    • @EDTheOneable
      @EDTheOneable Месяц назад +1

      That's is never going to happen in a million years 😂 the Knicks just don't need LeBron or his son lmao. Why would Bronny go to the NBA just to be embarrassed and be made a spectacle of? The kid isn't even close to being ready for the NBA.. No shame on him putting his name in the draft just to see how he fairs against that competition in pre draft stuff but after experiencing that level of competition he will go back to school with some more experience and hopefully have some good years in college.. Because let's be honest right now.. He's been a straight up bad college player so far at almost every level besides wide open 3s and even then it's not great.

    • @kevinsmithfan37

      You say they don't need LeBron, but if they lose in the first round after finishing 2nd I would beg to differ.
      Let's be real they wouldn't be signing bronny for bronny. They would be doing it because they are a win now team, they have 2 late first round picks and if they were to sign bronny it means they could get lebron for a massive pay cut.

    Respect for Chelsea. If she manages to flip on Dom&Wendel she wins. She was so good positioned with the girls and she was the biggest jury threat by far. She wins against laurel, kellyn, des, jenna, Sebastian and even donathan.
    Also, Alison is so so so underrated as well. If she touches f3 in that end game she more than likely wins (besides maybe with christian). And besides that, she lost control at mid merge and EVEN than managed to be one of the last standing and played really great from the bottom for some couple votes.

    this guy’s takes are awful. miami over ny? they’re the third worst clutch time offense in basketball only behind the wizards and pistons. bottom 10 offensive team overall. they’re getting gentleman swept by the knicks if they get the 7 seed. do your research buddy.

      Same team that made the Finals last year as an 8 seed and beat the Knicks in the process. Like I’m taking the Knicks in the series but damn don’t count the Heat out

      I will say that if it’s the Sixers playing the Knicks then they have 0 chance. I overall disagree with his take that any of these play-in teams will go far
