As a dad, ima do whatever it takes to get my son to the league. You guys can lie all you want. We’ve all gotten a job off someone we knew. 😂
Yep nepotism is American as Apple pie
if he averaged 4 points a game in college, what do you think he's gonna do in the NBA?
Nobody said they wouldn't, but expect to get criticised and grow thicker skin.
@@dewzedo exactly. It’s only an issue now. I wonder why lol
@@MilkiasDebessay bro who cares. Get in the door first.
The ride home when they lose by 30 gonna be crazy😂😂😂😂
It's the NBA idiot 🤡 you win some you lose some but you'll still be broke AF🤣
They still get paid the same amount whether they win or lose?
😂
Bronny requesting trade. He's about to see what it's like playing next to LeGM. Gotta take all the defensive assignments and get blamed when Lebron takes plays off and if your shots not falling because you gotta catch and shoot in LeSystem, it's your fault.
@@Rich_iam you sound like a LeRet@rd
They should start Bronny and Lebron together with JJ's social media plays so we can have an hour long of Shaqtin' a Fool videos every week.
Lakers drafting Bronny, made the draft FUNNY.😂
Pelinka Look Like He Was Lying Thru That Press Conference 😅
Retarded OUTREACH program
Bronny is the underdog foo. He may become a beast
@@newestbarbee3250 that dog, DONT HUNT💯🤣
Every single pick in the NBA draft average at least 10pts per games, except this one.
The number 1 pick avg 9pts though?
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv oh boy u better double check
Dude tried to sound like he knew what he was talking abt 😂
dats cap off top of my head Peyton watson was 30th pick in 2022 and avg less points than bronny but nb blinked an eye cuz he not known 😂
You seen all of his games at usc but yall didn’t see Jaime jr at ucla 🤦♂️
Knecht already better than him. We don't want to hear all that
Yeah get over it you Mexican
Lebron james sleeping with his teammates mom now for real lol congrats to bronny tho
Dude, just no.
Have some class, man.
Your joke wasnt funny at all.
He slept with your mom?
@@leonardobraynen1524 it's true though so whatchu mad about 💀
@leonardobraynen1524 It was hilarious. Why so upset over a CZcams joke lol
It was kinda funny . Laugh a little man geeesh . Lol so uptight
Bronny is not the worst ever pick at 55. I don’t get the hate. Let the guy actually fail before we hate…
There aint no fail
He averages 5 pts a game…he got that pick cuz of his dad and Lakers who are selling out for him period
@@Jolts30 still put the work in to get where he’s at.there’s no fail making it is already an accomplishment not failure.hopefully one day in life you’ll look at things differently
@@Jolts30 Pick 23 averaged 2.9 ppg, where was the hate?
@@minari102hell pick 1 averaged 9 points a game
The biggest winner in all of this is thanasis. At long last, he's no longer the worst player in the league
Bronny is way better than Thanasis lol
Dude picked up a ball for the 1st time before getting drafted 😂
Even if he fails, why hate? What’s it to you? Appreciate and enjoy a wonderful story and opportunity. As a dad, if I can spend this much time with my son, sign me up.
He takes away from someone else who deserves the position through merit rather than nepotism.
I don't condone hating but if you don't know why people hate then I don't know what to tell you lol
Because it takes away from someone else's who really deserves it, duh! Another thing his father said was that he was better than 90% of the players in the NBA. Then, when the reports came out about not being good enough for the draft, he started saying, "Let the kid be a kid."
Nobody hating. The Lakers just chose feelings over facts.
@@kerron8587 How do we know he doesn’t deserve it?
LeBron put too much pressure on this guy.
ESPN is overlooking the reality.
He's as good as a 55th pick in any nba draft. Everyone acts like every NBA draft year has awesome second round players. Maybe 1 or 2 surprises, but the rest is always either rotational or G league or go overseas.
Go look up the previous 55th picks and get back to us
@@km13watcha bunch of no names lol
A bunch of no names who were better than bronny@@CB3-
And ik for sure he ain't better than Gui Santos.@@CB3-
Mr Irrelevant was picked.
