We did it, boys. *sniff* (emotional af rn) CONGRATS TO BRON AND BRONNY!!!

[Neal Romer]

The FIRST father and son to ever play in the NBA simultaneously, and by a sheer coincidence of fate they will even suit up for the same TEAM!

I'm so overwhelmed rn with just how proud I am of these two. Lebron put in the work to still be BITW in his 22nd season. Bronny put in the work to earn a roster spot with basketball's most storied franchise.

They did it.

They just.... ****ing did it.

Feel sorry for the lakers first round pick .. who will get neglected over the true first round pick bronny…

nepotism

Funny how nepotism doesn't matter when it's on your team lol

[sbw19]

I truly can't tell who is happier nowadays, LeBron fans or Boston fans. What a time..

[GOBB]

nepotism

Happens in sports. Happens in real life. You probably never typed that word until now tho.

[Jasper]

JJ is the guy I feel sorry for... If he says no .. Lebron will distance himself unless it's garbage time , seeing them both on the court for hero ball.

Glad Ham doesn't have to deal with this playground crap !!!!

[90sgoat]

I see psychological issues in Bronny's future.

Bron did this for himself, he is so narcissistic he thinks he is doing his son a favor, while in reality he is making sure Bronny will feel as if he isn't his own man.

Bronny should decline, go back to college and go play basketball at a level he can actually compete at, maybe Australia or China.

[3ba11]

Congrats I guess but I'm not sure what we're congratulating.. another shortcut i guess.. his ceiling was probably 55th pick if he stayed in college

even heart attack is overlooked to get him drafted to NBAs elite franchise!

imagine how many nigers (from West Africa) are sitting out there undrafted because of this abnormal NEPOkid.

If that was true, why would they call teams to warn he'd go play in Australia if they drafted him? That's means other teams were actually interested in drafting him. 2ndly, if any are sitting out there undrafted because of Bronny, it's one damn player:oldlol:. You're sick.

[gengiskhan]

nepotism

Imagine if MJ somehow got Marcus Jordan drafted to Bulls or Hornets.

The amount of hate generated from Klutch Media and ESPN minions would see no end.

Look how everything is "goody goody" and "congrats." for LBJ and Bronny here

[90sgoat]

Dumbest take one could read. Cringe and Yikes.

Not really.

Maybe Bronny thinks it's cool to live in his father's shadow all his life, maybe he doesn't. Is Bronny going to make a career as the Clutch representative? Getting hired around the league as an agent of sorts?

1st we'd have to imagine Marcus was even good enough to consider the league.

[bdonovan]

I always thought it would be cool if Bronny was drafted to another team and on the final play of the season and last of LeBron's career, Bronny dunked on LeBron, postered him to end LeBron's career. Talked about mixed emotions- being proud of your son but ending your career that way.

Seriously though, it's a cool sight and I'm sure means the world to LeBron. I remember when he came into the league and was just a kid himself.

Decent point. Some players just aren't ready for that jump; and joining the NBA prematurely can be a bad career move. We saw that with James Wiseman.

[ImKobe]

Why are you defending Bron's son tho. I know OP is a troll but Bronny only made it to the league because his father is still an active player and had leverage with the team that drafted him.

[sdot_thadon]

I'm pretty sure they had to tell other teams not to draft him. Somebody wanted him.

How many guys sons have made the league after their fathers retired and werent that good? Did you have a problem with Doc Rivers givnig his son a contract or any of the dozens of coaching sons that got gigs on a coaching staff or even in the front office?, or owners that their kids get to also own the same franchise? Quit hating.

They had to tell that because teams were going to try to draft Bronny in order to attract Lebron there. No one was hyped about a 6-3 freshman who averaged 5/3/2 on 47%TS..

Austin Rivers was one of the best young players in the country and developed into a decent role player in the NBA, he didn't get drafted nor did he get opportunities around the league just because of his father.

Bronny might develop into a decent player, but you'd be foolish to think that he was good enough to be drafted in the 2nd round.

I don't care if he was good enough, people are drafted every season that aren't good enough to be in the league, some are lotto picks. Several guys have had their brothers on rosters at the end of the bench for reasons understood. I could never see myself hating on an 18 or 19 year old child for their fortunate opportunities. We live in a country with a rich history of children benefiting on the back of their parents work or accomplishment. This is just a Lebron thing and you can't help yourself given your section of worship. We understand your pain, Irrationality and all but that doesn't make it any less stupid.

That doesn't make it right. Terrible argument.

[sdot_thadon]

That doesn't make it right. Terrible argument.

How so? Who did he supposedly take an opportunity from, you got a name? He was literally a couple of picks from going undrafted, why should anyone care? Also Rivers got a big contract at the time from his dad when his play didn't warrant it, apparently you saw no issue with that. There's been siblings taking roster spots on the bucks to please their best player, he'll even Jr Smith had his brother on the Knicks, and I'm sure the list goes on. You being upset with Lebron for life doesn't make anything you say logical.

[PistonsFan#21]

That doesn't make it right. Terrible argument.

I honestly dont follow college basketball at all. Did the players drafted after Bronny actually deserved to be drafted ahead of him based on their college performance and potential?

