As a parent...I get it...you're first instinct is to protect your kids. That's what Lebron wad doing.

Having said that...Lebron has been a professional athlete for 22 years...he knew Bronny would get talked about, so he can't be surprised when it happens.

He can also end the talk by just having Bronny stay in the G-League to develop his game instead of bouncing between the G-League and the Lakers.

End of the day as I said....I get it...but Bronny is a grown ass man and Lebron needs to stfu and let him handle his career.
Yeah he's not doing his son any favors

If Bronny is going to be an NBA player, he needs to forge his own way a little more. His daddy got him drafted. Now LeBron needs to take his hands off of Bronny's career just a tad and let Bronny take his lumps and sink or swim sort of thing!

LeBron is getting killed on social media and rightfully so. Bronny is a g-league player and got where he was because of being a nepo baby. He earned his position like Joy Taylor earned hers.

Bronny also has the highest selling jersey of the year.

The Lakers made a smart business decision, nothing more nothing less.

Can you name 2 players excluding bronny drafted from 45th and later in the 2024 draft without looking at google?

Of course it was a good business decision for the Lakers but he could still sell jerseys while he is in the g-league.

So Bronny earned it? So if his dad was Joe Jones the bricklayer it wouldn't make a difference?
Bronny isn't the first nor will he be the last to benefit from nepotism.

Yeah but Lebron doesn’t need to be a hilicopter dad lol

Exactly...Bronny isn't ever going to be his Dad or even a starting caliber player...but he does have enough talent to be a serviceable NBA player. But what he needs to get there is time on the basketball court developing his game...his heart issue in college cost him almost 2 years of development and he's not going to make up for it by sitting on the end of the Lakers bench watching his Dad and hoping to catch a couple of minutes of garbage time at the end of a blowout.

I dont give a damn if he earned it or not. Can you name me 2-3 players drafted 40th and later in the 2024 draft without using google?

He wouldn't have been drafted at all
He wouldn't have the top selling jersey
He wouldn't play any games for the Lakers nor any games in the g-league

If his father wasn't LeBron quit lying

Also say what you want about Bronny James, I am almost certain he is putting up better numbers in the gleague compared to other 2nd picks draft around the same pick as him

Avg 22/5/5 in the gleague but wouldn't be in the gleague without Lebron lol sure just say you hate Lebron and his family.

He is right

Bronny would be in college today if he wasn’t LeBron’s son.

But that does not mean he isn’t good enough to be in the G league. He clearly is.

Why are you acting like he's been on the Lakers team all season? He's played several games with the g-league team

This is true and he's actually started putting together some pretty darn good games as well. If memory serves, he's had about 3 or 4 30+ point games.

But they keep bringing him back up to the Lakers when he should be in the G-League having more of those type games and continuing to develop.

I was thinking they'd have him up some early in the season, then he'd be in the G-League the rest of the season. But he's been with the Lakers a good bit more than I expected.
