Whether people like the old man James is neither here nor there. The kid has no talent, period, and that's a fact based on stats and the eye test. But it is true that James' fanboys tend to give this horrendous draft decision a pass, for no apparent reason other than whataboutism. Put it like this, if Jordan had used his position as team executive, or owner, just to draft his own boys, people would rightly be killing him in the media, as well; and Jordan's kids were way better prospects than the younger James. And Jordan has gotten unlucky drafting some notable great high school players. There's no way in the world that Jordan would be taking a flyer on someone just because they're family. That's pure garbage, hurts the team, and is therefore totally disrespectful to the game.

As of the 2023-2024 NCAA Division I men’s basketball season, there are approximately 4,500 Division I players . Based on this number, here are the approximate rankings for Bronny James in the key statistical categories: 1. Points Per Game: Bronny averaged 4.8 points per game, which places him approximately around the 3,420th position among all Division I players, assuming a linear distribution where the top scorers average above 20 points per game. 2. Field Goal Percentage: With a field goal percentage of 36.6%, he would be around the 3,510th position, given that top players often have field goal percentages above 45%. 3. Three-Point Percentage: His three-point shooting percentage of 26.7% would place him roughly at the 3,493rd position, considering that top shooters typically exceed 40% from beyond the arc.

It's a schizophrenic situation. On one hand, LBJ has sheltered his son and paved the way for him. On the other hand, LBJ is pushing a 19 year old into a situation (the NBA) for which Bronny appears unprepared. Shrinks make a living unravelling messes like this.

Low floor and a low ceiling does not justify a 2-year guaranteed contract. It’s disrespectful to players who played 4-years of college ball, never got drafted, and had to “earn” their way onto an NBA roster, develop in the G League, before ever getting guaranteed money. That is, Fred Vanvleet.

The biggest issue is the facade behind it ll. JUST TELL THE TRUTH. This is only making it worse, we would have all understood and respected it if LeBron said it was a selfish demand of his because it was his dream to play with his son (who almost died). It would have been a story for a week and then everybody would have moved on, but this? Bronny will NEVER live this down because everybody is going to be critical of how he was drafted his entire career. Either let Bronny be his own man who earns his spot in the league, or openly put him under your wing, needing to have it both ways is exactly why a lot of people don't like LeBron.

[@JohnS-gf4sz]
