Bronny James?
« on: August 04, 2022, 08:58:53 PM »
So what is the deal with Bronny? 4 star senior with only two offers from NC A&T and NC Central. What am I missing?

He's probably not going to college.

He's a bit better version of Zaire Wade at this point. 4-star, but not someone who's clearly a future NBA player. His recruitment has been really odd, because some programs that call with interest are immediately told "he's not going there" but some programs that are on his list have said they aren't involved and aren't recruiting him.

He probably ends up on G League Ignite, and Lebron has said that his last NBA season will be the one when he plays with his son, but right now his son isn't a clear NBA talent, so who knows how that ends up (other than probably badly)?

YEP.

If you watch his highlights, he's not a pure scorer and he's not overly athletic.  It seems kind of funny being Lebron's kid, but he's a 6'3/6'4 guard who is nowhere near dunking in a game scenario, very much below the rim.

His best features right now are that he's a pretty good on ball defender and a good passer.  But he's not a PG and he's not nearly a good enough scorer to be an elite 2 guard.  Forget the NBA, if he wasn't Lebron's son, he wouldn't be a surefire high major player IMO.

He's almost certain to end up on an NBA roster with Lebron in 2 years, but will likely only play until Lebron retires (probably 1 year).  He's Wally to Lebron's Henry.

The Antetokounmpo family has proven that NBA teams are willing to structure rosters to make a superstar happy.  Just like Thanasis, Bronny will play sparingly, so his actual talent or readiness for the NBA won't be much of an issue.  But Lebron will get his Ken Griffey moment.

Classic selfish lebron strong arming a franchise to sign him and his son. Frankly bronny would benefit playing a few years in college/g league to bulk up and adjust to the increased speed of the game, but Lebron craves his own special moment.

agreed. Any franchise that wants LeBron is going to need to sign Bronny.

But let's not think this is a LeBron only thing. Wade had Zaire put on the Utah G-League team.

In 13 games with the Stars, Wade is second to last in points, averaging only 4.6 points per game with 1.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists to go along with it.

G league is one thing but making the proclamation that wherever I will be, Bronny will be is classic lebron.

It’s a roster spot making minimum salary. Really not that big of a deal.

If we can’t complain about athletes making ridiculous demands, what can we even complain about ?!

Maybe guys on message boards who try to act smarter than everyone else at every possible opportunity.

Sorry you have the inability to have your statements challenged without resorting to insults. I’ll make sure to dumb it down in the future.

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

But Alex and Thanasis are legit NBA types right? It’s a low cost way to keep a star happy.

Closer than bronny is - plus the bucks made a long term investment in Giannis. A franchise only gets one year of team James.

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.
