The fact remains, 0% of college players would declare with those stats... its ridiculous to even consider.

Nepotism is alive and well and always will be. But I think it would be a bad decision for him to go pro. He definitely needs more development in college. I mean averages 5 points/game. Really?

It's like a 4th string WR who only had 20 career catches and no TDs declaring for the NFL draft. It's ridiculous

If he was a plumber he’d be ‘joining the family business’ and they’d call it James & Sons

Comparing getting into the NBA to getting hooked up at some common job is comical. These are the best of the best in their fields in the world with a very limited number of positions available for it. Thats like saying some common dudes dad getting him a job as a brain surgeon when hes only qualified skill is to be a nurse.

He has to go to the NBA… He’s not good enough for college! 😂

“ima keep it a fortnite vbuck with you”…matt?…wtf was that

Nobody cries nepotism when NBA and college COACHES hire their kids.

I don’t care about him going to draft. I honestly hope it works out for him. I’m just tired of hearing about it 🤷🏽‍♂️

I worked at the same company my dad works at just different departments even though I put his name down as a reference I was trained to work hard and show up everyday.

Bottom line the NBA wants him in . TV ratings come First

Huh?!! Apple and oranges. I get the hookup for a job, I’m literally just trying to avoid recessions and survive. Brony gets drafted, he’s taking someone else’s life changing contract that could change his whole bloodline. 🥴 I stopped taking your take on basketball seriously when you said a high schooler is better than Wemby because of his debut. 😂 Now he out here literally breaking records year 1. 💀 #Mattbedelulu #OGsAintForget🤣

*you are just outright cap* How are we Bronny "HATERS" because we don't agree with you? He made the McDonald's All American team averaging 14 ppg!!! Miami Heat's Tyler Herro averaged 33 ppg as a more highly ranked college recruit than Bronny ever was....and did not make the McDonald's team. Now? You sit there and tell me he is "3 AND D" when he average 26 % from 3 point range at USC? And he "gives it all he has" on defense? And he "never acts cocky"? So WHAT? Those aren't reasons to be drafted.

Stop calling it “hate”. People have the right to not be as high on Bronny as you are. It ain’t hate, just a different perspective.

Matt McClung has all the tallent and everything and probably will never see NBA court and its because hes to short ,not their type of athlete

He knows he’s getting drafted that’s why he declared

6’1 210 and can jump high?? Lol he’s playing the wrong sport. Bronny would be so nice at safety

Matt I usually agree with you however you are 100% wrong! How in the hell does his game translate to the nba? He shoots poorly, he is a mediocre defense, he is not a good shooter, and he’s not overly athletic! WTH are you even talking about? What about his game translates well to the nba? You’re reaching for stars and getting a handful of dirt!

The NBA is easier than college

He wouldn’t have even made my high school starting 5!!

If it were today’s time, MJs son Marcus Jordan would have been on an NBA roster.

Bronny should take his talents to the Mystics :)

Bronny is garbage even compared to other freshman. He doesn’t have the it factor of his dad

If you think basketball is only about scoring… YOU DON’T KNOW BALL.🤷🏽‍♂️

Hell every whyte man in America; nepotism!!!!

Can't stop a dad from dadding...

He did great at the combine

You must be on the Clutch Sports payroll. What you said is a bunch of malarkey. There is a bunch of players who deserve that roster spot for instance Matt Mclung

If nepotism is the issue, then why aren't people crying about all of the players who have Jr. On their jersey in the NBA and NFL? Common people with no life skills got their foot in the door due to a relative but now it's a problem?

What’s higher…his gpa or his average rebounds per game?

Need that agiye hall video

The addition of Bronny James has completely changed the entire complexion of the NBA Draft.

Matt this is your worst take you ever made! Your comparisons to people using their connections to get a jobs is no where near the same thing as using his dad to get him a friggin nba roster spot! There are only 300 nba players who get nba roster spots! Only 60 hardworking kids each year get drafted! He is taking dreams away from other young men who deserve it! NBA is the elite of the elite! What you are saying some dude who barely graduated from medical school could get a job as a heart surgeon above a bunch of doctors that deserve it all bc their dad is the head of all the heart surgeon! Such a terrible not well thought out video! And you say he’s a 3 and D guy? He played mediocre defense in college, he shot terribly from the field open or not, and he is way, way, way undersized for a mediocre athlete that doesn’t do anything great! Cmon man

Matt, is this one of your sarcastic parody videos?

nobody is mad or upset because they point out the fact he's not very good and 6'1 at that

“Great prospect” - a small guard who was inefficient in college with weak handles and can’t create a shot for himself + he already had major health issues.

