A son taking over his father's bbq spot is not a problem. Children of athletes becoming athletes should be expected. Bert Kreischer taking over a pharmaceutical because his dad passed it to him, THAT'S the problem.

That's a no. It doesn't depend.I dont agree its bad, all around, full stop. It depends on the situation.
Yes but that example of nepotism doesn’t represent all nepotism. You just said it. It has to be limited. Like allow some, but not all. Or, for short, “Depends..”Wow @ the question
That's a no. It doesn't depend.
If you want to see plenty of Black nepotism, look no further than African countries. Advocating for it shows how unaware you are about its role in encouraging corruption and promoting incompetence.
We can't avoid nepotism, because people get access to opportunities through relationships. We should always strive to limit its extent.
What's happening with Bronny feels exactly how it works in African countries. Pops/mom is a high ranking government official, and before you know it, the entire family leads various groups under pops/mom's watch.Yes but that example of nepotism doesn’t represent all nepotism.

Maybe. If it is, he’s gonna fizzle out and it all going to become a big joke and ANOTHER reason why Lebron isn’t the goat. I don’t believe the NBA is going to carry Bronny through a whole career.What's happening with Bronny feels exactly how it works in African countries.

The league has had a lot of kids whose parents were pro ballers. There's no doubt in my mind that strings were pulled at one point or another to get coaches/scouts to assess them, but that's usually as far as parents would go to flex their access. The kids didn't ride their parents' coattails to make it to the league; they had the numbers. With Bronny, it feels different.

Bryce coming up the pipeline soon too. Business is all about maximizing profits. LeBron is an icon along the lines of Magic and Jordan. Bron is the next in line. Whether Bronny is successful or not, Bryce will probably be a first round pick in the next 2-3 years. He’s going to be drafted as well
I don’t know about Bron being an ICON champ……particularly along the lines of Magic let alone Jordan.
Actually let’s just clarify right now…..he’s nowhere near an ICON by definition like or close to Jordan. Not a chance in hell.
it’s a late 2nd rounder so it really doesn’t matter, Bomani really having his takes for attention…but it def is always funny to see when we wanna do what white folks do…it be the most random ****Bomani is saying, if nepotism is bad then it is bad. It doesn't matter if we are doing it or the white man.
My man compared it to black folks celebrating OJ getting off. Sure black power or whatever but what are we really celebrating here?
He is simply asking for consistency because a minority acting in the same manner as their oppressors doesn't automatically make the act fine.
But yea, I agree with all he has said on the topic.
Bro. MJ is my GOAT. I’ve never been a huge Lebron fan in the least bit. But ummm… LeBron definitely is an icon. He’ll be a team owner within 3-5 years after he retires. Maybe earlier.
Dude definitely is a sports icon
Bron not an icon? His name alone rings bells worldwide

deuce king
You at least have to give Bronze credit for keeping the family strong and black man. Unlike MJ, he didn't run off to the white women after his marriage failed.
LeBron James played a quarter century of basketball at the highest level. 24 years of very good to excellent individual contribution to the sport. The man is almost 40 years old, and there isn't an NBA team that would say "no" to him if he wanted to join them.First off finessence said “Bron is an icon along the lines of Magic or Jordan”. I’m here to tell both of yall that he’s NOWHERE near Jordan as far as icon status. Even other NBA players have said such.

He's up there with the all-time greats.
