He's hyped like Jordan sons were outta high school. If you're a nba player's son, you're gonna be better than everybody at a young age, but when you're in high school, vs. guys who are trying to move their family outta poverty. Different kinda motivation
I said the same thing on another clip.
@@jaycepero8069cool story
That’s definitely not an apt comparison though. Even if bronny won’t be an all time great he’s far more NBA bound than either of MJs sons at their age.
@@Beauty6yBeca I mean Marcus (I think) Jordan had NBA potential he just didn't want to have to live his life constantly being compared to his dad, so he quit basketball after college.
Steph and Kobe was rich as fuck, when they were young
I think everyone forgets that he's able to perform with such high high expectations really think about how much weight is on this kids shoulders most of us would crumble I'm impressed based off of this alone
(projected to go 10 in the draft) wheres the haters)
that gets overlooked in the MJ Lebron debate.
@@akeemMagic01 mj’s kids played about 2 years in college without getting that many points
Dad endure the same thing, every Jordan fanboy I have convo about goat debate can't grasp how easier in 80-90 to do whatever off court, when he turned into the goat back then , Bron born great , 👑 the king in highschool the pressure of that with social media it's miracle he didn't fall off . Retire with name in basically every all-time stat is insane.
@@cappaus5480 it’s the most remarkable part of his career. His “scandals” are so minor and his been under the spotlight forever
@@mrmonkey123 dont compare mjs sons to bronny aint close, compare their fathers
It's good to hear that he's focusing on defense and playing smart basketball. Lots of kids in his position would have too big of an ego just because their father is great, hopefully he's able to carve out his own role in the league due to his hard work and intelligence, rather than trying to be the next LeBron.
even without an NBA father, we've seen 5 stars end up doing the exact same ego trip, and end up not drafted because of it.
Steph Curry's dad Del was a respectable NBA player in his day and Steph turned out fine. I bet Bronny will make it too based on his skills and attitude
@@Ry-ss5dz I think that's why Steph was underrated at draft day. The assumptions that come with being a shoot-first guard with little tangibles on defense because of his size had many teams afraid to draft him esp since he is a cocky man. Wolves made that mistake lol
@@GEEZYEA777 nah the front offices were just dumb, Curry's stats in college were crazy
@@KOHoxton who?
I'm glad you actually pointed out that while he was in 9th, 10th and 11th grade he was playing behind 5 stars and future NBA players. A lot of people with no sense wonder why he hasn't averaged 20. He is playing at a powerhouse high school, and he actually plays team ball
Excuses why do y’all feel the need to make all these excuses for him like it’s going to make a difference
@@warrendickerson7132 Nobody is making excuses. Everything I said was just truth. I'm not sure why grown men seemingly like to hate on a kid sometimes. It's pretty pathetic. Whether he makes the NBA or not there is nothing wrong with anybody rooting for him
@@jeremiahtalkssports1832 all excuses he is 18 not a kid
@warren Dickerson The dude is a senior in high school lol. You act like he is 25 years old. Stop getting your feelings hurt over somebody else's opinion man. You didn't have to say anything to what I said if it struck a nerve. You could've just moved on.
Excuses
"just a 4 star player with a 5 star name"
straight bars
why you copying what he said ahahaha im dead. anything for likes aye
@@regan899 thought u did sum huh?
where can i sign up to have that name 😂
@@BrockPurdysBurner13 okay jamal i forgot to mention you as well, youd do anything for likes as well you weirdo
If he wasn’t Lebron’s son no one would talk about him
He’s pretty good. Stats don’t prove because I think since he was a freshman he was on ridiculously stacked HS teams with 5 star senior players. Regardless he has all the potential in the world.
Edit: As a senior Bronny is averaging 15, 5, 3, while being an elite perimeter defender. On a top 5 high school in the nation those are good numbers so it seems I was right all along
no if he wasnt related to lebron he wouldnt even get drafted lmfao
@@DamianLillardno1glazer If he wasn’t related to Bron he’d be on a normal high school team putting up great stats. Regardless ofc him being brons son helps out, it’s literally apart of the potential aspect my guy.
@@mr.longjohn0014 nah he wouldn't get any type of attention, his average player
@@mr.longjohn0014 that’s just an excuse all these nba players that was on a stacked high school and they was the main star and this year they not that stacked but he still the same
@@warrendickerson7132 Did you watch the video? He was a freshman on those stacked teams and the teams already had 5 star players, so please tell me how he’d put up great stats? Not to mention he basically missed a whole year.
