"Bronny is NOT an NBA-Level Talent" Per Multiple NBA Execs

[@jaepowers3544]

Those guys in G league will eat him alive on defense and play bully ball on 6ft,1 Bronny who shows no aggression at all And he had the best trainers from his billionaire father, he's had plenty of time to develop

[@AlAl-b5j]

He literally had cardiac arrest. He shouldn't be playing at all

[@ninocrown3247]

Same with Shaq’s son Shareef. Him and Bronny just don’t got it. He had a heart issue at UCLA, but people weren’t making constantly excuses for Shareef due to it.

[@Keefer24]

@@AlAl-b5jYeah that’s the excuse everyone uses for him, if it was that serious he wouldn’t be playing and if it is serious shame on his parents.

[@FPietros]

Heck, I'd even question whether he likes to ball, if anything.

[@Keefer24]

Foreal I don’t think he does, he doesn’t even look like he has fun doing it. Even the interview I saw with his pops, he looked embarrassed. I don’t think his parents asked him what he actually wants to do with his life, Lebron seems to be the one calling the shots for him.

[@topspot4834]

Dad did his boy dirty, just to satisfy his own ego. If it were my son, I'd have encouraged him to stay in school, could've been a solid player and maybe even play pro ball in Europe. I'd tell him to make his own lane, become his own man, and live *HIS* life, not mine.

[@Zett76]

At 18, the "you should do this or that" talks should stop alltogether, I'd say. Give him advise, but let him make his own decisions.

[@alonzotanner1226]

@@Zett76fr. My cousin is almost 40 and became lost and still is cuz his pops (my aunts husband) kept pressuring him to get school done as early as possible since he was 16 and once he graduated high school he constantly reminded him of how the “clock is ticking” in how he should become an engineer so he wasted 14 years trying to finish college wasting thousands of dollars at a SUNY he never came close to completing til this day, but kept caving under the pressure. Hes a manager at a Best Buy I think somewhere in NY right now but I think if his dad didn’t push him so hard he would’ve had a much smoother time with school and actually finished and became something better than working at Best Buy.

[@rm8281]

You don't have to be an NBA exec to see that Bronny is in way over his head. From all reports he sounds like a great young man, but that isn't enough to be able to compete at this level.

[@PabluchoViision]

This is crazy, it’s almost like Magic is saying Bronny needs to be the parent, and tell his “kid“ LeBron: “I’m not ready for the NBA, I need to play in the G League this year.”

[@Zett76]

He needs to find something he can excel in. Pro basketball isn't it.

[@rhym8882]

2nd rounders drooling at a stable contract, Bronny at 55th getting millions 💀

[@here4boxing]

I’m not a fan of Lebron and his antics at all. I’m genuinely concerned about Bronny’s mental health these days. He knows he’s overmatched, we know he’s overmatched. He’s not a bad player, his game just doesn’t translate to the NBA (right now, anyway). I just want more people to remind themselves that he’s just 20 years old and to a degree, still a kid. He didnt ask for this, this is all his dad’s doing. Like i said before, i hope he’s in a good mental state.

[@ncnyc4418]

...at 20 yrs old you have the right to tell your parents no...he is jus a culpable as everyone else, all he had to do was stay in school

[@here4boxing]

@@ncnyc4418 you don’t tell Lebron no.

[@akaBrilliant26]

This entire situation is ABSURD….LeBron forced this situation for his own ego and to supposedly boost his legacy….but it’s backfiring because Bronny is not even good enough to star in the G league…Bronny’s hands are also on the small side, he has no handle and doesn’t even look interested in playing. I hope Bronny follows his heart and does something else in life and lives happy. He doesn’t need to play basketball…..he just wants to please his dad….

[@itzTobi11]

there are D1 college players that would outclass him. & this is no exaggeration

[@BLACK_MikeHammer]

I'd go a step further and say NAIA and D2 players who would put up better showings than Bronny... He was over hyped even in HS and never put up eye popping numbers then, his one year in college was even more mediocre so this shouldn't surprise anyone... He simply lacks the intangibles it seems to play at a high level.. I mean the kid is clanking FT's at this point...

[@daspeakeasy2]

Whatever happened to earning a spot on the team. If he goes to the g league, he should have to earn a spot. His problem is He never had to work for a spot on ANY team, so he doesn't have that dog🤔🤔

[@MarkM-zt6el]

All these ESPN analysts defending bronny When we can all see with our own eyes how bad he really is, I'm sorry but bronny is not NBA worthy.💯

At least now we know for sure, that they are only playing roles, saying whatever they got told to say.

