NBA Players Furious Over Bronny James Guaranteed Contract With Lakers

[@eliasarechiga1927]

I thought Lebron said Bronny was ready to smoke players in the league, but now Bronny needs time, needs to get rhythm of the game, WHAT?

LeHypocrite 😂

[@CodyDylanFerrell]

Well cmon... most seasoned college players who are top round 1 draft picks are not ready to "smoke players" in the league and need time to get into rhythm of things... Anyway; think Bronny is going to surprise alot of haters & doubters. He just needs time like most rookiers. IMO; think by year 2 or 3... Bronny will be a productive and contributing NBA player... I really do. Kid is VERY coachable, humble, and grounded... another thing Nepotism happens in EVERY career field... and if anyone deserves nepotism its Lebron James - a guy who has genuinely been one of the best role model athletes of this generation & has been drama free his entire career off the court.... You dont see people so critical of other nepo baies like folks have been on Bronny (such as kids in the entertainment industries)... and like most of them are undeserving spoiled, entitled brats... Which on the flip-side; everyone must admit - that is seriously the opposite of Lebron's son(s). They may be spoiled. But they are respectful, hardworking, and humble.

The problem I see is that if there is enough backlash it could create a negative team image and hostility bc it robbed a spot for a player who could benefit the team.

@@mvpfocus that's just not how PROFESSIONAL SPORTS works, REMEMBER, the professional sports bidness calls itself ENTERTAINMENT, these are privately owned ENTERTAINMENT "groups", IF there were an ENTERTAINMENT group who hired an awful guitar player because he was also a famous actor who will sell more tickets, that group isnt OBLIGATED to give that guitar spot to a talented guitar player, no one is OWED a thing in their plan, they dont even owe it to music to see that they have a talented guitar player, wanting/wishing/desiring that guitar opening ISNT "taking a job" from anyone, even in your example-"......at least if he was hired in the front office he wouldnt be taking a job from a better player that actually needs the money....", shows you dont know what you're talking about, he wouldnt be taking the job from another player, he would be taking the job from another business professional, YET the LA Lakers are not obligated to give that job to the best candidate, they can do as they see fit, the Lakers could suit up a bunch of midgets to play next season if they thought it would sell more tickets, NO ONE is owed a thing,

Life ain’t fair, especially for grown black men. Bron is doing what he can to give his son a leg up.

[@andre-le-bone-aparte]

Bronny got a leg, a 12 piece wing, side dishes, and drinks - not just "a leg"

[@MarkMay-cr6bv]

@williambush7472 Get out of here with that whiny, racist "I'm a victim" garbage. In the last 50 years blacks have had more government and entitlement and special programs availble to them than anyone. If they don't take advantage of it that's on them.

[@carboy101]

Racism isn't really an argument for LeBron getting his talentless son

[@mrbutchie28]

His son already has a leg up! He's set for life with or without basketball... that's why it's a slap in the face to someone else that was more deserving

[@texasred5739]

The son of a billionaire needs a leg up!🤦🏿‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@patrickm6483]

Lebron took 4mil pay cut , lakers knew signing him was gonna cost that 15man spot for bronny

[@VonJay]

“We’ll do the same thing” ???? I’ll never set my kids up to be embarrassed. What is everyone missing from this? He’s going to get destroyed. It’s like if I’m an astronaut and I send my kid to the moon knowing that he’s not half as smart as me. Not only that others have worked their entire lives to get to that point and he robbed them of that experience.

[@bodiesbydefinition]

Homie, you don’t speak for any father, but yourself: You already proved that, by citing MJ “didn’t abuse his power, to sign his sons to the league”. I wouldn’t do that shit, either; especially knowing that he isn’t ready for such competition.

[@TizzleTravels]

It's messed up, but if your pops were around and successful, he'd put you on as well! All parents in position put their kids on some kind of way...

[@_HMCB_]

I’ve not been watching but from the few times I saw him played, how did he even make it to second round?

[@mycryptolingo5974]

I think everyone is missing the point. It’s not about Bronny. It’s about business and the Lakers owners. The NBA and the Lakers allowed this to happen because they would generate revenue from the first NBA father-and-son duo. Why should the NBA pass up on this opportunity? It will cause higher ratings and generate more revenue from merch, advertisements, etc, which also contribute to players having the ability to receive these max contracts. If you were an NBA owner, would you let your cash cow, who’s at the tail-end of his career, leave and go to another team? The NBA does well when the Celtics and Lakers do well or have drama to sell. Remember, this was not an appealing draft class to begin with.

[@adreanasterling5153]

Draft class may have not been great, but Bronny didn't deserve to be there.

[@40yearprocess.6]

I will wait until the second game of summer league to really criticize Bronny’s game. Nepotism is real, Jordan could’ve done the same thing for his sons, but MJ probably didn’t want to embarrass himself. Good luck Bronny this is gonna be a long ride I hope you’re ready. 😊

[@tyronedicus9657]

Some 6'7 guy is going to have to work at Walmart because the Lakers drafted Bronny

[@YouTubeSlobsOnDaNob]

I think if he finished college, he still would be a bust. He has talent rubbed off from the pops no doubt, but there are so many kids that busted their ass that are light years ahead of Bronny.