This is the most realistic, and objective critique I've seen on Bronny.
It’s because this channel is run by an AI
@@BKILLS186 I should have suspected skynet would be involved 😂
His name makes him underrated
Listen
He aint bad, he aint bad at all
He got a great defense, stupidily good athtleticism and bounce (perks of being son of one of the most athletic players ever) and one of the best teachers ever so he can develop his game
He aint gotta be his father but he will be good
But he always will carry a heavy name and that will always be a burden to him
Based
Well said.
He's mid
@@WuShocks and who are you? Your opinion on him counts nothing
@@showtimeblc 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watched Bronny play today at Hoophall. Bronny is NICE. He doesn’t force his shots, plays the game at his own pace. He has legit NBA potential. He dropped 13 points but had a lot of shots go in and out, and didn’t force anything up all game. He makes the right play almost every time down the court. This is a tournament where a bunch of players get caught in the hype of all the ESPN cameras and college and NBA scouts and Bronny played calm and collected, he didn’t bitch at any refs and was a good teammate. It was cool to see, seems like a good kid. Definitely has my support
I’m a diehard Clipper fan and have never rooted for LeBron, but I will say that his whole career, including high school, he has a giant chip on his shoulder with the overwhelming amount of hype he has had with very high expectations, and he has still been able to deliver and show his greatness. It’s crazy to see both of his kids go the same route
Poor die hard clippers fan. Zero
@@rlbproduction792 your prob a warriors band wagon
Booo get outta here can’t stand the clippers yall will never be the kings of LA when it comes to absolutely nothing
He doesn't have a "chip on his shoulder". What are you talking about?
Why do people always feel the need to state their fandom? You're a Clippers fan OK. So what? LOL
considering how much pressure is attached to his name, I think he's done very well already. Of course there will be no chance of him ever being as good as his father, but there's no shame in that. Hope he makes it to the NBA and gets to play with his old papa for at least 1 season.
this is the only correct opinion to have on this kid
I agree with everything except saying there’s no chance. Everyone has a CHANCE. Regardless on if it’s low or not.
@@avreypearson7253 Bron was a phenom at Bronny’s age. Ain’t no way
@@avreypearson7253he has absolutely no chance and there’s no shame in that at all
@@avreypearson7253wake up to real life, kid 🤣😆
“Just a 4 star player with a 5 star name.”…pure savage bro! 💪🏽🤣
Fr
If I was bronny and heard that ima drop 60 the whole season
@@7mileTen He’s not wired like that. He doesn’t have that type of aggressive nature inside of him.
Y’all be happy to hate on a kids. Lame ass Mfas
A ranking of 41 out an entire nation of senior high school boy ballers is damn good. I do feel he could have gained some physical toughness benefits if he were allowed to play football or another contact sport as a young kid, when injuries are less likely and less serious as well as quicker to heal from. Regardless of all that, I'm looking forward to seeing him have a great career in whatever he pursues.
it's a great accomplishment, but it doesn't make him a sure fire nba player. he's not a dominant high school player, so if he makes the league it will be a surprise.
He averaged 10 and 4 on 38% shooting and is a top 50 senior in the country huh… my ass 😂 that James last name hit different
Jack Ruiz true.
He ain't top 200 let alone top 40 lol
@@Scheboygan8767 he would drop 30 a night at your local highschool… he is literally playing with and against nba players lmao
@@Scheboygan8767 Against the best high school teams in the country. Context is important. Hence why players from lower division schools with big stats don’t crack the top 100
Even if he doesn’t live up to everyone’s expectations, I can still see him as a Gary Payton II type player. Still impactful and crucial to any team.
disrespectful
@@eateateat1FAXXXX DON'T KNOW WHAT HE SAYING
I can only imagine how stressful it is to deal with all of this at a young age but he seems to handle it well. I hope this all works out for him in the end!
nothing wrong with being a solid role player… sucks to have that much pressure on you just cause of the name but he’d be great on any college roster
Bron himself even said he regretted naming him Lebron James jr, since he realize that it would become an anchor for the rest of his career being compared to his old man. Honestly, Just get to the NBA in and of itself is already a monumental achievement. The worst NBA player is among the most elite of the sport in the freaking planet, but people sometime seems to forgeat that.
