Yes, an nba player demanding a roster spot for he and his son for one year is different than the last spot on a g league roster.

It's leveraging your son into a pro position they shouldn't have and didn't earn. So basically, the history of all humanity ever. It's not like nepotism is a new phenomenon, and if some contender can spend a second round pick to stick Bronny at the end of their bench for a year of Lebron and a crack at a title in the process, isn't that a worthwhile deal?

Why is Lebron not sending his kid to college to get an education?  It would be best for him.

Because then Lebron would have to give up some control of Bronny’s future. Of course that would be best for Bronny - hopefully Lebron comes to that realization.

You are assuming that they don’t see eye to eye on his future.

Of course. And the idea that this is going to be a problem in the locker room is hilarious. The end of the bench guys in the NBA are a dime a dozen.

Without knowing them personally, I have this weird feeling that LeBron has given his kids a decent future. Call me crazy…

No, I’m assuming that no matter what the kid or his Daddy want the kid would be better off going his own way and getting out from under Daddy’s shadow.

He’s going to have a long life. This won’t harm him regardless.

Embiid
Jokic
Giannis
Curry
Durant

You'd have to be nuts to select James above any of those 5, I also think it would be very hard to place Doncic after James.

Really?

Giannis and Curry are the only 2 that have led their team to a championship. Lebron makes three.

A job…..that he was no way no how qualified for.

But you’re right — Lebron isn’t the first Dad to be a jagoff and flex his muscles for an underserving son. But (like it always has) it still sucks.

The irony here is stunning.

using nepotism to acquire Nba roster spots is brand new.

Everyone is mentioning second round picks, dime a dozen last spot on the bench etc. I’m sure Lebron will handle the situation very well when his son gets treated like one of those dime a dozen last spots on the roster. Right ?

How about in the NFL when Archie Manning made it clear Eli wouldn’t play for the Chargers organization?

Players run the NBA 🤷🏼‍♂️

Eli was the undisputed the #1 pick. Bronny is a disputed NBA level player.

He doesn’t have to work a day in his life (nor will his grandkids) and if he does it the qualification will be “LBJ’s son.” I’m sure he has no issues being in daddy’s shadow.

It’s really unfortunate the Bucks have Thenasis on the roster instead of being able to keep a guy like Mamadi Diakite. Certainly would’ve repeated if Mamadi was still on the roster.

This stuff is hilarious.

Thanasis is an nba, albeit end of the bench, level talent. Bronny is not.

And having Bronny instead of Thenasis on the Bucks wouldn’t have changed a single thing either of the last 2 seasons.

Lebron is wired much differently than Giannis. I don’t think Lebron would handle his family member being slighted in the same way as Giannis would.
