LeBron literally created his own teammate, that’s crazy 😂
It’s GOAT levels of play no scout could ever!!
And still losing!
@@SwaggerLikeUz and so your queen curry still losing 😂
bro literally stole a whole meme just for a comment 🤣
@@SwaggerLikeUzNot losing in life tho.
I mean of course he doesn't care, bro already financially set for life lmfao.
@JimmyT17 that's the point you're missing. he could have just lived off his father's wealth but he's actually choosing to do something difficult
@@mamster233which he didn't really earn
@@yeon723 True, but he didn't ask for it either. The brother was born into wealth, none of us has any agency if we're gonna be born into a family of wealth or not.
He's never gonna "earn" the wealth he was born into, nobody can, specially a fortune of that size.
@@brawlgammer4424 Finally… somebody with some comment sense about this entire situation. W comment. 🔥💯
bronny is rich off endorsements and playing video games know what youre talking about...@mamster233
With the 55th pick in the 2nd round, LeBron James selects Bronny James
UMMM .... HOW TO MAKE IT TO THE NBA: BRONNY JAMES - ruclips.net/video/Tf3Bhpq9JoE/видео.html
joke is overused already, can’t be losing sleep over this. idk how it hurts you that bad though.
Lmao
Even if you accept it... how can an interviewer gloss over the idea that hearing his name was emotional and a surprise? Lebron said "say his fXXkn name" and the Lakers said his name... if it was a weird surprise party for Bronny it wasn't for his dad.
@@tlxxlt4745 it's a joke, no one is hurt
I won't hate on a dad doing whatever he can to make his kids dreams a reality that alone has to be the most gratifying part of it for LeBron and his 20 year career.
This is real life...not a make a wish foundation
LOL While crushing the dreams of the REAL TALENTED HARD WORKING KIDS who dont have mommy and daddy connections.. This is a life long dream for some that should've had that draft spot and laker spot. This is a joke, and WHO EVER IS IMPRESSED or sees GOOD in this is COMPLETELY IGNORANT TO NEPOTISM 🙄
@@Indigo3.7Tough luck
Yes we agree any dad will do so but in terms of using his power and privelege on a professional stand for a dream is not the right solution. The point was it is very clear bronny made it because of his dad and the name and this is the truth that should be admitted in the eyes of any sport viewer
@Indigo3.7 he's not responsible for other kid's dreams tho...just his own
I would have asked Dave, "how's Malika doing?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro all yall talk about is bronny
UMMM .... HOW TO MAKE IT TO THE NBA: BRONNY JAMES - ruclips.net/video/Tf3Bhpq9JoE/видео.html
All you do is listen to them talk about Bronny 😂😂
Kinda funny 😂

You mean single digits 😂
He is an incredible dad!
Also Julian Newman father too!
He should be honest to his son
Troll
Also the bus driver you drove by today
You're an NPC
The fact that nobody want to come to the lakers is crazy 😂😂😂
Not rly
They really didn't last season either. I think the way Russ was done when he got to LA made some other guys say NAH im good
Been like that for a while, pre LeBron.
Makes sense
@@I.am_GrootI’m a lakers fan an it’s been like that since Lebron got there ..yall know Lebron bring bs we literally traded 15 mfs for AD
Lebron picked a low level espn analyst to do interview with. He really hates the whole stephen a crew 😂❤
Dave is his friend. He’s been around LeBron for a lot of his career. Especially recent Cavs days.
Low level?
Literally the lowest level ESPN guy 😂😂😂 imagine listening to Dave and not falling asleep
@rease..yes
@@Big_AL_Nowitzki unless your malika andrews.
I truly think these Olympics are the beginning of a farewell tour. The season after this next season will definitely be his last one.
LeBron lost all respect with most NBA fans a long time ago. Getting his son a job in the NBA and a guaranteed contract worth millions was the last straw. In America, everybody appreciates people who EARN their money. LeBron never won anything on his own. It always took superteams and role players saving him because he couldn't hit the big shots when they mattered the most.
@robbie 😂😂😂 your hilarious and pathetic at the sametime
Idk bro he might stay until his 25th season if he doesn’t face any serious injuries…Crazy to think this might be a possibility 😂
@@RobbieStacks90what super team?
