I find David Samson's behind the scenes stories/experiences really interesting
The problem is that he has the voice of a 50 yr old lesbian.
I agree, I think David Samson isn't so bad. At first I was meh, now I fully support him doing sports news.
Yeah, I actually agree. I really like David Sampson's acumen here.
On Pat McAfee he literally says how they spread rumors about players before they leave like always for the $ and it's just a normal thing for MLB presidents. He s very very honest tho. respect
I like chicken
Lebron just keeps figuring out ways to make people despise him more.
He always wants control of everything. That’s why he has coaches fired. He has already planned out Bronny’s entire career. “Lebron wants Bronny to be his own man” yeah right. Imagine if Bronny said he didn’t want to play pro ball?
y'all are so weird
@@jdrummerddhow’s not favoring nepotism weird ? I believe you guys would call that privilege…
If Bronny actually gets drafted by an NBA team after this past season, then the NBA does not actually care about basketball, only narrative.
There’s no way the lakers don’t draft him in order to keep lebron happy
That's not gonna..."IT BETTER NOT !
Dude. This happens every day in life. Business families leave it to their kids. I worked for a company who's son works for the company and Barely shows up. Everyone knows not to touch him. The president son-in-law works there too. So does other family members.
Go Bron
But what about Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the brother of Giannis Antetokounmpo?
It sure looks like the Bucks signed Thanasis for reasons other than talent.
Peyton Watson was drafted last year by the Denver nuggets and averaged 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds for ucla last year as a freshman. Who did he know that got him drafted in the late first round?
I think David needs to mention that he was President of the Marlins more often. He only seems to be brining it up once a minute.
They should be HONEST with this kid.. NOT READY!!!!
He's got unrealistic expectations put on him just because of his name.
I dont think his dad cares..he just wants to play with him......imagine another team drafitng him just because they think they could milk the Lakers for real players in a trade forced by Lebron.
Big defensive point guard.. average jumper means hes ready for top level team..derek fishr mike conley role
Who cares. Lebron is his dad so he can get into the nba any time he wants
@@baldeagle4710 Now when this kids feelings get HURT, and it's NO guarantee he'll get into the league...
David Sampson has host please more of this
Im here because of david samson
Really? He seems terrible
@@enoughunwa you said because you don't really understand the guy. When He's talking baseball on channel he gives the UNIQUE perspective of anyone in the game. He's very witty. He gives insight like when he was general manager, Givin insider tips and stories NO general manager is ever gonna tell. I never like him at first either. But I've realized he's one of sports talking heads in the business
@islander5858 I listened to a few other clips of him talking baseball and enjoyed it. He just seemed to talk too much with the guests on. And a little rude and aggressive to chris and dj. I get that he was probably joking but it didn't seem to land like that. Idk just what I got from it
Love this love his guest host
Dude is fully, witty, charming. Dude is a stud.
Bronny is not an NBA talent. He will be buried the end of the bench
He has a chance to play for an nba team that has a lot of 4Q garbage time.
See, here’s the thing. LeBron James is going to make sure that his son if he was drafted to a team is in the starting five right away. And if the team is bad, then it’s the team’s fault and not his son
He’s not good enough for The Big3
Rich is great but david is not just commentary ( which his is amazing) but may more knowledgeable of all things business in sports
He's not ready! Averaging 5 points?Are you kidding me
Peyton Watson, a regular rotation player on the Nuggets was drafted in the first round and averaged 3 ppg at UCLA. Invalid argument
@@CoLa1994No one knows who Peyton is.....but YOU.
@@CoLa1994 Completely different situation. Peyton was 5 star recruit that joined a team that had all 5 starters returning from a final four team. He was the highest rated player in California his senior year. Bronny was a 4 star and everybody knows if he was named Smith his actual talent was 3 star at best. He had plenty of opportunities to play on very bad USC team. Peyton otoh was on a loaded team with little chances to play.
