Bro, the problem is that nobody expects anything from Bronny at this point...lol. He was never an NBA prospect in the first place. If he was not Lebron's son, he would be just another struggling player hoping to make it. Stephen A is making this a social justice problem for his own reasons. More than anything else this is bad for Bronny's respect and future, especially if he fails. So, its pressure more than anything else in my opinion.

This commenter’s relationship with their father got nothing to do with them commenting on a main media story. It’s no comparison and you’re trying to get personal. This man and his son are in the spotlight. His son is grown making big bucks, and it’s being questioned if it is at all deserved. Let the chips fall where they may. This man don’t need your defense!

The only unfair thing is the criticism you’re putting someone down who hasn’t even played in the league yet you’re putting someone down who didn’t even have a preseason after coming back from heart surgery If you play any sports you should know how hard it is to come back from a injury and catch up with everyone I don’t get you’re hate at least let the man play and mess up

[@BruvahSulaiman]

​@@PreparingTheWayForTheLord Speaking objective truth isn't putting someone down. Unless you think Bronny intentionally played poorly in college, there is no basis to predict that he'll be good in the NBA or to deny that he was only drafted because of who his father is. It's the literal equivalent of hiring a driver who crashed the first vehicle he drove and assuming he's going to do a good job driving a vehicle that is more difficult to drive. Sure it's possible. But it's highly unlikely. And there is nothing wrong with pointing that out. They could make the draft a private event that the media has no access to. Then no one would know who was drafted. That's what would be necessary if you don't want to allow criticism and analysis of whoever got drafted. Nobody here forced Bronny to leave college or to pursue a career in sports entertainment. Criticism is something be knew as part of the game. He does not need or benefit from your caping.
