It'll be very interesting to see how far the hype takes Bronny's card prices

This year's class has been pretty weak so far, so between Stephon Castle, Jared McCain, and Bronny as the top three, I could easily see Bronny cards being some sort of short term hype flip play assuming they're not crazy expensive from the jump

What is Bronny top 3 in?

jcardstore · 12-13-2024, 05:45 AM

For sure top 3 worst players to ever step on an NBA court.

Popularity/rookies that people talk about

Twitter, youtube, reddit, etc

Look no further than the comments section of the video that ninjacookies posted above or the various twitter threads that link to it

There is pretty clearly a segment of the population that is waiting with bated breath to see if bronny can live up to the name and there's an opportunity there

Compare that with the other rookies of this class which other than the few ROTY candidates I mentioned basically nobody is talking about

Which means there are a couple sleepers.

That's true, the field is wide open right now

Bronny has 10x the media interest of the entire 2024 class combined. Definitely the most polarizing prospect in years. He's a known commodity amongst even non NBA casuals just because of his father.

A 20 point NBA performance could see a stupid overnight spike, though I give the chances of that happening nearly 0. The disparity in talent between the g league and nba is the same that exists between varsity hs and d1 ball.

I remember when everything wrong was Tobias Harris' fault lol

Embiid should just join Kawhi and retire already.

Out another year with a fractured eyelash is the early prognosis. He, Klaw and Zion need to be extradited to North Korea for extensive research testing at this point.

Even AD's somewhat figured out the injury thing.

ninjacookies · 12-13-2024, 11:13 PM

Phoenix losing to Utah would be the most Phoenix thing ever.

So glad the Pacers are on the other end of the awful stick, for a night at least.

Every man in here should aspire to find a wife who will defend his honor no matter what he does the way that Philly fans defend Joel Embiid.

Give Maxey and PG a year to get it together as leaders.

Is it finally going to click for PG in his 16th NBA season?

And if it does, will he be able to improve from his 41% shooting?

rhigh2390 · 12-14-2024, 05:00 PM

Warriors acquire Dennis Schroder and a 2nd from Nets for De'Anthony Melton and 3 2nds.

Nice pickup and low-risk move for GS. He's having a good year in Brooklyn.

tjforce · 12-14-2024, 07:06 PM

Giannis and the Bucks knocking the Hawnks out in the Semi-Finals

Monster performance by Giannis on both sides of the ball.

boxbuster7 · 12-14-2024, 07:11 PM

Hawks have a solid team - would not be surprised to see them make a playoff run especially if they can add one more big man - they seem a bit undersized

ninjacookies · 12-14-2024, 07:12 PM

Papi Chulo's 35 point performance cucked by his compadres.

Nice to see NoRizz get in some light cardio. 2 points with zero peripherals in 17 minutes is actually somewhat impressive.

Fantastic trade for the Warriors!

If only Clint and NoRizz looked like actual NBA players...

Good on the Bunks for squaring up the season series.
