Lakers select Bronny James in NBA Draft

The Los Angeles Lakers have selected Bronny James with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, raising the likelihood that the former USC Trojan will take the court with his father, future Hall-of-Famer LeBron James.
Bronny, aka LeBron James Jr., played one year at the University of Southern California, a college career that was significantly shortened after he suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice. He was able to return to the court within a few months but struggled to make an impact for a Trojans squad that went 15-18 and finished 9th in the Pac 12. Bronny averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game in his lone college season.
He will now join the Los Angeles Lakers and have the opportunity to play alongside his father.

This solidifies that the main problem with the Flakers is their management that is clearly controlled by LBJ.

I for one can’t wait till LeBron James leaves the Los Angeles Lakers,as a longtime fan.

[@bengaltiger96]

He delivered LA one title. Sadly, it's the last days of Kobe 2.0, where a player ran the team and it went nowhere.

[@B1onicelbow420]

Ya the all time leading scorer in history and helped us win a title and you want him gone. We are spoiled as a franchise if you are saying dumb things like that try being a hornets fan for a year and see if you say the same stupid thing you just said

[@B1onicelbow420]

@@bengaltiger96are you really downplaying an nba title? Spoiled much as a franchise?

[@bengaltiger96]

@@B1onicelbow420 No, I'm saying that for the Lakers to contend for a title, they need to rebuild from the ground up. This hanging on to LeBron will keep LA in it's current path - a decent team that is making the playoffs but never getting to the Finals or winning another title.

Nepotism at its worst. The kid from duke was light years better then bronny and he got drafted last by the jazz. There’s no doubt this kid would have never been drafted if his dad wasn’t lebron what a waste if a pick could have just signed him as an undrafted free agent nobody was drafting him he’s not even average

The same team that decided Jerry West was a bitter old man and will give favors to members of Showtime era over competency

Sorry kid, Mac McClung is way better than you. Even Nate Robinson & Isaiah thomas. Do you think you Guard unprimed Curry, Westbrook & Irving? Can you guard prime Austin Reeves if he leaves L.A? Sorry kid, you don't have a talent. Your skills belongs to B-leagues not in NBA. You are there, because of your father that carries the surname "JAMES". I saw your mother plays basketball. You got genes on your mother side. 👍