He's a D3 college player without his daddy.

Matt the difference is if we use our connections to get you an interview we still had to have the experience or background to be able to use our connections to have the company consider us. There are like 300 players in the nba! He doesn’t deserve to take somebody else’s spot with the best 300 players on earth!

plz make a vid on agiye hall news former 5 star wr for bama in ‘21 then got kicked off went to texas in ‘22 left didn’t play in ‘23 now he transfer to UCF

Matt make sure you make a video praising Bronny performance today in the NBA draft columbine

The guy is literally putting in work and haters like you just won't let him be

Forget nepotism. There are players drafted with his stats EVERY YEAR. Folks only talking because its LeBrons son. People have to realize 1. HE'S NOT GOING IN THE LOTTERY. 2. The nba draft is longer than the lottery. 3. Its not guaranteed he'll be drafted, he will at least go as a free agent.

You must not know of Thanasis Antetokounmpo 🤣

Lebron isnt giving him a job this isnt nepotism

Bronny's game is gonna be like "Victor Oladipo pre-injuries"

What’s up with you Matt and you’re right this has never happened and this looks bad bc they wouldn’t let other college basketball players with these kind of stats even think about entering the draft.

This is the 2017 Lonzo-Lavar situation on meth

Bro we wanna see u react to the nba playoffs!

You speaking the truth my brother. Bronny deserves to be in the draft, its life.

Do yall research on Peyton Watson for the Nuggets, bro had worse college stats than bronny & still got drafted first round🤷

Bro you gotta change the instrumental used brother

Terrible logic. Essentially, your argument boils down to, well nepotism exists elsewhere, therefore everyone needs to shut up about thus instance of nepotism. Your other point was simply an optics complaint "I do not like the way some people are responding to this situation" this is like a textbook clinic on logical fallacies

Matt the combine literally said he’s 6’1 so how are we haters for saying the truth

After what bronny did at the DC BRO HE IS GETTING DRAFTED DUDE BRO WAS 12/12 from the 3 point drill! AND HIS VERT IS 40.5 BROOO HE DEFINITELY GOT TEAMS ON HIM

lol these people do realize that 90% of people are where they are now is due to the network and connections they have. Yea continue walking in CandyLand if you really think people are only working hard for everything they got 😂 work smarter not harder

Kalen Deboer and Alabama will never be good as they were with Nick Saban or any coach at Alabama after Deboer. Not relevant to the video just got a little bit of time on my hands and thought I troll you for a second lol. Love you though Matt love your content keep it up.

Shaqs son had like the same stat line in college and what happened when he went to the nba

Crazy on the draft combine he 6’1.5 lol 😂😂😂 crazy

In sports you earn your spot nothing should be given

Ridiculous… 6’1 can’t shoot, can’t pass, his numbers were horrible last year at USC. All because Daddy is who he is.

Also, a lot of companies, organizations, and government agencies have rules against nepotism.

there is only a select amount of roster spots in the NBA that pay life changing money and kids grind there whole life for just a shot so Bronny getting a spot base off his dad and not his play is lame so you cant compare that to a normal job were someone gets in on a connection they have

Unsubscribed. This is nothing more than an infomercial for Bronny. Nevermind the factual inaccuracies (he literally was measured at 6'1 at the combine) but the stretches in logic are ridiculous.

No one with this kids numbers aren’t even close to being either drafted or signing any contract!!

Matt you have to do a video about Agiye Hall

Dwayne Wade’s son is gonna play for the Atlanta Dream so maybe Bronny can join him there?

Bust

6'4 listed, actually 6'1. I think Jalen Brunson is listed as 6'1, and there is no way he is above 5'9.

Those little 4ppg on 31% FG will definitely transition to the highest level of basketball.

The NBA does love athletes but Bronny is more about bringing in 💰 💰. He may one day be a starter, I doubt it but regardless, the team that picks him are likely to get his dad and that’s a cash cow!

