Let's be fair though. What Chris said is true. Nepotism isn't just on the players. Management and the League also has been affected by nepotism. You can see it within the Lakers management itself, it being a family corporation. However in the case of Bronny, it's bad because he doesn't have the stats, the experience and has a medical history that would proclude any other regular player with those same conditions from being considered.

I've repeated this on other channels. I've been a Laker fan since Wilt and Jerry West. When Lebron signed on, I signed off. I was feeling the circus coming to town, and I was not down for it. I could not dream of Dr. Buss being g or allowing his Team to be bullied and or manipulated by Lebron or his agent.

[@KRey112]

This is not as much about nepotism. It’s about demanding the team draft the kid. Lebron is not slick, he refuses to sign his extension, so the team had to draft the son. As the media plays along “Lebron is a free agent” sure Jan! 😂😂And it’s embarrassing that Lebron or his son have no dignity. A free path to the nba? If bronny was a great player, then come on in, you have earned your spot! It’s really sad.

There's always been nepotism in NBA, but never to this degree where 2nd round 55th pick is hyped up and mentioned more than all other top prospects. Shannon Sharpe and Gilbert Arenas even praised Bronny for his combine performance, calling it "impressive" when it was poor to mid at best.

[@kiroolioneaver8532]

Yeah there's a total difference to nepotism in management roles and on the field of play. Sometimes, arguments can be made that a person's intangible requirements (have known other GMs/owners since they were kids because their parent had a similar job or a cultural knowledge) can be used to prove competency (or eventual competency) over "qualifications" per se (i.e. schooling vs. education). The difference with the field of play is there is an objective standard of performance; you can either dribble, shoot, steal, block or you can't. And if you can't, your team will lose. It's zero-sum. If the manager of the Red Sox son bats .021 he cannot justify putting him in the lineup or even the 26-man roster based on "he knows what it takes to be a pro because his daddy was a player and is now the manager."

I never really liked the term "How do you sleep at night?" Until now. Like seriously. How does lebron sleep at night knowing his career has only been about manipulating the entire league since the year he joined Miami. How can you look in the mirror & be proud of that? Oh I guess the same way his son will look in the mirror feeling proud about being drafted knowing in his heart he didnt earn it

[@DanTarrant1]

Yes, I'm sure LeBron James stays awake all night trying to deal with the guilt of helping the NBA earn record revenue each year.

[@SocomVeteran]

@DanTarrant1 As if the league wasn't the league before him just the same as it will be after him. & speaking of record revenue. The league's revenue has dropped since Lebron has been the face of the league. Playoff numbers have dropped & finals numbers have dropped. But you didn't know that right? Lmao FOH

[@deino4753]

I feel like there are many teams that mightve been interested in drafting Bronny to get LeBron in a package deal (Mavs and Warriors come to mind). I hate that Klutch Sports (LeBron *cough cough*) can just continue to bully teams in this way. They did this with Anthony Davis and other players. It's just weird how this isn't blatant tampering. Like lets say LeBron said he wanted to play with Wemby (before he was drafted) and then immediately afterwards, Wemby signs with Klutch Sports and then Rich Paul calls Gregg Popovich and says if you draft Wemby, he wont sign with the Spurs. This completely undermines the integrity of the draft. Draft position becomes pointless. A team gets rid of all their 1st round picks but it doesnt matter because they can use player agents to bully other teams to pass on players they want.

[@DanTarrant1]

I hate to be the one who tells you this, but in pro sports players sign contracts not because they've "earned" them, but based on what the team thinks they'll be able to contribute in future years. I mean, nobody drafted into the NBA has "earned" a contract, by definition a draft pick has not played a minute in the league at that point anyway.

[@seanwallace89]

@@DanTarrant1 bro, you are just playing semantics. Obviously a rookie being drafted has zero NBA experience, but "earned" is associated w the talent, dedication, and skill one only acquires by putting in many hours at the gym previous to their NBA career... not to mention their HS and Collegiate bodies of work also would be considered "earned" merits.

[@DanTarrant1]

@@seanwallace89 You may be new to professional sports, but when the NBA drafts a player and signs him to a contract, the team is not paying him a reward for stuff he's already done in college nor do they give a player wages based on how much time he's spent in the gym. The player signs the contract to get paid for work he is going to do in the future.

Chris broussard is just going to suck up the LeBron make excuses there is a gentleman that played on the same team that LeBron LeBron James play for score more he had a better scoring percentage shooting percentage everything and didn't even get drafted 🤔

[@CharlieLucky526]

The difference between front office nepotism and nepotism with the team is that no one pays good money to go to a game to watch the GM or anyone else in the front office. The players are the product and we want to see the very best perform. Also, it’s far easier to overcome deficiencies as an executive over time by observing and being effectively trained relative to an athlete like Bronny trying to overcome his lack of height, and lack of athletic prowess.

[@gutenbird]

First off the sport hasn’t had integrity since they rigged it for the Lakers 20 years ago. I think it’s a good move because now people will be able to see if Bronny is good enough to play or if it was all just a hypothetical.

[@danielshepard7357]

They fixed multiple games for both teams(or at least a corrupt official said so in a book lol) but of course you forget that part.

[@gutenbird]

@@danielshepard7357 no. They fixed it for the Lakers. Anyone watching the Kings series knew it was rigged way before a ref ever said anything. Spin it how you like, the Lakers did not deserve to become the Western Conference champs. Don’t rewrite history to serve your team.

I've been a Lakers fan for 45 years and this move ended my support of this organization. RJ Davis from UNC is just one example of a player that's better skill wise than Bronny but probably will never play in the NBA ,many individuals work hard on their game to hear their names called but won't realize that dream and that's all right because it's the journey that's important. Bronny took a position from someone

Rob Parker needs to sit down somewhere. He Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless and the rest of the Jordan Pom Pom waving fanboys need to sit down somewhere. I am an old head and I have no problem with Bronny James getting drafted. If he was anyone else’s son other than LeBron, none of this hyperbolic nonsense would be uttered. The shade that he received reeks nothing but envy and for grown behind men to be envious and mean spirited towards a young man who is willing to do whatever it takes to make the league is pitiful.

[@greatray6262]

As a father I can understand wanting to help your children to be successful. I think what Labron's doing for his son Bronny is actually hurting him more than helping him to be successful. Opening doors for his son to compete at the highest level of basketball competition when his son's clearly not playing anywhere near that level, in my opinion amounts to Labron setting his son up for failure. If Bronny were my son I'd been advising him to return to school and work on becoming a much better player than the player that he currently is. I believe it's selfish on Labron's part to prematurely rush his son's development in the name of wanting to make NBA history as the first father and son to play together. He's throwing his kid to the lions to feast upon.

[@bflbflbfl]

Just because everybody is doing a wrong thing (nepotism), it doesn’t mean it is now OK to do it.

The bottom line is that Bronny James will neither help the Lakers win games nor put butts in seats. This is just to feed Lebron's massive ego and brag that he has done something that Jordan hasn't even though it is a publicity stunt. Fifty years from now everything will be forgotten except that Lebron and his son played together in the NBA. It will forever be etched in the history books.