[@pianoman24]

Rusty!! My guy!! I just happened upon this channel and you best believe I'm subscribed and will be watching from here on out! Production quality is great and I'm not surprised. And I know you know your stuff when it comes to hoop, coach! For me personally, I haven't been a fan of how the self-proclaimed "King" has moved since "the bump" on Spo. You never disrespect your coach like that. All the passive-aggressiveness toward his teammates like Kevin Love, never taking accountability but taking all the credit, paying talking heads to push the LeNarrative that he's the GOAT, always complaining about how he needs more help when he gets the most help of any superstar, getting Darvin Ham fired and hiring JJ Rhetoric... the list goes on and on. The fact that he got the Lakers to draft Bronny and give him a guaranteed 4-yr contract as the 55th pick, and stole a spot from another deserving young baller just rubs me the wrong way. Bronny seems like a good kid, but he doesn't belong in the NBA, not even the G League in my opinion. I think if Bronny had his way, he'd be a video gamer and make great money doing it. I don't believe LeBron did this for his son, either He did it for himself and his LeLegacy... a calculated move as something he was able to do that MJ wasn't able to. LeBalco, LeBiogenesis, LeFlop, LeCheatedTheGame, LeNarcissist can NEVER be the GOAT !!! Shoutout to you and your podcastmates , Coach B! Keep up the good work! -Fred

[@15GoodMinutes]

My man -- Fred, what's good?! Your summary is spot on. I have polled many and the general consensus is that even if he stayed at USC another year, the talent level wouldn't increase. Could be a really good overseas player - but to your point, the Lakers will follow LeBron as long as he's there. Hey man - thanks for checking out the channel and I truly appreciate the sub!

[@pianoman24]

@@15GoodMinutes I'm in complete agreement with the consensus. Glad to see you're in the KZbin space. I want to take the leap myself. I'm still writing music, still performing...

[@pushslice]

honestly, in the big picture, this really isn’t about Bronny. this whole situation moreso diminishes LeBron from being in the goat conversation, to essentially the grand spectacle of turning his “brand” into a joke. And that, alas … will be imprinted onto his legacy. Right or wrong, it will be “the last thing” people will recall of him for years/decades to come. #Fail

[@stevenaleman7454]

LeBron has become LeFraud for setting his son up for failure because was fully aware that his son is NOT NBA ready!!!

[@codythompson9035]

Any man wishing bad upon this young man is a waste of air as far as I’m concerned. That said it’s a bad situation set up for failure. Realistically, best case scenario, if he were to stay in college for four years to develop, he possibly could turn into a role player. With enough work and patience it may be possible even if far fetched. Problem is that others don’t get that opportunity. Will be given unrealistic standards and their entire career opportunity will hang on it. Sucks no matter what but I will always prefer to rock with those that put the work in regardless of opportunity.

[@djukez]

“Where is he going to get meaningful minutes?” Bruh, he’s the 55th pick, not everyone who gets drafted plays 😂 this is not shocking news. Plenty of guys 10-15 on the roster that get very little minutes…

[@Riyadh460]

🥱

[@ninocrown3247]

G-League is full of elite college and foreign players who can’t make the big league. Bronny would struggle to average 10 ppg in the G-League. Bro barely averaged 4 ppg on a weak USC team.

[@lawnself6110]

It does not matter if he is an NBA calibre talent. What matters to the Laker ownership and the league is that having Lebron and Bronny play together is generating a lot of money

[@MarkMay-cr6bv]

In what universe is it generating a lot of money? Nobody is going to Lakers games to watch Bronny, I doubt he's selling much gear, and like all pro sports teams the real money comes from TV contracts, which are negotiated years in advance and remain stable until the next round contract talks.

[@Mypotatostory]

you know you know... idk

[@65May2]

This is nothing new why are they even talking about this his own father know he's not ready

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

What’s funny is he plays the game a lot like old Lebron, except he has none of the skills and none of the size so it shows only his bad habits. I believe if the Lakers had not forced taken him, he wouldn’t have been drafted. Teams only said that to not make LeBron mad.

[@33corsaire]

Honestly he wasn’t really a power 5 talent

[@kinglou8071]

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

He doesn’t even have good size, he’s a 6’1” SG they wanna make a pg. he has no natural instincts in how to play basic offense let alone run one. He has even worse defensive instincts. These are easily broken down on film. Oh and he can’t shoot or create for himself either.

[@Carlospjr]

He’s not a good college player, the G league would eat him alive. He has no business playing in the NBA. The Lakers had no business playing him at this level. Trying to appease LeBron, the Lakers are making a mockery of the Lakers.

[@entertainingsportshighligh7525]

he only played 2 pre season games . lol can you wait at least until the NBA season reach the halfway mark, like by the all-star break before you fully judge him, ??? lol you people not even giving him time or a chance to develop as a player & get no kind of NBA basketball experience under his belt, lmao

[@chosen3438]

I believe as a father who cares for his son, he doesn't want bronny to go through wrong decisions like himself during his career. In a way he's coddling him and it's not going to help bronny grow as a man himself and may never appreciate his father for who he is and respect him for what he's been through because it was all just given to him on a silver platter. Hopefully bronny is more mature than we think that he is. Hard to be with a bottle in your mouth though.
