine!
No.
People saying go back to college or he not ready tripping. He getting a look right now. If he go back to college at his size going back to college might hurt him and he never make it to the league. He need to go now while he got a chance and Lebron still in the league
Bronny being as athletic as he is let’s me know all he needs is time develop his skill set and he will be just fine
Is it me or is Travonne a lil sassy 💁♀️💅🤔?
Doesnt matter. His Daddy gon get him in regardless and im here for it.
WHAT SHOULD BE CLEAR TO BRONNY AS OF RIGHT NOW W/OUT A DOUBT THAT HE IS CLEARLY NOT READY FOR NO NBA LET ALONE BEING A STARTER OR A STAR THE ONLY STAR AS OF NOW BRONNY JAMES HAS IS "COMING" FROM THE FAMOUS NUT SACK OF HIS FATHER LEBRON RAMONE JAMES NO CAPPING
He should've stayed in college to develop.
You know dog on wear brownie is not a good 3-point shooter quit lying
Why can't we say the draft sucks?
Drafts aren't drafting how they used to. Saying that isn't a diss, it's the state of college hoops. Let's stop this participation trophy shit.
