This is clear cut nepotism i.e. it's not what you know/do, but who you know/associated with no matter what their qualifications/skill set. But he only played one year of college ball and not even in a powerhouse basketball conference like the ACC or Big12. It's not like he was this teen phenom like his pops that he's good for one year in college and then bounce to the league? What was the rush? His dad is going to retire in a couple of years that was the rush whether he was ready or not and he's obviously and clearly he's not ready. That's it. End of story.
@haunfrench7180 It doesn't matter one bit coz organization's can hire whoever they want to hire regardless. I was just rebutting ESPN hosts saying that it wasn't nepotism why he got drafted. It's not a bad thing per se, but it can be an issue in the locker room if it gets swept under the rug .
Because it is nepotism lol. It goes beyond that really. He makes the lakers sign his agent as GM, his hand picked coach and now draft his son who can’t play.
What would LeBron know about what a father would do??? He never had a father. That’s why he behaves like a child trapped in a man’s body. The man blames everyone for his multitude of Finals failures, except himself. He is the embodiment of a man raised without a father, and it shows.
Jamesmurray, In a way @benben------ YES, in a lot of ways he does Run the Lakers, he gets what he want I mean in Real Life he is actually treated like a REAL--KING, The Owner Jeanne Buss Worships the ground LEBRON, walks on The General Manager of the Lakers would Jump in the LAKE if Lebron told him to, At the end of the day, ( Okay what about the Young Talented athelete that had to prove himself worthy of the N.B.A, That worked hard in College and was good Then here,s BRONNY THAT ALL HE HAD TO DO IS AVERAGE ONLY 4--POINTS IN COLLEGE WITH THE TROJANS AND EASILY BY THE SNAP OF HIS FATHER,S FINGERS LEBRON BEING A (( KING MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO GET A FREE-PASS AND RIDE JUST BECAUSE ( HE,S LEBRON JAMES AND IT,S PRETTY SAD---😞 THAT BECAUSE BRONNY JUST HAPPENED TO BE LEBRONS SON HE HE GETS IN THE N.B.A IF BRONNY WAS,NT LEBRONS SON THEIR IS NO-,WAY HE WOULD BE PLAYING IN THE N.B.A.
Just seriously think, if this was not LeBron's son, there would be no discusson of him being drafted this early !!! Who else gets drafted out of college ave. 4.O pts a game 😮😮😮 I wish Bronny the best , because of his heart condition he had last July !!! His health is more important than the NBA ❤❤❤❤ He will be the most scrutinized player in the league ,because being LeBron' s son. Now that is a lot of pressure on Brony ,LeBron & the Lakers , this comming season no doubt .
It’s funny how Ryan Clark completely changed his tone and mood about Bronny being drafted😂. Last week he was saying If Im Lebron I would tell the Lakers to jot draft my son so he can pave his own way in the league. He’s a clown for that since he now acting excited and happy.
only blind fans wont see it as nepotisim.... the same blind fans saying the 55th pick has no bearing so its ok to have a father duo tandem... i am a fan for a father duo tandem, if only for enjoyment... dont tell me lakers drafted bronny to help them win a chip.. remind everyone some borderline 50+ pick did have great names, the likes of manu ginobili and paul millsap...
Some ppl on the comments act llke they never got the adult child a job. Or worked a job were multiple family members worked and move up the latter faster than ppl who been on a job for years.
Just a quick question 🙋 what makes you think 🤔 that the Celtics were not thinking about Bronny James or his trade value for another year to pick someone else would be able to make the Celtics a better team next year
I'm a lebron fan and it's clear to me now that lebron don't care about winning rings anymore he just wanted to get his friend JJ a coaching job his son drafting to his team and lebron's last max contract was his focus not winning I feel for us fans of the Lakers shameful
I hope he does well, he seems like a good kid! He 100% got drafted because of who he is and not what he can do though. He won’t even be in the league after his dad retires
They were fine with him going anywhere else IF they offered him a two year deal. Only the lakers were gonna guarantee that so it is what it is. If any other GM had any balls they’d of drafted Bronny and then make the lakers trade for him
It is nepotism where Brony only played less than a year scoring 4 points after having a heart situation. Other players with more play should be drafted.
It shows you if you work hard take performance enhancing drugs and manipulates the Front office mislead the public saying that you want Bronny to make his own way in the league
Love all of the hate, when things like this happen involving a person they don't root for. The same crowd, that seems to get it, with numerous cases around sports, with coaches hiring their sons, or brothers. When people talk about the lack of diversity in hiring, you hear them immediately. "They can hire who they want. It's their team" Now all of a sudden, they're passionate against nepotism or favoritism. Hilarious.
This is corruption!
How? People use some words very loosely
Corruption y’all are silly
Klutch sports got the league in a choke hold. Haters i see you crying about it. Too bad brons empire runs the league.
If bron runs the league he should have got the Lakers out the first round.
Facts dude LeBron sucks clown
@@loststoryproductions😂😂😂😂😂 big Factz
klutch sports got the league by the trachea in a chockehold and a sleeper
@loststoryproductions, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🧹 🧹 🧹
Typical Windhorst. He'll say anything to bow down to the James'
Typical Hater. How is he bowing down when he's saying what everybody else is 😂😂😂
Go cry and play with grass
James family was watching w the hat in they hand like yall better draft my son
U get a call before they actually announce it 😂
Facts😂
I’m not a Lebron Fan but damn it stop hating who cares the kids it’s drafted by the Lakers because of his dad

Why does it matter that much?