@@RobbieStacks90 America also appreciated their army invading other countries and killing people. Vietnam Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan. Point is people appreciate different things. It was the last straw for you. It was the 55th pick and Bronny isn't the only second rounder to get that type of contract. It's a team spot and Lebron has definitely had some play off buzzer beaters. Get off RUclips and make history for the Stacks family.
They always say windhorst is tapped in with Bron, but I feel McMenamin is who they think windhorst is. 🧐🧐
He’s LeBron’s mouthpiece
“Because We Did It Before” 💜💛
This is how successful, famous, and rich I want to be. I want to be able to put my family/people in certain positions to prosper to the point that I have this many haters. I'm talking to the point mfers hating on me AND my son but can't do sh * t about it, but pray on our downfall. 😤
Strive for it G
He forced it why is Bron capping
Is bronny not a grown man?
@@Sam98987 Lebron is sacrificing his own child. Didn’t Bronny just have that major heart scare? All of a sudden LeLegacy wants to use him in his up coming documentary to 🧢 about being GOAT
@@itsmarksonslim4992 what?? 🤣
Ken Griffey Sr AND Jr played a couple seasons together,this isnt the 1st time in sports history this has happened
First time in basketball which is more impressive due to the physical prowess it takes to play the game from a longevity perspective
Ken Griffey was a freaking PHENOM!!! A real MLB draft pick regardless if his dad was there or not. Not a kid that barely averaged 4 pts a game in college that wasn't even the 3rd best player on his team. LeBron had the opportunity to draft his son and he did that is a great accomplishment period but I hate the way they act as if a dream came true and he deserved it and all that because that's not the truth.
Griffey was a beast, not averaging triple single. Stop acting like he put up some numbers to deserve this.
@@tytymomo6410 that's not what the interviewer said, he said the 1st time in history, not basketball history
@@mstringer10 it's not up to us who deserves what. the Lakers organization made a decision & drafted him regardless of what anyone thinks of his level of basketball ability
Bronny going to win rookie of the year. By scoring 4 points s game..
You thought you ate with that one
@@ddannyphantom I already did ..
@@ddannyphantom he did.. just like bronny made the NBA legitimateNOTly
Danny got Brons meat stuck in his mouth 🤷
And playing with a bad knee 😮
It would be crazy if the lakers win a title this year and Bronny would get a ring 😅
You must be 🚬 that good stuff. Lakers might not even make playoffs.
@@enemroylakers prob won’t even win the in season tournament 😂😂
@@km2460nah they may not be in the playoffs this next season lol
4 years play in. U dreaming
@@toveycen4668 didn’t they make the western conference finals the year before last? Aight 😅
What he should of said was. " I expected it. I told the Lakers draft my kid or I walk". Biggest joke in sports.
Think about how much power that is tho…Jordan and his boys could never😂😂😂
This man put his son in position to make millions & yall hating 😂
You really think the lakers gonna keep him once Lebron retires? Money is not the issue when his dad is a billionaire. He already was getting millions from NIL.
He signed for 3years lol idk what the lakers will do just like you don’t know 😂
Would you have respect for a little clown that has everything handed to him? Well, nobody else will. He's destroying his son.
@@cedriclloyd5571You must not know the meaning of put in position
duh... you act like humans are naturally good or something.. people are selfish, egotistical and make everything about their personal beleif system and life perspective.. lebron is bad because they say so.. bronny doesnt deserve whatever they think and feel he doesnt deserve, its that simple.. most humans are just overwhelmingly opinionated so much they are blind to their own self centeredness... they pretend like they know how things in life should go and who deserves what and who doesnt .. they are the gatekeepers of peoples happiness and dreams... you have to go through whatever they say you need to go through in order to deserve happiness.. lol its insane and they will find ways to say its not true which is actually even worse because they will live and die in infinite denial of their own self hatred and life failures projected on celebrities and people they live around that seem to be doing well enough to be happy about their life.. most people cant say the words "im absolutely happy about my life" and pass a lie detector.. thus the outburst on social platforms is the norm

LeNutsinyourmommy'smouth 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude above me is such a loser 😂
Bron in denial! Yall are nowhere close.
You're in denial tho 😂
@@Slenderirl guarantee they barely make the playoffs with the team they have now.
@@Souljourney22 They are definitely making the playoffs but getting through Denver is gonna be another story cause you know that Denver team is gonna be a menace after fumbling this year.