[@adreanasterling5153]

I agree with everything you said, except the talent part.

[@marcuslewis7888]

I don’t wanna hear about takes on Bronny until ppl call out the owners who pass down teams to the family members and run teams into the ground.

[@rooseveltdarbey9493]

Key words there teams this is not LeBrons team. If he wants to pass Clutch sports to his sons then fine no one will have a problem with that.

[@marcuslewis7888]

So an owner can run a team into the ground but a player with one of best bball IQs in nba history can’t bring along his son and teach him the game and be pro. I’m pretty sure Bronny will listen to everything he says and he can keep an eye on him. Any decent father would do the same.

[@5555emerson]

Had to be expected yet I was super surprised LeBron took the 101 mil vs the 104 mil.

[@nehemiahward3086]

Bronny should start filming Space Jam 3 right away

[@lancelindgren5655]

So he runs nba now. Cmon ppl in charge, whole country n players etc saying it's bs. Be like pat Riley n tell the queen off n put things back to normal. It's sad.

[@Groszozo]

Lebron is the real life homelander. It is just that most people are starting to realize it now.

[@snackattack200]

It is not fair, but nothing in life is ever FAIR

[@mustang8812822]

Imagine if there was social media back when Ken Griffey and son played on the same team if there it would be a story .

[@victortrias3362]

I say give em a chance. People get all up in their feelings over literally anything. No one said anything about Thanos Antetokounmpo and he has more Shaqtin a'fool highlights than good ones.

[@MrNinout]

Bronny doesn't work on his craft he goes home and plays video games remember 😂

[@nafisaustin5063]

Lebron knowing what it took for him to be at this level should not want his son to go thru that at all.

[@adreanasterling5153]

FACTS 💯

[@johnmims6918]

I keep hearing everyone saying he is not a typical second round pick. That’s right. He is more of a 15th round pick which doesn’t exist.

[@lancejones1203]

Lebron didn’t take a pay cut. He made them pay bronny that money they claim they saved off his new deal.. do the math…

[@superkat460]

No gleague talk for Mavs, Clips etc. Gms are signing players. Rob/Buss/Kups must sign Trae or Booker and a big. Bronny will develop skills witnessed at NBA combine. LBJ hate will always hate Bronny, Brice and Klutch.

[@brandonbrooks898]

LeBron says he was behind in his growth due to his cardiac arrest, which completely a valid point obviously, but to say after a half a freshman season avg. 5 pts a gsme , and say yeah, he's ready for a guaranteed 4 yr contract and be only available to two teams to draft him. Doesn't really add up. Take that back, 8 million guaranteed is added up to be exact. Just another reason MJ is the only goat.

[@PreacherLawson]

Who gives af? Basketball is solely for entertainment. I want to see it. Look at all this content It gives y’all. Its dope to see this

[@emmanuelsamson4819]

A fringe player who has just recovered from a heart attack gets a guaranteed four-year deal. Best job in the world!

[@larrymitchell6470]

I’m floored he didn’t require his son to play on the Olympic team

[@shanefsr6609]

life isnt fair, there's all kinds of talent that gets passed up for one reason or another, the gripe seems to be that pro sports is earned and exclusive to talent, that's never been the case and Bronny is just a REMINDER of that fact, with gambling merging into the sports arena we are told that pro sports is ENTERTAINMENT, athleticism is a distant second to marketing, LA Lakers are willing to gamble on the father/son storyline, this isnt the first time a child of a superstar was used to bank on the father's success, nothing wrong with Bronny capitalizing on his father's name-that's what it's about,

[@dwahnyoung]

Tell me you're mad without saying you're mad.

[@tjizzle8155]

Dude.....bronny has a no trade clause too...even if it's not on print......

[@larrymitchell6470]

I’m floored he is even playing, he had his heart attack and I thought of Hank Gathers and if anything happens…it’s on LeBron James and the Lakers.

[@12365elijah]

It’s crazy how so many people hate the player, but not the league that does the same thing at a frequent high clip. It just seems more like jealousy.

[@swandaley]

Adam Silver is so down bad that he's willing to promote a kid who's at the bottom of the second round.

Los Angeles Lakers has become another version of the Kardashians with Lebron and Bronny

Lebron making Hella excuses for this scurb😂😂😂😂😂FOH Bron with that BS..Bronny is super passive and lacks the dog that'd needed

This is no different that what happens at huge companies. The boss has a best friend….best friend becomes manger before the QUALIFIED person…..🤷🏾‍♂️

[@michaelcambridge1542]

Lebron is the only NBA player in history to get swept in 3 different decades. #funfact😂

[@irvchilichill1]

Real talk... Bron is paying Bronny salary. The shit is all under the table. Bron did what WE ALL would try to do for our children if we had the chance. Not mad at Bron using his power to give his son a CHANCE. Just hope Bronny can make it justifiable at some point. Dude got #1 pick pressure on his back.

[@rjg7112]

Never before has a Lakers player been on the team because he is so low grade, no other team wants him. Just a bad business decision.
