Default When daddy says: "He could play for us right now. Easy. Easy."

Well..........

According to TeamRankings.com the Pac-12 is the 7th best conference in the NCAA. Since daddy made those comments Bronny has had to play 2 middle of the pack teams in that conference... safe to say the players on those teams took exception to those words.

These are the game logs for Bronny James against Washington State and Colorado:

Oh daddy :


Not sure if you're all old enough to remember the 1992 Dream Team from the Olympics. Well that team was the greatest basketball team ever assembled. Magic, Bird, Ewing, Barkley, Robinson, Malone etc... it also had 2 others...Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. The Dream team played Croatia ...Jordan and Pippen took it upon themselves to shut down Toni Kukoc. As Jordan said: “So we were not playing against Toni Kukoc. We were playing against Jerry Krause in a Croatian uniform.” Kukoc was 2-11 in that game. 4 points and 7 turnovers.

Daddies comments about Bronny being able to easily play for the Lakers turned the players from Washington State and Colorado into Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen in 1992 Dream Team players vs Toni Kukoc LOL

Thanks Dad!!!

Oh.... who is next for USC you might ask??

@ #8 Arizona Wildcats.

Thanks Dad!!!

I’ve been telling people since the beginning, daddy is gonna psychologically traumatize Bronny.

He needs to step back and let him grow on his own.

The comment was an embarrassment and just goes to show what a trash teammate he is. The end of the Lakers bench would put his kid to shame out there. Can’t imagine what they were thinking when he said that.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo & Udonis Haslem would put him to shame.

Why even be serious about this? Everybody living today with kids will always think their kids are just simply the best. In general.

People in general need to lighten up.

Because LeBron was serious about it?

Take the James name out of the equation and he might be at a mid-major

Maybe LeBron's Lakers teammates were a little insulted but they probably won't say anything to him.

They know he played a big part in getting them that extra $500K.

You lack a pair if less than $250k after taxes buys your silence.

C'mon. Hopefully some of these guys know how to shelter their money better than that! They should ask LeBron how to do it!

Besides, they probably know if they speak against the King, they're likely to be cut or traded next year. LeBron's teammates have rarely spoken out against him over his career, especially while playing with him.

It worked for that Ball doofus, hype your loser kids to no end and someone will be stupid enough to believe it.

I found Lavar annoying, but Lonzo and LaMelo are decent players (when healthy) and LiAngelo wasn't good enough to make it so he hasn't.

If you re-did their drafts, I think both would still be top 5 picks (maybe top 10 in Lonzo's case).

Rooting so hard for Bronny, but outside of elite quickness there isn't really much in his game that translates to winning basketball. If he can improve as a shooter a bit he could top out as a Jalen Suggs type or Cole Anthony. But that will take a drastic improvement.

He might be able to play on a decent European team or in China.

Outside of his namesake there really is no reason for him to have NBA projections. Not even as a Summer League invite.

Yes, I really believe Lebron thinks this way. It’s been consistent throughout his career, starting with LeDecision.

So, he suffered a cardiac arrest over the summer due to a heart defect and now he's already back at it again? How is any of this going to be good for him? The intensity of the game ... the pressure from the fans, media, and of course, the crazy pressure of trying to be like his daddy ... I don't know, man ...

The doctors cleared him, but you aren't okay with it.

Can you give us your professional opinion on his health please.

LeBron has never been a good evaluator of basketball talent, so it makes sense he thinks his bum kid is good enough to play in the NBA.

All the credit in the world to him for coming back from what happened. But I feel the negative attention would be 1000x if he didn’t have that to fall back on right now.

Not a health issue now.

Missing a few months of action, much less at the start of someone's freshman at a decent basketball program, is enough to derail the player's season.

Not a Bronny fan, but struggling to get rhythm and find confidence after missing the first few months of your freshman season is perfectly normal even for a solid prospect.

it is a bad 3 game stretch - he will still be a 2nd round pick

he also joined the starting lineup Saturday night so he is obviously going to get fewer shots