@@Slenderirl swept the year b4 and won 1 this year. Yeah I'd say real close.🤐🙄
@@PayAttEx yep denver did fumble it.
Bronny does not have to care. He is financially set for life. He will never have to work. You provided that LeBron. As a father I salute you for that. But let's not pretend and lie that he earned a spot in the league or the contract....
They couldn’t sign an impact player because they didn’t want to waste prime years on a side show circus act.
Y’all parents must’ve neglected y’all 😂
@billeh60 Just took my parents out to eat to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Nice try 🤡 not all of us were raised by a single mom like you. I get it though, Lebron is the only father figure you’ve ever had 🙏🏿
@@TimB_023 your parents hated you. If you grew up in a loving home you wouldn’t be so pressed about them drafting a player where he was ranked that just so happend to be brons son. There weren’t any impact players to sign cause the lakers only have Pennies to offer. Get off the internet weenie
Bron talking like Rich Paul ain’t his agent as well 😂😂
Bron said it himself, "He had no choice." His son could do anything else and he would be alrite.
His son isn't as hungry to play.
That is true, but you need to understand that even if Bronny works out 16 hours per day for years he will never become LeBron. People like LeBron born once in 100-200 years
Coming back after a heart attack at 20 which most people would be terrified to get their heart rate up and going back on the court is definitely hunger to compete.
Bronny should have gone to school and studied business. All these blk boys want to do is rap and ball when they have a million other options. Especially rich kids like Bronny.
He blackmailed the Lakers to draft his son when no one was really drafting him.
I doubt that because Bucks drafted a guy who averages 2pts as the 23rd pick but you don't know it because you pick and choose who you hate
@@Tr4cer-kj9uw not hating him, I was just stating facts that he forced them to sign his son
@@VinDKing24 forced his gonna get drafted lakers or not why do you think clutch called teams not to draft him?
Nah, the Lakers were in on it . I think They both talked to each other/ had secret meetings, watched him behind the scenes and agreed to set this up to make history.
@@VinDKing24the fact Rich Paul had to call teams after pick 40 and tell them not to draft Bronny or he's going to Australia clearly says he had other teams interested.
Does he realize Griffey Sr. and Jr played for two seasons together in 1990? It’s happened before
Not in the nba though
@@313Martin he said period. Not just the nba
@@tariansledge well get him then tip, because I didn't hear that part. You got it though
@@313Martin it just tripped me out
Good thing LeBron and bronny aren’t on a MLB team!
Isn’t that Malika Andrew’s husband??🤔
Yep, he be clapping them cheeks
The only reason she’s working for ESPN lol
Now, isn't that nepotism? 🤷
@@hittman23 without question!
Why Malika???😩
Bronny sits in summer league after a 4 point performance?!!! Knee swelling ?!!
He gonna play with Bryce too watch
Not if they keep getting stuck in the first round of the playoffs
Yes but maybe not in lakers
Not after this dumpster fire that's about to go down
Jeanie will keep giving him contracts until he’s 50 so probably
This is more about accolades for Lebron than his son.
Isnt this malika Andrew's husband/boyfriend?
He asked about taking the paycut! Boom! Dave Mcmenamin asked good q's!!
Congratulation Bronny James and the James Family!!!
First to fail also 😂
Never seen so many haters lmao. Bron is winning most definitely
Kid does not have the numbers to be in the league. LBJ took an opportunity from another kid who really deserves it.
@@KanXibChaac he was the 55th overall the second round pick I know we’ve all seen Jimmy highroller’s video. What about all the other second round 55 and up picks who did not play in the NBA who played multiple years in college, who did not end up being in the league after their first or second year, which somebody else could’ve got drafted, you make no sense if he was a first round pick, I would be a green with you but because he was a second round pick and he was in the 50s, which means he was a late second round pick and after all the math has been done about lake second round picks in literally 90% of them don’t pan out you saying he didn’t deserve it. He was a late second round pick and saying that he took an opportunity from somebody else no cause then you have to say that about every other guy got drafted that position. The draft sucked. They took the opportunity from somebody no that doesn’t make sense that’s not logical. All these people are giving an opportunity. Some people aren’t given an opportunity each rare. Let’s look at other NBA league that weren’t that good why did they get in the league? Oh, they played in college a lot they got the league because their parent wasn’t NBA player.
The Warmest Seat on the Bench Award
@@roshinvarghese6879 yup still making more money than both of us.