Bronnys 2K rating 55
Ok and what’s yours 🤔🤔
😂😂
@@dredaytonaway1800pretty sure brown shirts start at 60, so hes literally worse than if you made a new character in 2k 😂
Nepotism at its finest
Is my video accurate on this post??
YOU hating SHEEP keep talking sh*t but NEVER mention another player they should've drafted...BECAUSE YOU DON"T KNOW ANYONE ELSE...bunch of jealous hating clowns.
@@draydamenaceI've never seen it
Ask yourself honestly this question: Would Lakers Draft Bronny if Lebron wasn't on the team?
He would be lucky to crack a G league roster.
Who cares. Is lebron and his son. That all that matters
We get it who cares NBA history this is wild and who isn’t going to tune in when he comes off the bench.
Yes, but only if Lebron was the GM.
If LeBron wasn't on the team, Lakers would have drafted Bronny to lure him in
55th pick out of 58 possible slots is a throwaway pick and picks that late tend to not work out. Low risk high reward. He’s also a former high school McDonald’s all American and was projected to be a first rounder coming out of highschool…then he almost died, missed half of his freshman year and had to get his wind, rhythm and conditioning back. People are acting like bro was a lottery pick it’s really not a big deal
They can lie to themselves but they can't lie to us about this bs
What bs are you referring to?
@@YuriTarded-hf1nvHow Lebron extorted the Lakers into drafting his son.
The kid can play and it’s no doubt about that. He is 6’1 but he plays much bigger than that.
He might already be the worst player in the D league.
Lebron used extortion to get bronny drafted but no one wants to talk about that.
Bronny will be so bad that hell be considered a bust even if he's a 2nd round pick
@@haqctrix that’s crazy. Just think about it too if that were to happen he would still be considered more successful than you could ever be. I’m willing to bet he’s already made more money than your entire bloodline combined. 🤯
Seeing these analysts & reporters hold in a huge lie through their eyes is comparable to holding in a fart at a funeral 😂
Rob describing a person of no nepotism as if bronny really fits that description is hilarious
What did he say wasn’t true?
It was hard for Rob 2 say what he said with a straight 😑.
What he meant to say was, Bronny is exactly what we needed to keep his Lebum Dad,once he leaves Bronny is gone.
Bronny is getting more coverage than the Lakers first round pick.
It’s amazing father and son would have been better if it was not with the Lakers. Seriously every Laker fan wants a championship. Not a father and son duo.
Just imagine playing professional with your boy. That's a dream. Congrats to the young man, and best of luck. Hopefully, he will prove all the haters wrong.
It is also the first time a 2nd round pick player got this much hype ever than how hyped Nikola Jokic plays in the NBA.
@@Z00000M you must be new to the nba
Even Rob Pelinka has to think of what to say about him 😂😂😂😂 He has no accolades or accomplishments so they try to use the “he works hard” LOL
I’m not even a LBJ fan, but I love this. To all the haters - if you were in the same position as LBJ tell me you wouldn’t do the same to get your son a job! Regardless of the industry there are so many family members working together in corporate America it’s foolish to hate on LBJ and Bronny!
Bronny is actually the 55th pick of the G LEAGUE😂😂
The Bucks drafted AJ Johnson 23rd overall who averaged THREE points and 1 rebound in one year playing in Australia. Yet not a word is said?
Atlanta Hawks biggest mistake not DRAFT Bronny James Jr in 1st overall pick 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
“Great character and works hard” when you get drafted to nba and that’s the reasons for them recruiting you then you know u a scrub 😂😂😂
@@mr__OK or how about when you can’t even write a coherent sentence while trying to make fun of someone who is more successful than you’ll ever be and has made more money than your entire family will ever make combined? I’d say that’s a real scrub.
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv 1st what about my sentence didn’t u understand mr English master?
2nd why u defending these people like u know them personally u goofy
3rd how u know bronny has made more money than my whole family? U our accountant?
