"Daddy I'm open!!!!" The memes I've been seeing have been hilarious.

NBA is two rounds

we do have to take into account, bronny james dropped during a practice by cardiac arrest caused by a congenital heart defect which postponed the start to his college season. he only started 6 games, and appeared in around 20 or something like that. they were being very careful with him at USC when he was medically cleared but limited. with that said he def not lebron james but... the stats are limited playing time and a lot of the season missed.

The NBA draft was reduced to 2 rounds in 1989.

There were 58 picks in this year's draft. He was 55.

Bronny will be the first G-League player with a State Farm commercial

Bronny didnt play alot at USC because he was still recovering from cardiac arrest and his minutes were limited and got less then 20 min a game, and it wasn't because of his ability, mainly getting back into playing shape, I definitely think he should have played another year in college but mentioning his points per game without mentioning his minutes, his cardiac arrest and his amazing defense he plays. I personally do not think he will be a star, but he does have the ability to be a solid player. Only time will tell, but this video obviously failed to mention these things on purpose. I feel the reason Bronny went so late, is due to not enough evidence that he will be good, not that he wont be. If he played another year in college, his draft stock would have potentially went up.

The lakers got the steal of the draft with dalton knecht at 17

Was waiting for this reaction from u guys. Good stuff

Fun fact: The James' are now the highest scoring father/son duo in NBA history!

You guys should react to the Jimmy high roller video before this one about the Celtics

Genie Buss probably told them to draft Bronny. lol

This guy's channel is great, he really does a lot of research and doesn't just put out his opinion like so many other's do.

lol at the end I knew the clown would make excuses for LaBrick

1:33 he was drafted 55th that's late second round and its only 2 rounds. also we talking about the lakers they don't need to draft bronny for marketing lol.

The truth is LeBron is doing a once in a lifetime accomplishment with his son and if it were any other star there wouldn’t be this level of hate towards a kid just trying to create his own path

He would never been picked without his name, his limited play past season and health concerns would be more than enough for teams to pass on him, he was already predicted as a possible second round pick but even that seemed questionable and that was before the health concerns. There has been enough top 5 players dropping deep in the draft due to less complicated situations than Bronny.

9:00 I's not a marketing ploy Daz. The Lakers needed to Draft Bronny to keep Lebron. They were fine with potentially wasting their second round pick if it would guarantee another couple years of Lebron. Lebron is all the marketing you need, he brings sooo much money to your franchise, and can also keep your team in sight of a championship. Now will they market the hell out of this? Yes of course, but that's not why they did it. That second round pick was just "2 more years of Lebron James" in the form of a not very talented guard. Also, Aidan, Bronny entered the draft right away because he knew (because of his dad) he was going to for sure get picked. He's also going to have a ton of endorsement stuff involving him and Lebron, there's no reason to think his stock would have risen if he had stayed another year in college... and if he had another year of 10 ppg, and entered the 2025 draft with Lebron a year older, Bronnys window in the NBA might not have even opened at all. Bronny is just a big nepo baby.

if you ask anyone who is criticizing this pick who they think the lakers should've drafted at 55 they wouldn't even come close to being able to name a guy. those picks are completely throwaways. it's bronny or some guy who put up 3 points a game in some foreign division 2 league. the 23rd overall pick in the draft averaged 3 points a game in australia.

I’m a Laker fan, but not really that excited. I’m skeptical.

Welcome back!! Do NHL game 7 highlights!!!

Everybody knows Palinka and Jeanie Buss picked Bronny in order to keep LeBron on the Lakers and have him resign for an extension. Being drafted ensures bigger, guaranteed money and a roster spot. Being picked up as a UDFA. Undrafted (rookie) Free Agent doesn't have as these guarantees. Dalton Kencht is a waaaay more of a steal for the Lakers.