LBJ wouldn’t take less money to get another star it’d be insane. Christ dudes damn near a billionaire. You need rings
Bronny only in NBA because of his DAD. Period.
So we all kno dat …
It is what it is...He did what a dad was supposed to do...
Yeah a good dad is sitting ur son up for failure, there's a reason why Jordan didn't flex his power like Lebron does
@@JC91284always one…just stop
What would LeBron know about what a father would do??? He never had a father. That’s why he behaves like a child trapped in a man’s body. The man blames everyone for his multitude of Finals failures, except himself. He is the embodiment of a man raised without a father, and it shows.
But he didn't urnit his daddy got him in
So they are basiclly saying that lebron own th3 lakers.

Just seriously think, if this was not LeBron's son, there would be no discusson of him being

Who else gets drafted out of college ave. 4.O pts a game 😮😮😮
I wish Bronny the best ,
because of his heart condition he had last July !!! His health is more important than the
NBA ❤❤❤❤
He will be the most scrutinized player in the league ,because being
LeBron' s son.
Now that is a lot of pressure on Brony ,LeBron & the Lakers , this comming season no doubt .
Its 100% LeBrons decision and motives he trades plYers betrays his teamates and then abandons ship on his teams now LeBron is even drafting players
if his name was not related to lebron james is he in the NBA?
He averaged 3.8 and he’s the one, give me a break.
Nobody cares if it's nepotism.... Nepotism has helped others achieve greatness all throughout our country's history...
It’s funny how Ryan Clark completely changed his tone and mood about Bronny being drafted😂. Last week he was saying If Im Lebron I would tell the Lakers to jot draft my son so he can pave his own way in the league. He’s a clown for that since he now acting excited and happy.
Whoaaaa the new Griffey?!?! But both of them could play and “The Kid” was arguably the greatest talent ever lol.
only blind fans wont see it as nepotisim....
the same blind fans saying the 55th pick has no bearing so its ok to have a father duo tandem...
i am a fan for a father duo tandem, if only for enjoyment...
dont tell me lakers drafted bronny to help them win a chip..

Won we don’t give a damn about what you do and don’t wanna hear. Those kids of owners showed promise in their field this kid sucked period!
My only problem with the Lakers drafting bronny is didn't earn his way and this is nepotism period
I hope he does well, he seems like a good kid! He 100% got drafted because of who he is and not what he can do though. He won’t even be in the league after his dad retires
They were fine with him going anywhere else IF they offered him a two year deal. Only the lakers were gonna guarantee that so it is what it is. If any other GM had any balls they’d of drafted Bronny and then make the lakers trade for him
My god what grown man always other men and women for that matter to call him “Wendy” anywhere lol let alone on TV. That embarrassing af
It was all orchestrated that's why he wasn't excited. This is his father 's wish,bronny is going to sit the bench.
Bronny acts like he didn't know he will be drafted by the lakers.🤣
If he fails to be a good player. Is. Sad for him unless it's money chase
Oh please how in the hhell did Eli manning make pro football people the name is the game he can warm
the bench like gannis brother
That is one of the stupidest text I’ve ever seen in my life, of course it is!
Mac McClung would destroy Bronny and can’t get a chance to
2nd round player mostly trash or cut anyway why do y'all care
stopped this clip 5 mins in. its all bs besides what woj was saying
You think they didn't have any lakers hats laying around bro,
Bucks entire bench is giannis cousins and brothers bro wtf
now they both will retire at the same time lol
But he can't play hes not yhat good
Leblon and the Flakers are done
This a great day to be a lakers fan!! 😂
No it not it became a clown show 🤦🤦
It is nepotism where Brony only played less than a year scoring 4 points after having a heart situation. Other players with more play should be drafted.
Life ain’t never been fair 😂😂😂
Celtics should have picked him the pick before, then held him for ransom. Why couldn't someone (team) just made it Interesting!
Who cares? It's a great thing for the nba. Tell me in 5 years how many of these 2nd rd picks will still be in the nba.
It shows you if you work hard take performance enhancing drugs and manipulates the Front office mislead the public saying that you want Bronny to make his own way in the league
its alright
Time will tell
Shaking my head 🤦🏾♂️
It’s just not natural progression. It’s forced. If anybody else would have had them stats they wouldn’t be considered.
This is NOT nepotism.... Lebron does NOT OWN the Lakers. Blame the Lakers its their team
Love all of the hate, when things like this happen involving a person they don't root for. The same crowd, that seems to get it, with numerous cases around sports, with coaches hiring their sons, or brothers.

Give him a chance before you trash him. Kid might blossom into a good player.
Let's be real ! His father was behind all this but if it goes the right way......he'll have the last Laugh
I give LeBron credit for being a great father. All parents want what is best for there children so let’s wish them the best👏🙏
Winning cures everything..... so win!!!
He wasn't even happy because he knew it was fake as hell when LBgirl is done. Bronny will be out as well 😂😂😂😂😂😂
