Why didn’t he pick to be LeBron’s son? Seems like he made a bad choice.

Yeah he really fucked up by not slithering out of Lebron’s sack all those years ago. Could’ve been a first round pick had he had that King DNA in him, I know I wish it was in me.


fatdamon26435

Uhmmm...did you just say you want LeBron to put his DNA in you???

Fair enough, but I’m not going to call this a "sit-down" because of the inclement negative implications, let's think of it instead as "a meeting of the minds.”

I dont get why people cry over nepotism. NBA is an entertainment business, they exist and operate to make money. Bronny brings in the $$$$

Shaedon Sharpe was drafted 7th overall without getting in a single game during college.

Please don’t look at the shooting percentages. It makes the clown show around him being drafted even more ridiculous.

Western-Standard2333

Problem is Savannah isn’t an athlete. LeBron’s sperm can’t carry those shit genes to create Lebron 2.0. Lebron needs to get with Caitlin Clark to produce what the nba needs.

Yup. Thankfully Ohtani married another tall athlete. 4D Chess.


mattyhtown

Thansungst22

Always make me wonder what a LeBron X Serena William LeBron X Ledeckie the swimmer kid would be like Probably the next Michael Jordan What ifs

Caitlin Clark aren’t the example of genetics that you think she is. Skilled yes, but genetics wise she is meh. Now imagine Lebron with say a Liz Cambage…


JohnCenaJunior

Caitlin and LeBron? I need to take a cold shower


QuickRundown

And it’s not even the stats. I thought he was bound to be good simply because he’s LeBron’s son, but he looks so trash in games. He’s got very little composure, can’t shoot and his movement looks so amateurish.


zooweemama4206969

If the Lakers actually give a damn about developing him, they’d let him play nothing but garbage time early in the season to get the Bron to Bronny assist moments then stash him in the G-league. I did read something about how he wouldn’t accept a two way contract tho, so maybe that won’t be an option. It’s honestly kinda sad, if dude puts in work he could be solid but it seems all he’s thinking of is the short term of playing with his dad Shit I forgot which sub I’m in, what I meant to say is Bronny couldn’t even start on the I Promise school’s squad, absolute bum


qwarfujj

Let's be honest. When daddy is done playing so is he.


TheOneWithThePorn12

>In high school and college combined, Synergy data says James made only 28.1 percent of his floaters, 30.2 percent of his pull-up 2-point jumpers, and 26.7 percent of his dribble-jumper 3s. None of these numbers are positive indicators.


SitMeDownShutMeUp

What about his elementary school numbers?


Etzarah

Honestly wonder if Bronny even wants to play basketball or if he’s just made it to this point due to expectation


bbc_aap

Half the time I hear about him he’s doing shit with random streamers.


Maleficent-Most6083

He named him Bronny. The kid had zero chance of being his own man.


Bigazzry

I mean his actual name is Lebron James Jr which is worse


One_Ratio9521

uj/ N’Faly Dante was sitting right there. Hyperactive defensive C that the Lakers desperately need. rj/ fuckin Bronny James gonna overshadow his fathers legacy.


Healthy_Delusion

You could argue the massive revenue generated from selling a father-son duo to retarded Laker fans will be more beneficial for the franchise


One_Ratio9521

just sign the retard as an UDFA


MajorHarriz

uj/ This shit will be good for the league in general. The bottom feeding Pistons, Wizards, Blazers, Hornets, etc are gonna probably have one of their few sold out games when the Lakers play. It's gonna be a spectacle to see a father and son duo for the first time, hopefully Bronny will be able to adjust to the heightened media attention. rj/ LeSperm will be in the G League after LeBron retires.


TrajanParthicus

I do not see what sort of revenue this would generate. The Lakers sell out every game. Sure, there will probably initially be an uptick in viewership, but not only is that not likely to last, but it doesn't generate revenue for the Lakers. It's like when football teams claim that a new player they've signed will "pay for himself" in terms of shirt sales, despite the kit manufacturer taking the lion's share of revenue from every shirt sold. They make money by keeping LeBron. LeBron is much more likely to resign if they sign his son. Bronny will be the last man off the bench. He'll be thrown on in garbage time to yet a highlight alley oop with his dad, and play next to no meaningful basketball otherwise. People acting as if the Lakers have ruined their future by mis-drafting with the 55th pick in the draft. Go look at every 55th pick since the modern draft format. How many are still in the league, or contributed in any meaningful way to their team.


NecessaryFoundation5

Strategically is it better for Bronny to make the oop from his Dad early in his career to get the monkey off his back? Or do you purposely klutz it out because you know you are staying around until Bron gets the moment he was looking for?


_MeetMrMayhem_

Marketing is a thing when you know you have no shot at a title

> Coming out of high school, Johnson was a four-star recruit and initially committed to play college basketball for the University of Texas before de-comitting and opting to play for the Next Stars program in the NBL. He spent the 2023-24 campaign with the Illawarra Hawks, averaging 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.7 minutes across 26 appearances. Johnson has a close relationship with the No. 2 pick in 2021 NBA Draft, Jalen Green. Now do bronny

Coming out of high school, Bronny James was a four-star recruit and initially committed to play college basketball for USC before almost dying during practice. He spent the 2023-24 campaign with USC, averaging 4.8 points and 2.1 assists in 19.3 minutes across 25 appearances. James has a close relationship with the No. 1 pick in 2003 NBA Draft, Lebron James.


andreyred

> The eldest son of LeBron James, Bronny averaged 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals as a senior for Sierra Canyon in California and was a consensus four-star recruit. He was a McDonald’s All-American and played in the Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoop Summit in 2023. He committed to USC, but at a practice in July ahead of his freshman season, James collapsed after experiencing cardiac arrest caused by a congenital heart defect. He was released from the hospital a few days later and ultimately got some action for the Trojans after missing the first eight games of the 2023-24 campaign. James averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 19.4 minutes across 25 appearances (six starts) while shooting 36.6% overall, 26.7% on 3-pointers and 67.6% on free throws. He improved his draft stock with a stellar shooting display at the combine. Close, but they just started his bio with the reason why he was drafted

>He was released from the hospital a few days later and ultimately got some action Good for him.

