Bronny not even bad, things people don’t understand is, if you play the same lvl, you will get used to it and will get no better, but if you play a harder lvl you will adapt and get better, for Bronnys case, he is already pretty good so he has way more potential than most, so he will get better over time

[@mrstealcar4702]

People bending over to Lebron to defend nepotism is insane. Just because its common doesn't mean its right. And you shouldn't be shouting at other people complaining about nepotism like you are proud of the existence of nepotism in the NBA.

[@xxtopgunxx8764]

I’m not proud of it, but we’re not hypocrites. In that situation, most would have done the same thing… If you were successful, in an advantageous position, you wouldn’t use you earned privilege to set up your family members or friends, etc..? Well, I guess that makes you better than us lol…and an a**hole :)) I sure would have. It’s one of the perks of being successful.

Yes this happens all over in every industry, doesn’t make it right or that everyone should pretend that he’s there for the right reasons.