@@mr__OK lol your here hating on people you don’t even know
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv these days when u speak truth it’s hating! Guy averaged 5 points. Wasn’t in top 20 for his age group at college so how can he be nba draft. With his stats he would be no where near league if surname was James. That’s pure truth and nothing to do with hate
@@mr__OK people act like he was the number one pick or something. As a McDonald’s all American why is it that crazy he gets dragged mid second round? The kid works hard, has good athleticism and a very high ball iq. I’d say he lacks height and definitely needs to work on his jumper
I predict Bronny has a couple years of being Thanasis 2.0 cheerleading on the Lakers bench and garbage time and "retires" with Lebron
@@adamstewart247 and as a bench player I predict your girl would leave you in heartbeat for him considering he’s already made more money than you will have your entire life already.
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv 😂 I think you are vastly overestimating his "game"
The fact is everyone keep saying that bronny is a g-league player but we don’t know just because he didn’t have a good college season does not mean he will be a bust let him play and he had a good combine as well
And they got the NERVE to talk about caitlin clark 😂😂😂😂
He got bullied in with lebron, & Rich Paul's help. Lakers aren't going nowhere.
People here forget that Kobe never scored a single point in college and became a legend u people not getting how good this kid is
You also never scored a single point in college...so you must be just as good as Kobe.
@@itk.r8rsn8k15let's give u a recap since u don't know college basketball does not make u better playing zone is does not help any player get better bronny was thought by LeBron and possibly kobe how to play NBA basketball u put Kobe in a his rookie year he suffers....he ended up going to Phil Jackson triangle lol so yeah maybe stop being a punk hating on a dude that will definitely have a better life then the both of us...and I could cook u in any court young blood
Its clear alot of you are not familiar with the better paying jobs. Usually the higher paying jobs are filled by family or friends
Fabricate excuses to justify BS. Gotcha 😅🤙🏾
@MarloSoBalJr tell your dad he shoulda done better in his life.
It’s even worse when they read his stats 🤣 this is such a joke
Purely ceremonial if they actually play together this year.
Homies got it all wrong. Luka and Booker are the first father and son duo to play in the NBA.😂😂😂😂
THEN JAYLEN BROWN SHOWED HE IS LUKA'S DADDY IN THE NBA FINALS😅
Lakers signed Goofy a five years contract to be their official mascot😅😅😂
The song a the end of the video?
Please
Were there any other teams that were interested and in position to draft him at a reasonable position before the Lakers? Could that have been leveraged in some way to pull off an advantageous trade with the Lakers? I wonder.
I kinda wish some other team would have drafted Bronny just to troll LeBron & Lakers... but that would have been disgusting
I understand that he had a cardiac arrest. However are we going to keep using that as an excuse every time he underperformed ?
If the cardiac arrest is bothering him why don't he just quit playing basketball?
THE LAKERS HAVE A CHINESE OWNER PATRICK SOON SHIONG. I WONDER HOW HE FEELS ABOUT JJ REDDICK BEING HIRED AS LAKERS COACH AFTER REFFERING TO CHINESE PEOPLE AS " CH-NKS "
He’s not a majority owner, only 4.5%. He has no power with the final decisions of the organization.
Well I don’t see any team drafting a player that has a cardiac arrest history.
Ken Griffey jr did it…. There was a father and son before..But Griffey Jr earned it with or without his DAD
Bronny will be a good NBA player watch
you sound more butthurt that you couldn't make a team yet alone a 55th pick in your life. Bronny earned it imagine sitting home telling someone what they earned
@@hooligan5381 lol mad delusional
So did bronny he got picked 55 people like you act like he was a lottery 😂pick
@@hooligan5381 earned what? he averaged 4 PPG on a terrible college team? you think this guy would even crack an overseas or G league team if it wasn't for his dad?
THE NBA HAS BECOME " SPACE JAM" THANKS TO ADAM SILVER, LEBRON JAMES?, JEANNIE BUSS AND ROB PELINKA LETS SEE IF LEBEON JAMES CAN TRANSFORM HIS SON FROM A SCRUB TO A STAR 🌟
Showing his stats was an hilarious choice. OH LOOK he has 27% from three. Lets GOOOO
23rd pick averaged 2.9 ppg and 1.3 rebounds in 7.7 minutes. Have you cried about that as well ??? 😏
Please reply to @vesnam116, because he asked you a very good question I expect a very good response, casual.
@@blablablaa14 not as funny as your choice to actually write this dumb@$$ comment.
Is my video accurate on this post??