If you want to look for a silver lining it's not as if he was never on any NBA radar. Bronny was getting drafted in some mock drafts, mid to late 1st round coming out of High School for whatever that's worth (Not much in my opinion, but still). Michael Jordan's kids, and the sons of a lot of other Superstar basketball player sons were for the most part NEVER on any NBA radar. He''s coming back from cardiac arrest, on a minutes restrictions at USC so that probably counts for something. If you were to ask me did he "deserve" to get drafted after his Collegiate season last year? I'd have to say No. But the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

The NFL has 7 rounds, The NBA has 2 rounds. After the first round in the NBA draft, you just wishing on a shooting star. Which is why I am cool with Bronny being picked this year specifically by the Lakers.

What about the player that didn't get drafted because of this? Probably his only claim to fame would've been getting drafted, I'm sure someone's father would've been proud of that accomplishment as well but didn't happen because of James pulling this stunt, he has more kids so I guess he'll hang around and play with all of them

its def not a marketing ploy theyre the most valuable franchise in the nba and bron is the richest player who currently taking a pay cut just so the team can get better players he just wants to play with his son b4 he retires in a couple years its not like bronny will actually be a rotation player he'll probably play one game then go to the g league to develop bron has earned this nepotism coming from nothing to being the greatest of all time and playing an unheard amount of seasons at this level as well its not like he didnt earn the rightconsidering how much money he brings to the nba every year alone

Bronny had shit stats and lower level university

He is absolutely not good enough to get drafted without Lebron's Nepotism

Bronny tested really well at the combine too. If not for that, I don’t think he would’ve been drafted. Has a 41 inch vertical. The cardiac arrest put him back a ways before last year at usc.

LeBron's next venture following his retirement will be owning a team in Las Vegas

People need to remember that he was good in highschool and was projected to be a lottery pick before he had a cardiac arrest before the season and then missed half of it and in a limited role

Definitely g league at first

It has taken an opportunity from someone else, even if they didn't turn out to be good, that guy deserves the chance over LeBron's son.

nba is only 2 rounds, so bronny was the fifth to last pick

he didn't get picked highly! he was the 55th pick out of 60! most guys around those late picks are guys drafted on potential or are just drafted because someone has to be picked! it's like that sometimes! there were guys that went before him that are clearly not as good as Bronny right now! and guys who didn't get picked at all but were better! that's the way it goes!

people complain, complain, and complain about it at the end of the day that’s LeBron son if you was a basketball player or if you had any other job and you had a son, wouldn’t you want your son to be successful when you raise your son

The amount of money this will bring the Lakers already makes the pick far more valuable than what the typical 2nd rounder would bring tbh

an average player getting drafted thanks to daddy. Oh well, another case of nepotism. It won't be the first or last.

Nobody was upset when the Bucks took Giannis brother. How many points is he averaging? Lol

The draft is two rounds. While I can concede "it's cool" to have a father and son on the same team, is it cool for Bronny to lose out on a few years of development in the college rank for the sake of his father's massive ego? What happens when he makes the team? Rich Paul and "team Bronny" have already indicated that he isn't interested in a two-way deal (in which he'd play the majority of his time in the G-League). So then, the Lakers are forced to give him a full roster spot to appease his dad? Like you said, it feels like a marketing ploy by James Sr. and the Lakers. Lebron has repeatedly said that he wants to play with his son, but has Bronny ever said he wished to play with his dad?

it's usually 1 round but this year it was 2 rounds

People are going to hate even more when the Lakers take Bryce James in 3 years and all 3 are on the same team 😂

Bronny wouldn't have been picked if LeBron didn't own the Lakers at this point, got his friend as a rookie head coach on a historical franchise, draft his son which wasn't supposed to be drafted and making constant moves for a guy who quits and blames it on the team that no matter if it was Cavs, Heat or Lakers they bend over backwards to do what he wants. Look at the interview with Rob and JJ, bro looks like he just woke up after a night of taking it from LeBron.

Lakers used to be a great franchise. Now they're just a shitshow

I don't think the Lakers or LeBron James need to stoop to cheap marketing ploys.

james choke not goat
