Its crazy how a 55th pick in the draft get more media than the entire draft. It's insane

[williammoore]

Every team rich paul called responded, “we were never going to draft him in the first place…”

[KingxDae]

Perk look like when you get that random facetime in the morning from a family member 😭😭

[iDollaSign]

“If it works out” might be top 5 press conference quotes of all time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[mlproductions]

Lmao Big Perk just rolled outta bed and turned the camera on

[jazzgordan]

Perk has a tie, shirt, jacket and his drawers on! Homie might not even brushed his teeth yet! 😂😂😂

[williamburney]

Bronny averaged 4.8 in college I don't think Rich Paul needed to tell teams not to take Bronny, the Lakers were the only team that wanted him

[michaelwinland]

This network has been using Bron’s name for ratings for decades. THEY CHOSE to open up with a segment about Bronny instead of the 30 first rounders.

[JCizzleSoCal]

Nepotism? Bronny’s stats at USC make it painfully clear that many calls were made and strings were pulled to get him drafted at 55. Like SAS said Bronny wouldn’t have gotten drafted if he wasn’t Lebron’s son

[TMZahida]

Saying "I don't wanna to hear about nepotism", yet talking about Rich Paul warning other teams not to draft Bronny is wild to me.

[danieltatum]

Lebron pulled a power move he was pretending like he was gonna opt out to scare the Lakers so they could draft Bronny to make him stay 😂

[blq.era.basketball]

Would have been funny if a team took him and said "have fun in Australia"

[boskar]

Perk was turnt up last night dawg 😂😂😂😂

[Vando.LA]

Perk either high as a kite or he had just woke up fr😂

[ticenits]

Since when did the NBA become make a wish

[tyquanrainey]

A 55th Draft Pick Gets More Coverage Than The 1st Pick. This Is Truly A First.

[thegiantpeach]

Media telling us not to call obvious nepotism, nepotism....😂

[jmon]

The fact that Stephen A said he never seen Bronny play tells you everything you need to know.

[jordanclark]

“If it walks like a duck, quack like a duck, dammit it’s not a mongoose” 😭😭😂😂bro Perk is funny asf for that
