To all casuals... Please explain why you think Bronny "earned" it and it's all because of him and not because of his dad. Kid has barely played in high school and college while showing no real NBA level potential so give me your best reach of a reason instead of saying we're just hating. I bet you can't. I'll wait.

17 games at USC played. That's it

[@KOTJ412]

He’s a Nepo baby that’s why….& it doesn’t help when the media like ESPN gives him a lot of exposure…not fair for the players that are far more deserving of his spot…but that’s LeBron’s world that the Lakers are living in unfortunately! Even their coach doesn’t have any coaching experience but he’s LeBron’s buddy😂…so he’s hired!

[@RobbieStacks90]

You're going to be waiting a long time. They don't have any justification for Bronny's draft position or his stealing a job from a qualified player. They know that Bronny doesn't belong, but they'll defend him to no end because they feel that they share things in common with Bronny when they look in the mirror.

[@fightsims1252]

He was one of the best highschool players. His accomplishments then earned him a spot. He could have skipped college and went straight to the league

He should still be at USC!

I agree to disagree it does adds to lebron legacy and who knows what bronny will become in the future yeah he’s not nba caliber right now but he can be. I mean his dad is arguably the best player in the history of the league so it makes sense to draft him at 55 and se what he can be come at least

Honestly, if he struggles in the G-League then that literally proves he's just not good enough for the NBA. There's been players not good enough for the NBA that would average 25 a game in the G-League.

The NBA embarrassed itself by allowing this "history" to transpire. Never forget that Bronny was an awful college player in his one season at USC while PJ Hall, Trey Alexander, Marcus Domask, Reece Beekman, and DJ Burns, all of whom were exceptional college players, went undrafted. LeBron's time is coming. He keeps thinking he's above the law and makes the rules in life.

[@dvandal674]

I STILL can’t get over Bronny signing his contract! Best contract a late 2nd round draft pick rookie can get especially when splitting time between g league and regular season.

[@keithbarnesx97]

Starting to make more sense that Bronny is a marketing piece, not a deep hooper. Lakers G League team tickets are gonna be crazy expensive just because Bronny is there. They boutta rob their fans blind 🤷🏾‍♂️ I wanna see Bronny develop and dominate to whatever degree he can doe.

He's not good enough to be playing professional basketball. Bronny is someone who needs to play college basketball for as long as he can. He should be in a USC classroom right now. My guess is that he failed out of school, and the media has done its best to hide that information from the public.

Stop Hatin' on Bronny. He earned every bit of those 2 min. 41 secs. on the court. It was all due to the hard work he put in. His Daddy/Coach/GM/Part-Owner (along w/Klutch Sports) did not tell his Asst. Coach JJ Reddick when and where to play him. It's all been due to Bronny's talent and skill. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with the Lakers bending the knee (or bending over) to LeBron and acquiescing to his every wish. Proud of you Bronny 😃. Good luck in the G league.
