[@luridsilence]

Finally someone says it! I've been going nuts listening to the rest of the media trying to justify this situation! Trying to make it seem like this form of nepotism is the same as the others, is INSANITY! Nepotism in other forms, is already bad--BUT, the plethora of opportunities is the difference maker. The kids will have doors open for coaching, coaching assistant, staffer, media, trainer, etc etc etc... Like, they could literally just CREATE a job. It sucks, but it's reality. However, there are a Fixed number of roster spots available. The population of pro NBA players, all time, is incredibly low. So saying, "well Thiannis is in the league!"--ya, and that's BAD TOO! Even a kid that's mediocre at a job can PROBABLY learn and adapt Enough to somewhat justify a position. But a pro athlete requires a combo of genetics, training, athleticism, and specialized skills that just can't be taught. Bron has the genetics, and Maybe the background IQ... But he's proven nothing else, above another player.

The Lakers spent the 55th pick on Bronny. No one else at that point in the draft is a sure thing. To me, there was no more sensical pick than Bronny at 55 FOR THE LAKERS. You can call it a sideshow but no one else was going to help them at that point in the draft. So, the pick actually makes sense based on the alternatives especially when you consider how it impacts the relationship between the organization and LeBron. You don’t have to like it but it’s a great last chapter for one of the best players in history. If you want to critique something, critique the contract Bronny was given in comparison to what players normally get who are drafted that late.

[@areallyniceguy5382]

Y'all act like he can't improve and who we're u gonna get better with the 55th pick me expert? U probably just a hater or racist let's be real

[@damiang-unit2838]

@areallyniceguy5382 can he get better maybe? But how- he didn't want a 2way contract so he can't play against other mid level players to work on skills and improve. Once NBA season starts they dont practice much. He is not good enough to start or get minutes. YOU want him to fail. He needs reps. By the way, disagreeing with someone doesn't mean you racist. I believe you earn/ work things. If this happened to a white boy/ white family- my stance & view would not change.

For people to pretend like any 55th pick has ever made a difference before is so freaking pathetic.

[@marcusgarvey6231]

That’s not the point. Bronny is already a millionaire and so is Rich Paul. The second round draft was just rich people making money on nepotism that wasn’t necessary. But hey the Lebron father son duo will make millions (maybe a billion) in merchandising for all involved.

Yall making this a nepotism issue…it’s a why are the Lakers drafting players who can’t help the team when the ONLY GOAL for the Lakers is to win a championship issue. And let’s not act as tho there are no good players picked in the 2nd round

[@spenser6353]

they not trying to win a championship

[@SpinnTraxxMusic]

The fact that they only drafted him to appease his Father is what makes it a nepotism issue… it’s already clear with the hiring of JJ as head coach that championships aren’t the main focus right now.

[@sindilacion]

Pick #55 isn't helping you win a championship. Pick #55 would be lucky to play 55 career minutes in the NBA. There are no good players that will help win a championship at pick 55.

Why would you draft someone that had a heart attack? That’s a huge risk. Shows very little care for bronny just so they can play together? You mean to sell high price tickets to lose? Garbage no wonder they hired JJ redick

[@RobertCUlon]

@@chicagodude8888make the argument. Asserting it has nothing to do with nepotism and defending the assertion are two different things. How does it have nothing to do with Nepotism? This is a player who averaged 5 points on a middling college team. Name me one other player who averaged 5 points a game in college and was drafted? Just one. He worked out for exactly two teams, one of which was his father’s team. This has everything to do with nepotism. If he were the first pick in the draft or first top five, and was selected by another team, then you could credibly say he is in the NBA on his own merit. But he wasn’t. He was the 55th pick and was chosen by his father’s team. It is prima facie evidence of nepotism and the burden is on you to disprove it. This is an embarrassment. Epic embarrassment.