LeBron Fans When Bronny James succeeds: He’s only where he is because of LeBron.
LeBron fans Whenever Bronny James underperforms: He would be irrelevant without LeBron.
Only a LeBron hater would write this. 😏
Only a LeBron hater could write this. 😏
When has Bronny ever succeeded? What has he ever done that was impressive? Score 4 points in a game?
Actually those two statements go very well together and describe the situation perfectly.
Where is the full interview 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️❤️❤️🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🫡🫡🫡
Dave: you should have asked to follow up if demar really didnt want to come to the Lakers?
That interview is just incredible to watch…. That’s a proud dad right there….. This is amazing to be a witness of…
LeBron said no Stphen A interview!😂That's why Stephen A is so critical!
Shud have kept of few more of those champs from 2020 4:08
Is it really historic if you have to cheat your way in?
Check how many 2nd round picks have made actually impacts in the nba. There has been 2 all stars coming out of the second round in the past 10 years: Jalen Brunson and Nikola Jokic. So do some research…
why was it cheating?

UMMM .... HOW TO MAKE IT TO THE NBA: BRONNY JAMES - ruclips.net/video/Tf3Bhpq9JoE/видео.html
Queen james biggest diva ever
For the first time, we're in an era when many Black men in America who were multi-millionaires had kids who grew up in a privileged environment. So of course, the neoptism part exists, but it's existed for centuries with other races. It's a new era and it's something we're going to get used to in all facets of our society -- epescially when it comes to Black folks.
I personally love it --- as long as the kid doesn't destroy what the family built.
What "many" Black men are millionaires? What B.S. are you talking about? That's not reality for the overwhelming population of Black people, so stop the B.S.
UMMM .... HOW TO MAKE IT TO THE NBA: BRONNY JAMES - ruclips.net/video/Tf3Bhpq9JoE/видео.html
amen
No, people don't understand Bronny. People didn't watch Bronny back in College and High School. People will watch Bronny now and we'll see if he still won't care about haters.
Why he never say my son lol
I'm with it. FBA nepotism. So what...
exactly. FBA/ADOS/Freedman/Black American needs to be more tribaliistic
Preach
DEVELOPMENT,DEVELOPMENT,DEVELOPMENT. Bronny gone be alright. Give him some time. But aye everybody else so far in the summer league? BALLING 🏀
Lebron said he wanna see bronny grow in the summer league cuz he lost time because of the cardiac arrest but the coach benched bronny smh glad its not JJredick going against lebrons word cuz he wouldn't betray his podcastmate
YOU ARE GUANDONG TIGER BRONLEEE U DID IT LECHINA 🥳
Bronny's spot was earned not given so hes load managing already and benched that game to prevent a heart attack in back2back games
I need to see twice the hate for the Bucks 23rd pick because dude averages 2pts and everyone just talking about Bronny was bad pick for 55th pick, No one here can ever tell me the last 10 55th pick, you guys just choose who you hate because his dad is Bron your Brain automatically hate it already
Only those who love Bron care for this narrative. Those of us who DO NOT love him could careless. Wasting real Laker fans time. It's disrespectful to the purple & gold.
Such a captivating upload.
"Because we've done it before..."
...Bubble Chip 😂
Bro it counts y'all are hating. If any other team won it y'all would be saying Lakers haven't won in years blah blah blah.
Why Malika???? 4real??😩😩😩
This isn’t a proud father moment to see your kids hard work pay off and hear their name called. This was “Bronny get dressed, you’re getting picked at 55”
You tell em Bron !
LeBron for President 🇺🇸
If you’re a father and you have an opportunity to make your child’s life goal come true.. you telling me, as father you wouldn’t do it. That says a lot about you as a parent!
Being a good parent is not about giving everything to a kid without teaching them to work hard and earn what they want. This is how they learn to sustain themselves on their own when their parents are no longer around and have to face the real world on their own.
This world WON’T give you anything. So why grow a child up to believe that’s the way life is?
It says more when you “TEACH” him how to make his own dreams come true instead of “making” them come true for him. After all… how can a dream come true if you’re not the visionary?
A man “MUST” become.
@@km2460 That doesn’t apply to them! They’re wealthy. It’s not about the money for them. This is what rich people do! It happens all the time. It’s no difference from kids playing on college teams because their father bought the school a new gym. The same as when a kid plays because his dad’s the coach, knowing they kid suck.
