Bronny James

[orangefog]

Kid seems to have been done wrong on so many levels, just to be sure he and his dad both get on an NBA .

I wish someone would do me wrong like that.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

How has he been done wrong? Zero chance he even sniffs the NBA if he wasn’t the son of King James

He had a cardiac event as a freshman. Hardly a chance to improve his game. A year or two in college and no one knows where he might get to. He is certainly a plus athlete.

So you would be a national laughing stock and punch line? So any success would be deemed as mere nepotism?
At least now we know how much your integrity can be purchased for.

I guess I don’t care so much what fools think of me as you do.

If you pay me millions I will gladly become a national laughing stock. Only weak folks care about what people who’ve they’ve never met think about them

It's still a dog-and-pony show.

Grown ass men hating on a young adult getting a break in life is some crazy stuff.

I guess you never read fan boards before, huh?

Correct. Which doesn't mean they're putting the best basketball product on the court.

Uh oh we found the LeBron obsessed weirdo of the board don’t say anything negative about the king guys, or face the beheading!

i can remember years ago frank sinatra jr. was booked to play at the local high school.
show was cancelled for lack of sales.

Far from a LeBron fan and really haven’t followed the NBA in many many years.I live outside of Akron and work in Akron and the hate I hear for this kid is amazing.Just find it crazy that people really let it get to them that the kid is getting a freebie.

That young adult is also a grown man. Just for the record.

What qualifies as hate and what qualifies as legitimate criticism will vary from person to person, I suppose. Generally, though, nepotism is never looked upon favorably.

Agreed, but he’s there for A reason nonetheless, and making a pretty penny doing it

P T Barnum is proven right again.

I'm Jim Boeheim and I approve this message.

 

[Eric15]

I’m kind of on the fence with this. Lebron has provided incalculable wealth and contributions to the NBA over his 20 year career, and perhaps he’s earned this brief perk of playing with his son which is clearly very important to him. On the other hand, this is a merit-based business and it sucks that a roster spot is being taken up by someone who clearly isn’t an NBA talent.

 

[BomberOrange]

Yes I clicked on this, but shouldn’t this be on Other Sports?

eric buddy that sounds vaguely familiar.

8 million dollar break.

The difference is Bronny is at the very end of the bench and not getting starter minutes.

That's all fine. Dame got his cousin an end-of-bench role. Totally didn't deserve it. Didn't deserve even G-League time.

However, he didn't put him in front of cameras, get Ken Griffey Sr/Jr to do photos, etc etc.

The media stuff pretending Bronny is here on his own merits is the problem.

Kid wasn't all LA, made McDonalds, wasnt good in college, got a combine invite, isn't good now and has a roster spot and has these dumb media moments like he's earned it.

He wants to stay low profile and stay on the bench? All for it. What this is? No way.