Bronny needs to stay in college 100%. The fact that he declared for the draft is embarrassing. Who the hell would declare for the NBA draft after averaging 4 points, nobody would. He's only gonna get drafted because of his dad

The difference here with nepotism is that you can be trained to be good at that job. In the NBA you either got it or you don’t . The media hypes up bronny to be worthy of a draft pick based on his skills not his dad. Reality of it is bronny in any other circumstance wouldn’t even be worthy of a summer league spot yet people act like bronny is a first round pick

Zion Harmon update he just accepted offers to play at seton hall

Cause he is going to play with his dad if not labron will quit if they not on same team

The deal has been done! Who ever drafts him will be getting Lebron as well. That’s the deal!

Or the fact Lebrun said he wants to play on same team as both his sons in NBA 🤷‍♂️

Sports a full blown circus at this point

Bronny was still a 5 star recruit so if he is undrafted they will give him a chance based on that

Just listening to this take i can tell matt never watched this man play,if he didn’t help usc coming of the bench how is he gonna be a great 6-7 man in the nba

I'm just glad the doctors cleared him to play. After that incredibly scary incident where he almost died on the court, I was worried that he'd never be able to touch a basketball again because of doctors' orders. Everything else seems secondary. And after what happened to Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis, you *know* this panel of doctors wouldn't have cleared him if there was even a shadow of a doubt about him having another cardiac incident.

He was the 2nd best shooter in the combine drills last night. Those damn nepotism rims made him shoot 19/25.

You know what? What if this young man is a hidden gem? Yes, he has a health scare, but if he gets to the NBA and develops correctly…then what? If I was Bronny, I would’ve taken the chance too!!! I know two people in the NBA now and what they both told me was…if you have a chance to get in the NBA, take the opportunity when it comes available, because you may not get another chance. I think he’s gonna be just fine going to the NBA in my personal opinion.

Nepotism only bad “certain folks” do it.. i see it everyday, all day. Bron ain’t done a damn thing wrong.

You ain't make a video about bill billichek son he was hired with no previous experience

Bronny is a much more talented player than most are acknowledging. People are quick to forget he missed the off-season and almost died as well. It wasn't his fault USC fell apart. He will always be held to the standard of his dad. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was a very solid nba player in a few years.

Lebron and his 3.5 chips has always been overrated, so no surprise his son is overrated as well

No different than what Prime is doing for his kids.

Imagine people feeling like Bronny needs nepotism to make it into the league. Anyone that truly knows basketball, knows that he is a beast in the making. His Iq is unmatched.

The second he steps on the court nepotism flies out the window. If he wears an NBA jersey next year it will be because he earned it or at least he showed legitimate potential. I'm not a big fan of LeBron but I wish the kid good luck.

Some people who have never played basketball or for multiple teams don’t know the importance of being able to play in the right system. USC wasn’t the right system for Bronny! Bronny will have to be aggressive in his play. He can shoot & if he can show consistency with that alone, he will be good!

my son isn't going to be making CMO or CEO money without having the right experience.. that's the difference. I agree with your overall argument though

If anybody thinks he doesn’t have the skill set for the pro level is tweakin he just doesn’t have as much confidence as his dad

What about people who come from a struggling family who really need this opportunity getting looked over by a rich kid who’s production in college says he ain’t ready yet honesty who would draft this kid if you took James off the jersey

It's called the NEXT NEGOTIATED CONTRACT OF LEBRON! Especially if Lebron is wanting to play a season or two, maybe more with his Son???

I think Bronny would develop into a really good player especially if he can go to Miami and let them develop him.

let’s call a spade a spade here. Bronny is not an nba caliber player. He has good vision, defense, and decent spot up shooting. But if that didn’t even translate at the college level it would be foolish to think he would be anything besides a bench player/ g leaguer in this league. He realistically should have went back to school proved everybody wrong and get drafted high. Rn his career projection is David Stockton or Scottie pippen jr. Which means G league for most of his career and probably out of the league in 5-7 years. Sad stuff.

Bol Bol but he is actually decent and worth the risk 😂

How many players with these numbers are allowed to even do all this pre draft stuff? Zero

They keep showing us his athleticism like we get it he can jump 😭 that’s not the issue the issue is can he be a scorer like Brunson / Dame / Kyrie/Garland due to his height and the answer is NO

I want to know what you been smoking every basketball player is an athlete does it mean they should go to the NBA