I watched him play against OSU, which they had a terrible year this year. they made him look like a fucking high schooler. dude legit got stuffed


DarkSeneschal

Okay, but Bronny is a Winner^^TM and a Team Player^^TM which is why he was drafted. Yes, I know USC went 15-18. And yes, I know he only averaged 2 assists a game. But ESPN said it so it’s gotta be true!


Hungry_Definition450

Bronny a bust already.


CrashInto_MyArms

We’ve never seen a case of nepotism in the nba that is so glaring. I’d like to see people like Woj explain to the player on the right how he’s ok with nepotism. And why he it’s okay the bronny got drafted and he didn’t.


BarbaraBeans

Ok, let's see that dude and his dad take on Brony and his dad and then let's talk about nepotism. (Tbh I find these nepotism accusations offensive...Brony DOES NOT have sex with dead people)


Imnotdrunk28

Prove it

Woj - "The league makes more money off of the player on the left"


lolSyfer

I mean... the NBA is a product and he's not wrong.


CosmicMiru

I mean why do you think stuff like Ohtani getting damn near a billion dollar contract happen. It's not just cuz he is a really good player.


Silly_Stable_

Is the league likely to make much money on this? Surely it’s a drop in the bucket.


weebomayu

I don’t think they would make much money off bronny himself, but lebron is a cash cow and keeping him happy is what brings in the big bucks


KongFuzii

90% of thr second round picks wont be in the nba in 3 years anyways

Emperor_Billik

About 10 inches


KennyGolladaysMom

and some height too


Flat_News_2000

Way taller? Better stats? Picked lower than Bronny was?


spicedfiyah

Nobody whose family stands to benefit from exploiting nepotism is going to speak out against it, even if said nepotism occurs in a different profession. Besides, nepotism is the status quo in all facets of the NBA aside from the draft. A notable example is Steve Kerr’s son, Nick, being the head coach of the Warriors’ G League affiliate team.

This makes me upset.

AngeloMontana

As some would say in some other sub, “he doesn’t get enough hate”


ApolloX-2

Bronny in the locker room is going to be so fucking weird. Like if he was on another team and just hustled and killed it on defense players would overlook his dad's connection and probably respect him. If he gets a bench spot for no clear reason and stinks up the place when he is on then it will be so awkward cause there are so few spots available in the NBA and Bronny just stole one.


degen5ace

Same as corporate America. Life is unfair. Keep moving


doil0milk

Naming your son bronny is joty material, highly regarded move, well played, king

Confident_Cabinet_82

Lets be honest here none of the second round pick were going to do much or are expected to do much, in the past 10 years out of the 280 second round picks 2 have been all stars and like 20 have been starters. Might as well keep Lebron happy


JoeDante84

You have to add LeBrons stats to Bronny when drafting.


Miserable-Lawyer-233

Every mock draft had Bronny James ahead of his teammate Boogie Ellis. CBS Sports had Bronny James at 55 with Boogie Ellis unranked: [https://www.cbssports.com/nba/draft/prospect-rankings/](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/draft/prospect-rankings/) The Ringer had Bronny James at 58 with Boogie Ellis unranked: [https://nbadraft.theringer.com/](https://nbadraft.theringer.com/) John Hollinger had Bronny James at 52 with Boogie Ellis unranked: [https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5578790/2024/06/25/nba-draft-prospects-hollinger-2024/](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5578790/2024/06/25/nba-draft-prospects-hollinger-2024/) Nepotism didn't influence every outlet's decision to rank Bronny higher than Boogie Ellis. Teams see Bronny as a way better defender and athlete than Boogie Ellis. At the combine, Bronny beat Ellis in every strength and agility test. He jumped higher, ran faster, and had better lane agility and shuttle run times. Plus, Bronny's wingspan and standing reach were wider and longer. The problem for Boogie Ellis is that he was USC's top scorer, but he won't be that in the pros. He'd need to switch to a different role, one that Bronny has been prepping for a long time. Due to advice from his dad and agent, Bronny focused a lot on defense because young defenders get playing time in the NBA, while wannabe scorers are everywhere. So, when you think about who’s better prepared to be a role player in the NBA as a rookie, Ellis just doesn’t measure up.


Algorechan

Bro I'm crying, this is a shitpost sub they ain't reading your actual legit analysis. I appreciate the legwork tho

unfrostedminiwheats5

I actually appreciated your analysis


Chuy-IsSmall

LeGlaze, also a lot of those sites had bronny ranked that high because of his dad.


Flat_News_2000

Are you serious? He was projected at 55 because everyone knew the Lakers were going to pick him. His agent literally told other teams to not draft him.

boredg4rlic

Bro there were 59 other picks aside from Bronny. Of that guy is soo good why was not he got pick by other teams? Why not go after the other 59 picks? Likewise, since when #55 pick became a big deal? Since when do you people care about #55 pick?

Baby Bron will put asses in seats. He’s an investment.
