LaVar Arrington Says False Sense of Reality Will Ultimately Hurt Bronny James

[@stingrey1571]

everyone in the media is afraid to say the obvious out of fear for offending the top star in the nba. HE SUCKS!!!! no one is willing to say it. if you say bronny james cant play. then you risk losing access to lebron james, the lakers and any klutch sports players.