@@Levord1980 they’re rich, life is completely different for them.
That would be robbing your child of important life lessons. Everyone hates the snobby rich kid unless it’s a black guy doing it 😂
Let Bronny speak for himself.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!!
LeTeammate is the GOAT
LeBron James getting the chance to play with Bronny is amazing 😊
Love it! Bronny can just go out and be Bronny. Best dad son duo in history
Bronny doesn't care? Well there's a problem right there.. He should care.
Why should he care what nobodies online like u have to say?
@@billeh60 he should care, it's a mass opinion, yet nobody beta males like you deny the truth
@@billeh60 Ohhh look, we have an beta male enabler, who can't see the truth. Learn the basics of how basketball works at this level, you little man. Your thoughts are worthless.
ESPN is looking lame af these days. Who tf is dude interviewing Bron? And Bron why are you sitting with him?
Not that far off, buut I doubt the Lakers are gonna get any closer while Lebron and co are there🤔👍🏾
1:34 Bron being an absolutely terrible actor bruh lmao
Lebron is totally lying about not caring. He is a kid. This generation can't go to the bathroom without posting about it on instagram. Lebron wants to protect his son but, him saying Bronny doesn't care will lead to people taking more and more shots at him. Especially if the team struggles to win games.
Why would he care what nobodies online have to say when he’s making millions and playing with his pops?
LeGM "number 55 let's take Bronny" 😂
Lord lakers whole franchise just a Hollywood movies just for ticket sales that isn’t a team no more
This is going to be so much fun to watch
UMMM .... HOW TO MAKE IT TO THE NBA: BRONNY JAMES - ruclips.net/video/Tf3Bhpq9JoE/видео.html
That "Bronny doesn't care" is because he is all set in his life,. When you had all the choices, you can be like that too
People mad at Bron for getting his son in the League, but they not mad when a Dad who's the manager at AutoZone getting his son a job at the register and stockroom - lol
This only 5 min?
This is cool, but Bronny taking up a roster spot when lakers trying to win is not so cool.
I like the way Bron Talkin.
Thought you had to have the same exact name to be a JR.
This is bring your child to work season 😂😂
If you were not his dad ….. no 6-1 point guard scoring 4 points in college is going to the league . There are dudes in the g league that are ballers that can mop the floor with him
Dave: quotes about winning, we've done it before, you should have asked him about winning another championship directly !
First time?! Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr.!!!
I wanna watch Bron play with Bryce way more than I wanna watch him play with Bronny.
There was nothing wrong with letting Bronny stay at USC for 2 or 3 more seaons to develop properly. He needs to play regularly, that's the only way to get better. Everyone knows this.
U develop faster when pros train u he is fine
Is espn going to do this kind of reporting all year??? Are we going to have to hear lebron james speaking for his son? Is he going to answer all question for bronny? May be hard for lebron to hear, but your son is 19 years old and that makes him an adult. If the young man isn't capable of answering questions from the media, perhaps a couple more years of college would have helped prepare him for the NBA and adulthood. J.J. Riddick will have his hands full this year dealing with this mess that lebron james has created for not only his team, but his son as well,
3:33 “of course”
Bronny and Bryce are different period Recognition earning it ! 😊
Congrats on drafting Street Clothes II. After 1 game already sitting out bc of swollen knee. 😆 Livin' the dream!
If everyone on the lakers stay healthy they have as good a chance as any other top team of winning the chip. We need vando,Vincent,wood to stay healthy and we need reaves hachimura and Russell to play the best of their career which they are more than capable of and lakers
Can win
Lebron knows deep down this is a play in team. So many of their wins last season were won in the last possession.
Bron just explained through his own lenses why Bronny didn’t earn it. Bron - I had to make it out for my family and everybody, I had no choice.
Also Bron - Bronny doesn’t care he has choices
No one cares about nepotism just want it more than the next
That Tory Lanez hairline is crazy
lecap back at it again
Brony has a guaranteed contract for a 55 second round pick. He's good but he didn't earn it.
As long as he accepts the feedback needed to get to the next level he should be fine.
The ones that are hating wish they had the power or even a son they could do this with. Stop hating on history.
Emotional draft night 😂😂😂😂💀
jj got bron cussin
"He spoke with his agent, Rich Paul" 🤣 ....Like LeBron doesn't own Klutch
