[@Ssjiskkidjj]

You’re taking what he’s saying seriously when he didn’t even watch the game 😂 Marc Spears is a clown. Bronny did go 0-4 from three the first game, the 2nd game he went 2 for 5, not “1 for 3” as he claimed. Is 40% from 3 bad? He was literally player of the game from the 2nd scrimmage after he settled down. Then Spears proceeded to give 2 negative scout reports on Bronny when there’s also positive reports online. That’s because he came to the show with his narrative made about Bronny already. And that’s fine, Bronny will continue to prove himself all the negativity is just noise.

The Bulls drafted Jimmy Butler late in the second round but was very raw when he entered the NBA, and he didn't really develop until Tom Thibodeau started coaching him. He eventually became a huge baller but it took a lot of time before he blew up.

[@brucesmith1754]

I'll bet the media didn't want to get on L.A Bron's bad side by disclosing too early that his son is about the same height as Jalen Brunson. Bronny may have tailored his game to become a scoring big man, likely expecting to grow near his father's height. The scouts are basically saying that he needs to learn how to run point, the only position appropriate for his size in the NBA.

The NBA should consider drafting Bronny James. Right now, even though he's still in the combine, he's already attracting a lot of attention from the media, which could benefit the league. Among all the players in the NBA combine, Bronny seems to be the one generating the most talk. As of fan of Broony, I'm excited for the possibility of him joining the Lakers. Let's go Lakeshow!

"He's not a nepo baby" is the stupidest thing I have heard about Bronny James on ESPN so far

[@DSounz]

Not really. Nepo babies get where they’re at solely on their parent’s name and usually have no skill or talent whatsoever. Bronny has skill and talent. Is it Lebron level skill and talent? No. Would you say Curry was a nepo baby? He worked for it and earned his status. Bronny will have to work for it but let’s not act like he doesn’t have the potential for it. Only problem I see with Bronny is he ain’t as hungry or even serious.

[@d.c.thirtythree7752]

@@DSounzWhat? Bronny is the definition of a Nepotism Baby. He shouldn’t have been a McDonald’s All American, he’s a low level division 1 player at best let alone a NBA prospect. Nepotism at its finest

[@jnova707]

@@DSounz @DSounz Some nepo babies do have skill and talent especially in film, television, and radio. Bronny James has talent and skill but not enough to put him on ESPN or enough that he would get drafted if he was just Bronny James another USC guard who isn't even as good as OJ Mayo. If another kid didn't want it bad enough and wasn't willing to make their life basketball do you think they are getting drafted averaging 4 points a game? I'm sure you're smart enough to know the answer is no they are not getting drafted. So how does Bronny James get drafted? His Dad has power and influence and he will get Pelinka or another GM to draft him. Bronny is a nepo baby. I hope though he does find happiness in whatever he is passionate about clearly basketball isn't it.

[@fadethechannel]

If he’s a nepo baby, so what. That’s why you work hard, to give your kids a leg up. If your parents had any type of talent or money, i’m sure they would’ve done the same for you.

[@myspiritanimalisacostanza]

You make it out like nepotism means you have no individual talent. Peyton manning benefited from nepotism aswell but you can't say he didn't have skill to be great himself. It's not a negative to having more chances based on who you know, it's a benefit.