@@CoLa1994Watson and Bronny are not close as NBA prospects
Based on physical tools alone Watson has a way higher ceiling
As a stepdad, I’m getting my son drafted if I can. No cap.
The question is whether your son is qualified.
As a step dad that ain't your son . That's another man's semen 😂😂
@@ShaneISRAEL😂😂😂😂😂
@@baldeagle4710yeroooooo😅
Another reason why the NBA ratings are down 70%!
Appreciate Samson pointing out that leagues quietly orchestrate things for the sake of revenue, it’s an obvious observation but props to him for talking about it when most wouldn’t
David Samson is f'n outstanding!
Good take
I like the analogy of being "born on third."
I actually like this cat he’s lowkey a character thats knowledgeable about the sports business which we need more in this new era of sports debating
Am I the only one that thinks David Samson is the same person as Rich Eisen? His vocabulary, gestures and expressions are identical!
I feel bad for Bronny. The pressure of being Lebron's son must be unbearble at times. He knows that teams are trying to figure out how to get Lebron through him.
He’s a pawn
Don’t you think that’s lebrons fault
Half the Country doesn't even care. And NBA ratings lately are not so good.
Good thing you're still watching.
This is easy. Kid isn’t good enough for NBA. He could crush WNBA. Go girl
This is ALL LeQueen's SELFISH doing. He's going to ruin this young man
I assumed David Sampson only did appearances for Meadowlark Media, but I am incorrect.
He shot 36.6 fg%, 26.7 3PT%, 67.6 FT%, with 5 points ppg, 2.1 apg, 2.8 rpg, while coming off the bench for 5 point per game on a near last place Pac 12 squad
If Lebron wants to play with his son, he should go into semi-retirement and let his son develop his skills for another year in college. And then once Bronny is ready, join whatever team drafts him for the vet minimum. Asking his son to skip this development stage of his career solely so he can play a season with him could ruin his son's career.
Lakers have no choice but to draft Bronny. Ask Lebron.
Lebron can do a lot of damage to the lakers if they don’t draft Bronny.
They can sign him on a 2way as an unrestricted FA. Put him in the Gleague and let them share garbage time minutes agains a bottom feeder.
Can’t wait to see Bronny and the King play next year baby 😂
For a second I thought AI took over the RE show 😂
Who’s this David guy?! I luv him already. A straight shooter. Calls a spade a spade. Notice how he said bronny mediocre & the other 2 guys start hemming & hawing making all these excuses. David even says “if this weren’t Bron’s son, this wouldn’t even make the end of this show.” Lmao. Luv it! Straight facts
Also damn that’s a spicy take / conspiracy that NBA would intervene to make sure bronny ends up w lakers w bron for ratings purposes
I think it’s gonna happen but I think it’s gonna blow the team up by the all star game. Coach’s pressured to play him, players hate the kid bc they should be playing over him. The media will build this so they can tear it down
Dude is a borderline local juco player.
Peyton Watson was drafted last year by the Denver nuggets and averaged 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds for ucla last year as a freshman. Who did he know that got him drafted in the late first round? He was the 30th pick
I hat David Sampson But I agree here. NBA wants him not drafted and play with LaBron.
I prefer to tip my cap to David rather than "hat" him.
What ?
Jordan’s younger son was actually not a bad college basketball player.
If I am the Lakers, Lebron is getting paid big time already. I need my team to win. So who would Bronny beat out on the current Laker team? This is madness. The Lakers do not owe Lebron anything they paid him.
To be honest, I think it’s ridiculous. Just yesterday there was talk of him entering the transfer portal. But now he’s declaring for the draft but also able to keep his college eligibility and transfer portal status. So if he doesn’t get drafted or more realistically if he gets drafted in the second round, he can just decide to go back to college and give it another chance next year. Nobody else would be allowed to keep their college eligibility and transfer portal status if they declared for the draft.
All of them are allowed to do that 🤦🏿♂️
some of Picasso's kids *were* artists...
