The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League | USA VS SERBIA at Noon ET on FS1

I dont agree with that. Lebron was a phenom, despite the criticism he knew what he could do on a NBA floor. Bronny doesn't know what he does well on the floor right now. And honestly Lebron may not be the best guy to tell him at this point. He needs to talk to Pat Bev, Gary Payton II, and guys like that. Become a dawg and watch film. Its up to him

He was the most hyped teenager in arguably the entire history of professional sports, let alone basketball.

Then repeatedly came up short for the first 8 years of his career, including in spectacular fashion in 2011 after he tried to stack the deck in his favor and looked like a deer in headlights for most of the series.

The only thing that has ever mattered is the work, everything else is noise. They used to boo Steve Nash all the time. His own friends would be in the stands laughing at him

People calling you trash, who cares, get in the gym.

A not so insignificant part of making it in the league is being delusional anyway.

His father put him in this position knowing he wasn't equipped for it. Demanding he gets guaranteed money. Initially demanding that he isn't a 2-way dude.

But since it's in the name of, "BLACK Nepotism" folks pretended it was a beautiful thing.

As I said, this was all to feed the ego of Bronze.

I feel bad for the son because of the pressure. He didn't ask for any of this. I legit a watching these games with second hand embarrassment because he just isn't on that level.

Lebron has made the league billions and millions of dollars on his back for 20 years. I think it’s fine for him to flex some power every now and then

 

[pmatic]

I don't actually think Kyrie should lead anything lol

Doesn't change the fact that Bron colluded with the deep state to quell protests etc. 2020 was headed to a league wide walkout until Bron walked-in at the behest of Obama to pretty much shut it down.

When did this happen? Because the Lakers and Clippers were willing to walk out of the 2020 bubble.

Woj was nasty with the Kyrie-disrupter stuff.

Kira Lewis averaged 13 as a 17 year old in the SEC. it obviously hasn’t worked on for him but he doesn’t even get drafted if he has the same accolades. And he’s at least a PG

I just want to know what the potential. That’s all.

Good athlete w/ good defensive instincts ,has potential to be solid shooter w/ work.

He can be an Alex Caruso type

 

[ALNotSure]

Bronny gon be alright,too many people rushing to trash him because how they feel about his pops is corny.

As opposed to corny takes from Lebron lovers ignoring facts?

What other 6 foot average HS player who averaged 4 points in college off the bench with a heart condition has a guaranteed contract?

Dont worry, we will wait for the answer.

Doesn’t matter who his name is. The numbers ain’t there and so far ain’t there in the Summer league.

You do realize the NBA is tougher right lol

I don't disagree with this point but he still pit his son in a lose/lose situation that he is incapable of fighting his way out of.

Use your pull to get your son a Training camp invite. Do something a little more practical. Don't have your agent give teams ultimatums. Don't force your team to sign him to an undeserved contract.

So many more realistic ways Bronze could have approached this.

He can be an Caruso type WHERE? In the NBA?

What has he shown YOU that gives you this impression?

And again, do you remember what Caruso did on every level he played before he got his true NBA Break? College, G(D) League?

From the dude named “King J” that’s nasty work lol

I don't want any trouble. Can you expound here?

While we are all black so we are all impacted by racism to varying degrees,
there are some problems that impact upper class black people more than middle-lower class black people

but because the black people who work in media, write for television shows, work in news are generally upper class,
the problems that impact upper class black people sometimes can get a disproportionate amount of attention.


"Black Nepotism is good" is using the sympathy non-black americans may feel about racism, to disproportionately benefit upper class black americans.

The only black americans who can benefit from "black nepotism" are by definition upper class. and they are justifying this benefit by appealing to universal anti black racism.

Seems to be a much better use of that sympathy is to lobby for practices that benefit black people more broadly.
Sympathy is not unlimited and imo wasting it on something as self evidently stupid as "Black Nepotism is good actually"

is transparently cynical and self interested move by rich black people who want pass nepotistic benefits on to their kids without scrutiny or criticism.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Again, can't have an honest convo about dude. Example of the wild takes.




I chuckled

I threw out Caruso a year ago, but I think that's out the window from the jump because Caruso is a legit 6'4-6'5.

Been saying for awhile Bronny's pathway is Deuce McBride, Aaron Holiday, Davion Mitchell, Jevon Carter. But that will take a lot of work given what we've seen the last year from Bronny.

 

[JMB10215]

On the lighter side of things this is a cool story. Lebrons longevity is insane

My opinion ain’t up for debate and you ain’t gotta agree,so move along bruh

I guess you are in the charity business this morning. Being real generous with those comps.

Too small to be a shooting guard. Doesn’t have the handles to be a point guard. Mid major combo guard. To be fair though that’s the average American kids scouting report. It’s just hard to be a pro with that archetype

 

[addict4sneakers]

He can be an Alex Caruso type

Shooting can improve but he’s never shot over 32% from 3 at any level of his career. If he were 6’5” like Caruso then the defensive stuff would be a solid argument but ultimately he’s going to guard one position at this level because he’s short

 

[pmatic]

I mean, that's his (only) pathway to stay in the league. I recognize all those players were much better at 19 than what Bronny is now. Otherwise he's going to be toiling between G-League or overseas.

[JMB10215]

All these dudes is 19. **** Bronny will be 20 before the season starts. But I digress

 

[headdetective]

at you cats feelin sorry for a cat who was given a guaranteed $8M deal….as a 55th pick.

Him, his father, and klutch foolin and finessin.

Have you seen me bash any of these kids?