Why do you care about me calling out nepotism? Why are you defending it?

Rivers developed into a solid role player and had a long NBA career. He actually started for Playoff teams. Bronny was one of the worst players in the NCAA with 0 accolades and was drafted to a team that doesn't need another PG. I'm not that invested on the topic but the freaks ITT are celebrating this move and now there's freaks replying to me trying to defend it.

[ImKobe]

Not a huge fan of NCAA either but they didn't need a 6-2 PG when the team is loaded with guards.

I never watched the kid because I don't put much investment in prep ball, nor collegiate ball. I do know Rivers was given 10 mil a year at a time that was considered significant for averaging below double figures. So he ended up having a decent career? Great. This is just another kid getting that same chance for "Your" team and you being upset about it because there was some generational talent available 2 picks from the end of the draft your franchise missed out on. Cut the bs and be real about why you're bothered as if your energy here hasn't said enough a long time ago. And the Lakers don't need another pg, while trying to get rid of their starting one and not having a suitable backup in place? Vincent can't stay healthy for 3 consecutive days so far. That's weird.

[Hey Yo]

People crying about a dude who was 2 picks away from being Mr. Irrelevant.

I just pointed out the obvious in a troll thread. Austin Rivers at one point was one of the best prospects in the world and had a long NBA career and played some decent seasons in LA while making that 10 million a year.

And at one point Bronny James was a pretty high prospect before having a heart attack. His career trajectory has yet to play out. You should hope it's good because he supposedly plays for your team

I'm going to ignore the disgusting pos human part of the post and ask a few questions:

How can one draft spot stop 2 guys from having a career?

How can these "better" players not get into the league despite not getting drafted 2 spots from being escorted out of the building? If they weren't picked at that point, were they even getting picked?

You guys are so weird mofos.

Reality is that Bronny would have never made it to the league without the Bran stimulus package.

So finding a video that probably aligns with your beliefs, proves to us you're not hating? There's a way to determine someone's worthiness ot being in the league, it's called not being in the league. It's worked itself out 1000s of times already and this time won't be any different. Theres never been a circumstance like this where a kid that was projecting high had a heart attack and returned in the same season im sure. Thats why his status is misleading, you believe he was the same kid months after that happening? I didn't watch a second of any of his games and can tell you the answer to that one. And yeah you're hating, what's sad is you're hating a kid because of how his dad makes you feel. If it wasn't Lebrons kid you wouldn't care.

[RRR3]

ImKobe is a deranged LeBron hater for sure but I gotta stick him up for here. I think he probably would be irritated by this even if he wasn't. Nepotism turns people off. I find it disgusting and LeBron is my favorite player to watch. I'm not gonna hate on Bronny because he didn't do anything but blatant nepotism is naturally going to offend people who have to scrap for everything they get. Criticizing LeBron (not Bronny) is fair for this.

Bro he's one of the worst players to ever get drafted. It's shown in the video. Video was made by a Bron dickrider btw who made excuses for the nepotism. I don't have an issue with Bronny personally, but I do have an issue with the Lakers making a sideshow out of this and doing everything to please Lebron while the team hasn't been better than a 7th seed since the bubble run.

Klay just passed up on joining the Lakers (his dad's team) for Dallas because he thinks he has a better chance with Luka & Kyrie. That's not a great look for us. Shit like this isn't going to help them win a championship. Bronny probably won't play any meaningful minutes this season, but it's still not great for a team that's apparently trying to be a championship contender.

I'm done with this topic until the season rolls around though, there's nothing further to discuss here.

[RRR3]

Bro he's one of the worst College players to ever get drafted. It's laid out in the video. Video was made by a Bron dickrider btw who made excuses for the nepotism.
I do agree with you but I recently learned Peyton Watson (drafted 30th overall by the Nuggets in 2021) had even worse stats than Bronny in his one year at college (less PPG and worse efficiency). Although he is 6'8 at least. If Bronny was 6'8 I think it's more defensible.

The thing that's weird is nobody has ever cared about the no. 55 pick in the draft. Most don't even make the league one year at that spot to tell you the quality of that pick. Bronny will follow suit if he's proven to not belong. I can't be bothered over someone being picked one foot out of the draft when I've never cared before this.

I'm not gonna lose sleep over or it or hate on the kid, but surely you can see why it rubs people the wrong way? Bronny seems like he may have been a 4 year guy without the nepotism. He may be NBA caliber one day but he very likely isn't anywhere remotely close now. If LeBron wants him actually playing serious minutes it could get ugly. While LeBron is undoubtedly helping him financially, he's putting a target on his son's back that really doesn't need to be there.

Bet you dont feel sorry for 2 young guards probably from slums and ghettos worked their rear end off, kept their GPA clean, stayed away from drugs and had that faintest of a chance to some how get drafted and probably had a chance of making it big because they both were 'normal' athletes unlike Bronny's heart issue.

I get it but I'm not gonna scream nepotism when I haven't a single time in my life watching it happen for other people in sports and life lol. He might have been a 4 year kid, or he might have had an amazing freshman year without the heart attack. We don't know, and honestly if he isn't worthy it he'll be overseas in a couple anyway.