“THE FIRST” gimmix 😂😂😂 you puppets eating it all up 😂😂😂
4pts 😂😂😂 and a Drunk Podcaster 😂😂😂
People act like kobe didn't come out of HS and sit the bench behind eddie jones. Bronny fit exactly what lakers need defense and athleticism at the guard position
SHAME ON YOU COMPARING KOBE to BRONNY out of HS KOBE WOULD LITTERALLY TEAR YOUR LAKERS GEAR OFF AND TELL YOU TO GTFO OF HERE LOL!!!!
@@scottgollahon3681 what you did in hs is just that! Now in the nba it's a clean slate... kobe didn't play right away , bronny may or may not play right away. One earned his keep and the other has too
@@smoove354 Bronny has not earned his way on the Lakers.
@@iflgames3245how did he not he had a good combine finished 2nd and the best usc player got drafted in the 2nd round as well what does that tell u
@@louie2xx Bronny stats across the board is one of the worse in NBA draft history.
He has health issue also which would complete lock you out of the draft.
As a Lakers fan. I’m embarrassed of the Lebron shenanigans. JJ FAD as coach. Now putting personal issues before championship pedigree proves he definitely is not the GOAT. WWE moves.
Everything u said makes no sense
@@denverred I would have to say getting an nba team to draft your son is a goat move. I mean your dad prob couldn’t even get you a job at the bank if he wanted to
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv easy for Bronny as they declared GOAT .... LMFAO clown show with clown rings.
@@iflgames3245 easy for what? In order to try and talk bad about someone else you should at least be capable of writing a coherent sentence otherwise you are just making yourself look like a fool
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv Bronny got into the NBA due to Nepotism he never earned it at all. He is trash all the scouts said the sane thing in their reports.
The name to keep LeBron at Lakers. This is a cir us at best.
Bronny would be in the African Basketball League if it wasn’t for his papa.
That’s great. Very happy for the family
I don't care he made it in, I dislike the way it was done. No fairness, strictly corrupt. Ought to be a shame. 😢
In the locker room of the Lakers opposing team, this is what the head coach is now saying, " Okay guys...tonight this will be an easy one. We're going to double team LeBron and leave Bronny open all night. When he shoots the Brick get the RE and it we be an easy two for us on the other end. Thanks Jeanie for the dub!"
@@brianhester9188 you actually took time to come up with this and actually thought it would be a good idea to post? SMH 🤦♂️
@@YuriTarded-hf1nv yep! worst yet...you replied... Sorry Lakers fan...with JJ Reddiculous & and Brick House Bronny...Lakers this year...ahh...27-55! 😭🤣😂😂🤣😭
That’s wasn’t bronny dream of playing with his pops these people just put words in others mouth
Name the 55th pick in history that was great.. then name picks 56, 57, 58, 59 & 60 in 2024 draft that will be great.. if you can't, just admit you hatin on Bron.. plus, nepotism is rampant throughout the nba, and US as a whole.. you have father and son businesses, you have Coaches son's (bill bellicheck) coaching.. but now it's a problem?
LeBron definitely pulled some strings
Now we can trade JJ LbJ and BJ for Pop and Wembanyama
1:03 is all I needed to see 😂😂😂
I would’ve done the same thing as a father. IDGAF what anyone says. I love my son! I hope Bronny will be successful
Nice to see you set your son up for failure and even harsher torment.
Don't lie to yourself ✋🏾
And if bronny is a g-league player so was Austin Rivers who at one point was 1 of the top high school players in the country and was supposed to be good in the nba
Horrible comparison . Austin rivers was the top guard in college . Play at Duke . And number 1 player in HS . Put some respect on his name . Bronny hasn’t even sniffed what rivers accomplished smh
Griffey senior did it with his son Griffey Jr… junior earned it thou.. he was a phenomenon in high school.. didn’t average 4 home runs a year lol.. so Father and Son before
Don’t loose sleep tonight
aww princess you mad bronny made in to the NBA and your basketball dreams on 2k 😂😂
@@hooligan5381 Bronny si actually trash I can say i am better than him.
