      The unnatural thing is how uncomfortable Bronny himself seems to be with the situation. As far as I know *he* has never said it is his dream to play on the same team with LeBron or even at the same time as LeBron. I don’t recall him even saying it was important to him. He has never explained why he thinks he is ready for the NBA or why a kid with all the money in the world who seems to be not particularly interested in basketball has to get into the NBA as soon as possible. It’s all been nothing but LeBron projecting his own selfish interests on his kid, the media milking it for all it’s worth and Bronny seeming to be along for the ride because he doesn’t really have any choice. It’s like watching those child beauty pageants where the kids get messed up psychologically while the parents insist they are doing it “all for them.”

To presume we would do what these stans would do if we were gifted with the same situation, ie an opportunity for a father to pave the path for his son so he could have a good time on easy street, seems to me desperate, and honestly some form of copium. No, LeBron riders, we don't all think like you, we don't have the same value system as you, and if you could not comprehend or believe it, then stop trying to. We're not jumping onboard your train, no matter how much harder you turn the gaslight on.

His penchant for overacting is meme worthy. Although, he's probably gotten better as a method actor as he's gotten older.

    Personally, I think Bronny should’ve stayed in college 1 more year. That way he can improve on his skills and get his overall health right. Seeing how this went down to get Bronny drafted to the Lakers did not feel right. Getting ranked that high, and Rich Paul telling NBA teams not to draft Bronny or he will not show up is insane. I know this was Lebron’s goal and generally I wouldn’t rag on a Father and son playing together. But the way, this all went down was not right. Not to mention, Lebron threw his teammates under the bus last season while saying Bronny could step in and play for the Lakers already.

    Comparing Ken Griffey Jr. to Bronny James is totally ludicrous. Griffey Jr. earned his right to play MLB and was a star, which is something Bronny didn't do, and never will Bronny.ever become a star. Lebron James is an egomaniac and used his power with the Lakers to get Bronny drafted over some other deserving NBA draft prospects. This was wrong and has ruined the integrity of the NBA draft for years to come.