Draft Bronny before LA and then trade for AD straight up.
And then he declared for the draft 😅
Y’all had me till Mj was bout up 😮💨
I havent seen anything of bronny that says NBA
Did he really advocate for nepotism 💀
Watch 4:00 all that matters is revenue.
The team that thinks they are going to come in last should draft Bronny. I'm looking at you Wizards.
I think Samson is right.... make him an undrafted free agent and go from there. IDK about let the lakers sign him but the "dont waste a pick and someone sign him" lets everyone get what they want with their hands "fairly clean".
You can play forever if you don't play defense
Okc can do it
It’s fixed. He is a d1 bench player and that’s because of who his father is.
If Thanasis is good enough to be on a roster, so is Bronny.
I hope Bronny stays at USC for at least 1 more yr. Even at 4.8 ppg, he was 8th in scoring 4USC (but 3 of the 7 ahead of him scored less than 6 ppg). He played 19 mpg, which should go up. I looked at stats and he led team 4x in assists and 1x in rebounding. He avg more ppg than Kijani Wright (his ex Sierra Canyon HS teammate).
He can get drafted to the army he can get drafted to play in the NBA
Personally I don't care if he's drafted and doesn't "deserve it." The reason I don't care is that he won't be drafted in the 1st round. A team will take a chance on him, in the same way teams were willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Steph Curry's brother. They'll think being Lebron's son means that Bronny might develop into a solid piece. And then, if Bronny sucks, his career and minutes will reflect that. I really don't see much of a problem. We all need to remember that most 2nd round draft picks don't turn into anything notable.
The Wizards would draft Brony just for the buzz.
You will know if the Lakers are doing this, if they trade or cut the point guard they drafted last year. That is the sign.
The NBA gave the Ball brothers a chance...🫤🤐
They were overrated garbage and now both careers are over due to BBB shoes
@@baldeagle4710 exactly
Bronny should transfer to a school that’s going to give him the opportunity to play a lot that’s my opinion at least that way he could be talked up as at least a second round pick
Low stats, loads of other young players doing better, then gets into NBA? 100% Nepotism.
You cannot play football straight out of high school. You must be 3 years removed from your high school graduating class.
What are Bronny's FPG stats? That's Flops per game.
Oh hell no. There's no way Bronny will be drafted in the nba. No gm in there right mind would waste a draft pick. Bronny is not nba material. The league and Adam Silver will be a laughing stock if that happens.
I van see a team taking him in the 2nd round but not 1st round. How often do 2nd round picks amount to anything anyways?
Kids making a big mistake. Surprised his dad won’t talk to him. He could use another year in college, and also to stay at USC so he plays in the same system and can grow his game.
Jimmy Butler
Dude sounds like the sports version of Ben Shapiro 😂
Literally has the same voice 😂
I really don’t get the mj vs lebron debate.
Lebron has better stats across the board, more wins, brought multiple teams to the championship.
The only thing jordan has more of is championships. And that’s a team award. He lead the team so I’m not saying it’s not important, but when the only thing you have over another player is championships, then the other player is better
Who’s this guy? How did he get off of Seasme Street and when is he going to start counting? He can see the sunlight now is great
NBA players are going to take pride in shutting Bronny down. He can barely crack the starting line up in the Pack-12. Where does he get off thinking he should be drafted. 4.8 points a game. He’s a point guard the averages 2 assists a game. Nepotism isn’t a strong enough word. Delusional is more fitting.
Rich has to have a better replacement than this guy
Agree to disagree with you. Though I disagree with him a lot, I find he has an interesting “management” perspective that many executives have throughout all sports leagues
@@jackcaywood1231 I enjoy listening to David S. His MLB executive perspective and experience is very interesting and enlightening. He is quite knowledgeable about other sports, movies and current events. I know his personality can rub people the wrong way.
I like him but respect your take
@@jackcaywood1231 Regardless of his insight, he has a terrible voice for radio.
