I don't know about that but Lebron doesn't help the cause with his foolish comments about what Bronny is going to achieve in the NBA. Let the kid be a kid and don't put pressure on him.
Seems like the appropriate level.

Idk I kinda feel bad for him. His dad is a top 2 basketball player ever and he's clearly not even close. Yet his dad is still in the league and said before he wants to play with him. Tough spot.
Don’t feel too bad, he’ll inherit something like 400 million dollars (at least)
Glad I could help out

I don't wish anything bad on Bronny, but this is setting up to not end well for the young man.
How many children of famous people have crapped out in life because they couldn't live up to expectations?

They can play together in Eastern Europe or Asia.

How many children crap out without expectations? Don’t waste your time worrying about someone who will never want for anything the rest of their lives

So many children of celebrities wind up drug addicts and often committing suicide. Money doesn't matter then.

Good Ole Jed Clampett
That’s not exclusive to rich people though, there are just fewer of them so its more newsworthy when it happens
Having empathy is a good thing. We should all be rooting for him to find some sort of contentment, just like we should with any of these kids. So much vitriol (not you specifically) on this board sometimes.
Oh you can have empathy but I just wouldn’t waste too much time worrying about him anymore than anyone else just because his dad is a potential Goat.

It’s obvious this is turning into a deal that if a team drafts Bronny in the 2nd round they will get to sign Lebron for his final year. I’m sure Lebron is working behind the scenes on a handful of teams that he would play for in his last season.

Pretty much. Let's say that hypothetically Bronny gets drafted. I get that some team might take him only to get his father. I doubt LeBron would want his son sent down to Ft. Wayne or some G-League team. So that means that the team would essentially be working with a shorter bench assuming Bronny isn't quite NBA material, right?

Honestly it’s not the worst package deal in the world. You get Lebron who still is a Top 10 player on Earth and still sells out arenas wherever he goes. Bronny gets a couple minutes of garbage time here and there which is a crowd pleaser. It’s probably a good business move.