He gets elite coaching, equipment, competition, nutrition, sleep, and genetics. Just shows how hard it is to get into the NBA.
How tall is he?
@@monsieurLDN6’3
I love how yah said Ambidextrous 😂 but had a reversed clip of his right hand layup to make it look like a left hand layup
“And I can still trade him”
Ppl need to understand that bron is a once in a lifetime talent. U can’t expect bronny or anyone to be like him.
I can’t wait to see jr and sir play together and maybe the trio. Hopefully
It’s not gonna happen. He won’t be in the nba before nba expansion and Lebron is gonna be a owner of one those teams
@@jamespierce9744 guys like thanasis are in the league lmao he 100% gon make it
@@CMXR what are u talking about. I didn’t say he wouldn’t make it. I said nba expansion will happen before he gets in the league. Lebron wants to own one the expansion teams. U cant play and be a owner so he will have to retire before bronny makes it
@@jamespierce9744 he could easily just make his wife or someone the owner in the books
@@ludifoe5039 oh yhh thats smart
Lebron and Bronny would be very wholesome to watch them both play.
Yes- up until that pt every season Lebron asks for more help.
I can’t imagine how much pressure he will be under. I hope he finds success and happiness.
I would say first but I have a request nonstop sports plz do a video of how good was John starks actually it would mean a lot much love from Australia
So we not gonna talk about that missed dunk at 6:20
It’s high school kids relax bro!
@@wesleywalden4997 I get that they are in high school but if I dimed someone up and they miss that dunk I would be tight
@@rashawnray-fort9504 that happens in the nba all the time. He’s called ja morant
@@rashawnray-fort9504 wait til you watch the WNBA.
Real hoopers don’t trip about missing a dunk cause they will cram the next one
It’ll be good for the NBA to see them both play together. Can’t wait for the show!
How?
@@NickBurns-ey6od new generation of fans and novelty of it for the rest. Can’t beat the publicity and ticket sales that the team they play for will get. 🤷🏼♀️
I don't know if he's going to be a great NBA Player like his dad, but it warms my heart looking at a proud papa and his son. I hope the hype doesn't crush this kid.
Great video
How crazy would a father son lob be
That would be amazing. Hey, if you're interested in winning some basketball tickets, let me know. We're giving away NBA tickets for people that listen to one song on our website.
That depends on Bronny himself. The genes is there but will his work ethic be the same or more than is dad? Time will tell we don't know what the future holds as long as his passion never waivers he might not be a top prospect now but he can prove doubters wrong.
His work ethic will never be like his dad’s. His dad grew up poor and with hunger, Bronny can’t say the same he doesn’t have to play sports just to have a future like LeBron did. Doesn’t mean he won’t be a good player though, he is his dad’s son as you’ve said
It's now or never
Hope he doesn't flop like his old man.
@@AveChristusRex789 Kobe or Curry didn't grow poor but their work ethic is elite.
@@Rmonta990 i agree with you but they didn't grow up as well off as bronny
6:20 bro I would be heated if my big sold a dunk like that😂
I'm impressed every time I see him play. He's smart, pays team ball, plays defense. I think he catches heat because he doesn't force and jack shots for highlights like a bunch of other HS stars.
Spending at least a year in college will definitely help. This is where I think DWade messed up Zaire's development. Zaire is small guard with a good jumper. The problem is that he tries playing like his father who is 3" taller and 30lbs heavier. College would've definitely helped him develop his own style rather than the G League.
I feel like a good coach in college will help Bronny hone his ball skills as a 1.
Good video you never disappointed
hyped up individual
He’ll be a point guard in the NBA.
on someone's bench, maybe.
Give him time his potential is crazy be patient he gone be raw💯
He is a senior he got a lot of getting better to do
Consider Bol Bol, Mpj, Kobe, KG, and Dwight Howard just to name a random few were all more highly touted out of high school and still took time to develop in the league. If he isn’t completely dominating on the high school level now, with years of elite training and resources then his NBA ceiling will most likely be rotational player at best
He's gonna be a hell of a 3&D player. I don't think he will be a super star but I can def. see him developing into a good role player.
He is too small for a 3&D player
Have you seen davion Mitchell on the kings? He’s small and can’t even shoot 😂 but he’s a good defender. Bronny will be at least that good
I remember seeing somewhere that college creates good role players. I think that’s true, real stars have the potential to thrive in the nba after high school but more importantly to improve.