I believe Bronny is being falsely encouraged to make these decisions. His circle is not being honest with him, especially his father.
Some team is going to draft him ?! Please..we know Lakers are drafting him. They've been told they are going to do that by you know who.
Bronny is not NBA material. Not right now...
He's not even good enough to star in college. It's absurd to think he belongs in the NBA.
David Sampson knows everything about anything just ask him
Below avg
How did Jordan's kid do???
How did Curry's kid do?
Marcus Jordan averaged *15 ppg at Central Florida* and that's five times better than Bronny did this year
Daddy will use his influence to play with his son. Truth, his son isn't good... waste of a draft pick.
This guy kinda annoying
Gelo 2.0
This is all about the Sr not Bronny, Lebron said several times in the past if any of his sons made an NBA team that he would play with them at any cost.. Watch out NBA fans Utah has hella picks and Lebron never plays when here! This is going to be funny!
Lebron holding the lakers hostage
lol...now the Lakers have to draft bronny as a undrafted free agent, give up a roster spot to a kid who would not start in the ACC!?!?!? lol...badly ran franchise but hey....they did get a plastic bubble ring in disneyworld.
When is Rich coming back 😭😭😭😭
People want to dismiss the fact that NBA nepotism doesn’t exist. Look at Giannis, he is not only gets 1 brother but 2 brothers… this is why Lebron still not retire, because Bronny will never be drafted with his current stat alone without Lebron
I think Bronny doesn’t want to play with his dad. I think he wants his own path. Hence the keep the options open narrative. If he gets drafted it won’t be by the lakers. If he doesn’t he will transfer and stay in school. I think Bronny gets a long with his father but we all remember being that age. We couldn’t wait to get the hell out of the house and away from the family. 😂😂😂
Lakers will sign him
He made the right decision to enter the draft. His father is getting him drafted to the Lakers to give him opportunity to play on the second unit. If he goes to another NBA team, he will most likely be warming the bench the entire season.
Once Lebron retires his son will most likely be out from the NBA
Bronny will be a wasted pick
Complete circus. He isn't an NBA talent. Even if he did get drafted, he wont even get garbage minutes.
LeBron can unilaterally make his son an NBA player, even if he isn't one. Who on Earth would pass that up?
Who was looking forward to this? The kid dont play basketball on high level.
4/2/2 is NOT average!! Stop lying to this kid… you’re only setting him up later!!
This is the worst case of nepotism in american sports history
A large number of sports coaches got their jobs because of nepotism, and so did many broadcasters. Let's not mention team front offices, which are littered with family members in various positions.
Quit self censoring yourself, he is not a future nba player it’s ok to say it
They said the whole time that he'll be an NBA player
This Samson always came off as a little weasel, but he's been damn good filling in.
Bronny would definitely be the #1 pick if he declares for the WNBA! Start taking them testosterone now boy! Him and his daddy can run that sh!t and maybe make that league relevant!
I don’t like this mf at all
We need Rich back!
Man up and stop crying.
He's A'ight.
First time watching him but he seems up front 'bout stuff.
He’s annoying
Why? because he is spitting facts?
@@coreyhansen9711 No, because his face/voice is just annoying.
if he does get drafted, Other NBA Players will go out of their way to embarrasse Brony james just on his Father's idiotic words alone. He's gonna catch Hell every night
Bro, Bronny missed 5 months so all of the pre season camps and practices, and then he was on a team with no coach and a bunch of shot jackers lol. His skill set and intelligence will translate almost immediately he won’t be a star but he can be a vital contributor on both ends of the floor. He will start as the 15th man and have to work his way up.
😂 Don't hold your Breath waiting for him.
2nd best player lol time to get off the drugs dude
Sub par
No…USC was awful, he averaged 4.8 points a game and has a heart condition and isn’t even 20…
Lebron may get his wish but we all know this is a straight up money grab for the nba
