The NBA Has A Bronny James Problem

For the first time in NBA history, a LATE SECOND ROUND PICK has gotten more publicity and buzz than the 1st overall pick in a draft class… Sounds insane right?

But that’s because that late second round pick this year was the son of LeBron James…

Bronny has faced the most controversy and scrutiny of any player that has ever entered the NBA.

But many people feel that the scrutiny is completely warranted… They believe his path has been paved by his father's legacy rather than his own accomplishments.

Its crazy how peoples perception only changed now when Bronny got drafted. The NBA is not and never will be about basketball. NBA is a league that is only here to generate as much money as possible and that is about it.
Even Dwight and Boogie said the NBA is 70% business and 30% basketball if not even more tilting on the side of business.

Give the boy a couple years n he will RETIRE with his dad lol 😅

Bronny Lames has a chance too become the greatest Shaqtin the Fool MVP of all time

It is very simple. If his name was Bronny Jones and not Bronny James he wouldn't even be in the G Leaague. He would be at a 3rd or 4th tier club in China. He needed to pull up his big boy pants and tell his dad NO. But instead we are about to see 3 years of humiliation for Bronny.

He's the first ever 2nd round pick to get a guaranteed contract before ever stepping on the court... That 1 FACT is all you need to know! Homie isn't NBA material!

[metal--babble]

If the Lakers didn't sign Bronny to a 4yr guaranteed contract, LeBron would have left LA to play for a contending team.

You made a lot of excuses for Bronny lol.

[bertrandronge]

The only fact they made sign a pro contract to a 20 years old that suffered an heart attack is proof of nepotism

[forwardthinker]

Underwhelming is a nice way to say trash

BRONNY WILL BE FINE SITTING ON THE BENCH IN BEING THE MOST EXPENSIVE CHEERLEADS IN THE HISTORY OF PRO SPORTS NO CAPPING😢

Bryce is gonna be what people wanted bronny to be.

A 5 season vet will absolutely dominate this bench rider till they force a timeout. I can see someone like Pat Bev playing him full court just to mess with his head.

[brodydentinger]

When you look at the statistical career of most 2nd rounders, the vast majority don’t get a single start in the NBA. The upside on a legends son, and potential downside of missing out on what would most likely be a nobody, makes taking bronny make much more sense

[jerrymalicay]

People just need to stop milking the kid

[decepticonleader]

I already see LeBron only passing to his son and thats why lots of players wont go to LA until LeBron retires which wont be for like 4 more years.

[keithharris]

This is why the NBA is a joke. It's not about talent. It's who you know.

[ChrisMartin-hlty]

Idk how to explain it but you have the perfect voice for this type of content

[Parabola_PJ]

Howd he pass the physical with that health issue? Dudes ridin dads coattails

[BenniekdaReal]

Just because of the scrutiny and the harsh attacks, I am rooting for the kids to make all the haters look stupid

[metadroid]

An getting a lot of touches as a 55th pick shows more problem
