    The only reason why Bronny is the 55th pick is because that's the pick the Lakers had.
    If Lakers had the 32nd pick they would have used that for Bronny.
    Bronny only worked out for 2 teams and Rich Paul was telling other teams if they drafted Bronny he would send Bronny to Australia

    So 4 of the last 21 guys picked 55 have been NBA rotation players for more than ONE season. And the outlier GOAT is a 5' 11 career backup PG who never even DREAMED of making an All Star team?
    But it was sacfilege to use that pick on a 19 year old floor spacer with elite athleticism and defence. Who was an All American and the 27th prospect in his college class before needing heart surgery and missing over half the year. But hes since been cleared and had arguably the best Combine showing of his ebtirw draft class.

      For the case of Mr. Bricky J.; at least there won't be long stints of fake injuries, for his team to spare half of his monthly salary earnings. Due to the fact, that the Bron's family, would be sick from concern, about: their youngster family member, that has a cardiac health history, with some troublesome.
      I'd say that Mr. Bricky J.; is just going to continue to role-play as a NBA basketballer, at the S. Bay Lakers; until the L.A. Lakers server, next overall temporary maintenance shutdown.
      As for the NBA itself: Mr. Bricky J.; is basically going to struggle to average 5 minutes per game. Let alone, he's other, in game stats.
      And the best role-plays, are the ones in which: the player eventually, turns the key on most of his main subjects, from his same role-playing sessions.

    What most of you fail to remember is that the NBA is a business. Even as successful of a career as Patty Mills has had, I really don't think anyone has geared up to go see a game because he was playing. The flipside is EVERY city that has an NBA team will have people purchasing tickets to see the Lakers this year simply because Bronny James may enter the game. 7m is a drop in the hat compared to what revenue will be generated by this pick. The rich will always find a way to stay rich, while the rest of the population stresses on things that don't affect their bottomline. 👀

    That's a cool video. That broadcasts some relevant content, regarding the sports modality of Basketball.
    Still... Everyone had to keep on reviewing that same video, for every 10 seconds. Due to the fact, that the narrator, wasn't narrating at all. It was only reading a piece of paper, quicker than a "ho," would start lying about, her real age.
    And even the written text, from that same piece of paper, had way too much haze in it. Next time, try to display some of the relevant info, on the screen and over one of the player's picture. So that the narrator can pause its narrative, a few times; while a base soundtrack, keeps the viewers safe, from getting too bored.
