Whether it was the Lakers or not, he was only getting drafted because LeBron would come with him. It’s not just nepotism. It’s also because of threats made by LeBron. His first threat was to leave the Lakers if somebody else drafted Bronny, his second threat was to have Bronny play overseas for a year if another team tried to draft him. The logic falls apart when you look at it objectively as well. LeBron is going to turn 40 this upcoming season. Giannis will be turning 30. One dude is on his last season as a productive player while the other one is a top player in the league and in his prime.

@@raelindsey8456so what? The NBA would still be as big without him. Someone else would’ve shined and they’d have just focused on them instead.

[@ozz7602]

The nba wishes it could go back to it's cavs/warriors bron vs steph ratings all time ratings they had. The celtics won and the Lakers coaching hire got more pub. Ya the nba always needs lebron james.

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

[@cj0402able]

It’s less about him being in the league and more about how people are hyping him up like he’s actually gonna be a good player

Bron really carried the NBA since he was drafted lol. Without LeBron nobody would watch it. He is LeGm

[@greatness7619]

Thanasis is the draymond green of the bucks. Doesn’t really play basketball but he brings a lot of energy and good vibes to the locker room.

[@logomarkz]

Only reason he doesn't play is because he is injured as fuck.

[@F-117_NlGHTHAWK]

The thing that pisses me off about it is guys like drew pember who is arguably the best player in big south history didn’t get drafted yet someone who’s 6’2 and averaged 5 points did

[@xxtopgunxx8764]

He should’ve worked harder so he could have been drafted higher..that, or asked his daddy to work harder, be successful, and use his earned privilege to help him out✌️

[@-sorta]

Thanasis was drafted just 1 year after giannis. If you know anything about giannis, he wasnt 10 percent of the player he currently is for his first 5 years in the NBA. Some nepotism there.

[@NazariYates]

I needed to hear it that way. Both of brothers play in the league as well

Just goes to show, sometimes it ain't about what you know, but who you know. It is what it is

[@Rizzer64749]

How dare he dis thanasty 😡😤

[@awesomemixvol.3309]

Im sorry but Giannis and James are not the same player. They simply aren’t. This move is more reality TV than actual basketball. This is clearly not a championship move by the lakers, but that’s not the goal right now. The goal is online discussion, engagement, viewership on lakers games in the next season, and comments… like the one I‘m writing right now… shit

[@XXWeaponXIV]

They act like Giannis brother isn’t 6”7 6”8 and gets garbage time and he also played overseas? Bronny is undersized not a good shooter nothing about his game is above average he has good athleticism but doesn’t mean anything if he has no skills to score or facilitate

He’s been around that business for his entire life, his life is literally basketball. We can go as far as 5-12 years old and see him have passion for the game, Bronny deserves this.