😂I’m just saying if you watch Bronny through highschool to college it’s literally nothing to suggest that he should a NBA player right now not even hate call a spade a spade
Watch it. The next word folks gonna call you is "racist"
I WILL NOT WATCH A LAKER GAME NEXT SEASON BECAUSE OF
1.JJ REDDICK
2.BRONNY JAMES
3.LEBRON JAMES
55th pick does sound way better than 2nd round pick
Kobe would love this! RIP
3 MORE PICKS YOU WAS A DALLAS MAVERICKS
This is gonna be bad for James jr.... I bet he'll shoot high 30s from the field and like 25 from 3
THIS JUST IN: Savannah James, wife of Lakers star LeBron James is divorcing James for trading son for a printer and a chic fil a sandwich
Never seen Rob Pelinka in my life so I definitely thought that was Hunter Biden in the thumbnail
He sure lies through his teeth like Hunter 😅
Dude was at a loss for words
It’s never gonna happen again these guys don’t keep their body up these days
Rich and bronny is the epitome of nepotism
I think you getting an inside look how LeBron and his agency are going to run a team and I don't think this is going to work.
M j couldn't get his son drafted ? I'm sure his kid average more than bonny james in college 😂😂😂
He could have stayed around a year or two to develop, but now he's forced to be in the NBA and probably going to struggle hard for a while. Lebron comments did not help his son at all. But what do I know, maybe he'll end up being great, he definitely has everything around him to succeed, i just think it's too soon
If Bronny actually becomes good, he'll be the biggest draft steal since Manu Ginobli who was #57
It's not a steal if no one else can draft him.
@@km13watch oh yeah you're right about that. We'll just see if Bronny actually becomes good
Too much PR in sports now....they made everybody SOFT out here, hope the U.S. is never attacked there's few actual STRONG people to fight for it.... heartwarming & touching for this new, SOFT SERVE species today ...Bronny BLOCKED some1 who TRULY DESERVES that spot, over sumn like a DADDY-SON DANCE😂😂😂
This is crazy 🤪 I like that Luka Jr we git rd 1 tho so it's all good. I expect the white boy to be a real baller . 💯
That’s cool. My brother in NBA I’m not even allowed to call him or be at games
This is either gonna go really bad or really good really good because he could be better then what anybody expected since he is what he is but could go real bad if he can’t perform at all levron gon retire early seeing his son out the league if it happens but lebron wouldn’t let that happen
I’ll take real bad Lebron’s ego is out of control..
this is a sad day for basketball worldwide. sorry to all of the players, dreamers, coaches, trainers etc... to witness something like this is simply disheartening and is a disgrace to everything we love about the sport. Mac Mcclung is 100 times better proven player and never even looked at and this spoiled kid gets picked up just because one player that has the nba wrapped around his finger smh bad day for basketball and all sports
When the hate don't work they start telling lies. Wo wonwo wo
cant agree with u anymore!
Mac McClung had his chance, if someone wants him someone will take him. Bron has done more than the league than any player in the history of basketball both on and off the court. What better chance for Bronny to grow with the best player who ever played the game. There is no better draft pick than getting Bronny to be mentored by his dad.
@rico, best comment I've read. It's sad. Sports just seems like all business now and not genuine. I wonder if Bronny realizes he didn't get in on all on his own. It was all name and privilege.
Now all of a sudden he been around the lakers for years. Foh he shouldn’t have been drafted.
Is my video accurate on this post??
YOU hating SHEEP keep talking sh*t but NEVER mention another player they should've drafted...BECAUSE YOU DON"T KNOW ANYONE ELSE...bunch of jealous hating clowns.
@@igottsole jealousy is crazy
Worst NBA Draft ever. But Lakers drafting Bronny made it funny, averaging 5 pts at USC 🤦🏾♂️ 🗑️
If Bronny James were his own man, he would accept whatever team drafted him. As it happened, his agent had warned all other teams except Phoenix and LA that Bronny would play overseas if they drafted him. He's still very much Daddy's little boy.
He literally said in an interview That he doesn't care what team picks him.He just wants to make it to the league terrible take bruv
GREAT PICK THO IM BIG FAN OF YALL
I feel sorry for the 1st rounder draft picks.. Nba all focus on bronny.
1st thing lebron will teach bronny as a nba player : learn the art of flopping!!! 😂😅😂