Bronny isn’t better than a player than D Rose out of HS
6:21 how he miss that dunk 😭😭
Bro forgot about bronny joining Mikey Williams and Mikey help them win the championship not bronny 💀💀
8:41 THIS SHOWS BRONNY WILL BE GREAT.
I would love to see Bronny and LeBron battling on the court.
So I want LeBron to stay healthy until his dreams come true.
LeBron has already stated that he wants to play his last season together with Bronny
Bronny not good enough for the league at his age his dad was a million times better
@@oscargee1173 of course Bronny isn’t going to be as good as his dad, Lebron is literally a top 3 player of all time. Bronny is going to be good but he is obviously not going to be as good as The King.
@@jamesbuscarini lebron easily top 3 and bronny is good but he’s not ready for the league yet he should play one year in college first i think there’s plenty of other college players better peopel acting like he’s league ready when he won’t even dominate college imo
@@oscargee1173 Oh yeah I 100% agree, bronny definitely ain’t ready for the league. It just sounded like you were saying that he wasn’t ready for the league because his dad was better than him at this time
Bronny is good. He's a 6'2" wing guard with a solid three-point jumper, solid passing instincts, great vertical athleticism and great defensive instincts. But he's very undersized for an NBA wing or even a shooting guard, has an extremely shaky handle for a guard and below average off the dribble explosion, and these factors make it so there are no easy shots for him on the court. Also a streaky shooter overall. He's a three-star player who's been overblown because of who his dad is. I think people always expected him to be at least three inches taller than he is, and he's not. But good player, overhype isn't his fault.
Donavan Mitchell is 6’2 and cj mcclunom is 6’3
@@Steps.To.Sucess people always bring this up when it comes to Bronny. Both of those guys are also undersized, but the key, key difference is that they have the ability to beat their defenders off the dribble at will and are elite shooters off the dribble. Bronny is incapable of regularly beating even average high school defenders off the dribble, and it's not just because he plays on great teams. In AAU, he averaged a super inefficient 12 points per game and his team lost most of the time, mostly because of his inability to create his own shot and his streaky jumper. People that can average over 20 ppg in the NBA are usually GOD LIKE when it comes to scoring in high school. So Bronny isn't comparable to these guys. Lacks Donovan Mitchell's crazy half-court speed and McCollum's Kyrie-like handle.
2:58 couldn't tell if that was a hat or Bron's hairline lol
I think he'll be able to develop his game more in the nba than staying in college for more time considering that a higher level opponent will make you adapt more and get better
Bronny to me looks like a your typical NBA pg. I have to agree with thad young here. I dont think he is gonna be this elite 30 ppg scorer but he definitely has the potential to be a very solid point guard for a good team. Not every player needs to be a walking bucket. If he makes the right pass, plays defense and limits his turnovers thats all anyone can really want from the kid.
Bronny was gonna get drafted out of middle school ☠
I cant imagine how much pressure he has to deal with must be tough, i hope to see him on the NBA if he deserves it.
There's a lot on pressure on Bronny to play and Perform, on a high level and he's living up to the standards and handling the pressure and is do very well with the media and eyes all around him, He's gonna make it to the NBA and go very far.
nah bronny will end up better than lebron
I think he’s developing well. He doesn’t need to be his father and he doesn’t need highlight reels every week. He needs to develop and become a reliable good all around player, which is what he is
Bronny’s game is gonna be different than his dad’s. He doesn’t have the size but he is strong, has a high hoops IQ & has been balling with the best since he was a kid. He probably won’t become a superstar in the NBA but that doesn’t mean he won’t be a good player.
His name makes ir 10x harder for him but i believe he can have a great NBA career
He'll make the NBA if he can passably play 10 minutes a game. Just think about how much more media attention Bronny and a Lebron farewell tour will generate for a team vs and an average 2nd round pick.
@@brendan3966 i do believe bronny will get more playing time, he was potencial.
Agree, teams don't want to miss the money that duo would generate
i love the show top class
Bronny James Jr best fit in Gonzaga 🔥🔥🔥
He won't obviously be as great as his dad but I think Bronny will be as solid as they come in the NBA. He has very great potential in a world where the sons of NBA big names and stars don't normally work out (Jordan's 2 sons, Zaire Wade etc).
He's handled the pressure of being the son of arguably the greatest basketball player to ever play really well. Also credits to Bron since he's obviously thought him the mentality of the game too. He needs to work on his streaky shooting and his handles but overall he's a good prospect to look on.
@@Air23goatif his name were John smith nobody would care about him
His handles is pretty smooth tho u can see how quick the ball comes off the ground each time as he dribbles especially at 5:50
It's too premature to say he can even make it in the NBA really. Might be a bench rider. Or he could be a really solid player... Let's see his college hoops first.
Do Bryce next
Seen him play in person this video is pretty accurate
Lebron James and Bronny James new additions to the OKC Thunder squad!
Damn he carries a lot. They don't call that in the NBA anymore so he should be fine there, just surprised to not see him get whisleted on it in HS.
have u not seen his name
He just needs that one starting spot and then he will shut all of us up
8:42 The heart’s on the other side
He's ambidextrous AND can shoot with his left hand... Bonny's got it all!😂
How many players were great in HS but flopped in the NBA?
How many players weren't heavily recruited in HS but exceeded expectations in the NBA?
He'll go as far as he wants to go.
That’s a fact
I will forever die on this hill. Bronny will make it to the nba, rather he’s good or not. Simply for money.
Meaning, teams know Bron is going where ever bronny is going. If mavs draft bronny, LeBron final game will probably be with the mavs. It will out sale Kobe last game, bringing the mavs hella money.
They may release bronny next season, or put him in the g league. But he’s making the nba just for the money
I seen KMart Jr the other night, he looked incredible.
1:07 BRONS HAIRLINE 😭😭😭
4 star players are damn good … sometimes they end up better than the 5 stars
Bronny needs to play like CP3 did at a young age. That’s who he could be most like. Develop them handles because he’s really good at everything else
Agreed.
i see a lot of Marcus Smart in Bronny's game
Good enough for you to make a video on him
Bronny definitely can make it just his handle needs to improve
on track to be a Ja Morant. Glad that there's only 40 people ahead of him. he's just gotten to the starting block. his career is ahead of him and not behind him.
You definitely didn’t see ja in high school
@@christian-gu5oq i definitely didn't. Bronny is still on track to being an explosive point guard. I didn't see Russ in high school or Foxx. And he's about the same size as Anthony Edwards was when he got drafted, but I also didn't see him play in high school. I was talking about what I saw in Bronny's high school game. I've seen him play. That's enough.
I swear there’s a new one of these every year 💀
He keeps improving
A quote someone said was Bronnys a 4 star recruit with a 5 star name and the more I think about it, it makes sense. He’s 1000% going to the NBA with name alone as we’ve seen Hardaway Jr. and O’Neal just be decent
Tim Hardaway Jr is most definitely an NBA level player
@@alexseay7130 as a role player like bronnywill most likely be
Shareef was actually pretty good before his heart problems. He looked solid enough to be a mid to late first round pick on his own merit. The name is what would have made him a top 13 pick in the draft
2-3 star player
Hes putting in good work, he could be like hes dad or even better. Hes got some potential in to be a star and believe in him.
Jaylen Brown next video Nonstop Sports 💪💪💪
He's at 34th rank atm and highly expected to improve in his last season. He's 6'3 and probably not done growing. You would have to be a fool not to think he's worth a draft pick. He could have a mediocre year in college and still come in at the first round on potential alone.

I hope people don't actually expect him to be as good as LeBron. LeBron is a top 2 player of all time, we forget how special LeBron was even as a teenager
I hope he'll stay at USC at least 2 years. If not, he'll be a bust.
nah bronny will end up better than lebron
He ain't stunting like his daddy😂😂😂😂
As an old grandpa, some of this video of him here I can see the pressure on his face. I haven’t seen him smile much
it's best for Bronny to play in the G-League Ignite like Scoot. His skill does fit on that system and he'll learn a lot to be an NBA ready player
If bro can manage a 2-3 inch growth spurt he's NBA bound for sure.
He'll turn out like Michael Jordan's son
He actually has a little bit of talent unlike Jordan’s kids

Can you imagine being groomed since birth to play in the NBA, and then as you age, start to figure out you might not actually be good enough to get in?
I hope this kids entire identity isn’t wrapped up in these expectations… it’s rough for anyone to deal with a failure of that magnitude, especially a teenage boy.
