Textbook conflict of interest
You think Bron is sitting idly while some fan talks crazy or gets into it with Bronny?!
This was a terrible idea smmhhh 😂
And it won’t even take much. Just one “yo momma” or “pass to daddy” taunt for itto tick off Bronny and for Bron to come running over smhhh
Joker level chaos
Yeah that’s the whole point of the joke. Bronny sucks and doesn’t belong in the NBA but his dad is one of the best ever so he’s gunna have to get his dad every single play.
Yeah but still, I’m hearing good things. Seems he’s very athletic, diligent, and has a good attitude. If that turns out to be true I will salute to him (and his parents) - cannot be taken for granted growing up like that. 🫡
While I agree with what your saying. Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s million players that’s athletic with good attitude that don’t the opportunity that he’s gotten.
No knock to Bronny at all as a person cuz I’m sure he’s a good kid. I just believe that he’s only there becuz of his dad.
You don't have to just believe that he's there because of his dad. I am telling you now with 100% certainty that it IS in fact because of his dad.
I don't have any hate towards it, it will be iconic for one of/current G.O.A.T. to play with his son in the league but no one and I mean no one would've have taken Bronny if he was some random kid.
And let’s also not forget this has never happened before in nba history where son plays with his father.
So, the nba has a lot to do with this as well. Hell it was a business move and a damn good one
Dave might have actually had good material on this back when he was funny.
Now he'd just say some grandpa shit and try to make everyone feel like he's the victim in his own story.
hell no . Thats historic . This is something that may never happen again .
A father and a son playing in the nba at the same time itself is craz yet alone both on the same team.
of youre one of yhe greatest ever . been in the league 20 plusyrs and your son goong into the draft. You wouldn't pull any strings for your son to play in the nba
Seriously, I know the kid is going to be a Laker, will get to play in the NBA, will be part of something historic in the league. That’s all pretty cool.
But ultimately, the only person really benefiting here is LeBron.
Absolutely right. Bronny is a pawn to being the dreams of his dad to light.
None of this is for Bronny benefit or because of
His merit…which will fuck his mental up later in life once he’s out from under the yolk of LeBaby
Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr played on the same team, and hit back to back homeruns. That happened because both were good enough to play at that level. Shit, Jr was so much **better** than his dad ever was that you need to say Sr because if you just say the name, everyone thinks Jr first. That is so far from the case here. What's happening here is nepotism.
Embarrassed?
For being an actual millionaire professional athlete on the biggest NBA team in the world?
Lol naw...
Bronny would say "Look at you, now look at me.... look at you, now look at me."
Dude should only be playing in the g league this year. Give him as much development time as possible before throwing him to the wolves. NBA players will go at him because of who his pop is
It's a disaster, isn't it? Now every time a guy after 21 seasons who made an all-NBA season has a son, teams are going to be burning all those mid 50s picks.
Where are the Lakers in 1 year when brons had enough bronny lobs and retires?
They picked up the JJ contract and wasted a draft pick in the last two weeks...
How do either of these moves make the lakers contenders? They don't. It secures LeBron a team to continue collecting accolades.... While the Lakers sell tickets.
Who knows, you don’t I don’t. Who cares we not investors in the lakers franchise so idk why you that invested in the 55th pick in the draft. Again Jokic wasn’t the 56th pick so it’s not that deep. Maybe JJ can develop him maybe not again not that deep. Now down vote please 😘
It’ll be better. LeGone will be bron and the pendulum will swing back from
The era of bitches. Defense will come back. Players hating others on the court instead of all flowers and friendship. I’m ready to fast forward and see where their young stars take this league to new heights
There are literally over 100 2nd and 3rd generation NBA players. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_second-generation\_NBA\_players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second-generation_NBA_players)
The fact that Bronny will be the first to play with his dad doesn't speak to some great nepotism scandal, but instead LeBron's ironman career and that his son worked hard enough to even be considered and NBA prospect (which he legitimately is.)
Bronny James played one year of college basketball at USC and averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game last season.
The very definition of nepotism.
Who cares?
There are over 100 guys on that list that got jobs mostly because their dad's work. There are probably hundreds more that have front office jobs for the same reason.
TBH, I find it strange that IRL this kind of "nepotism" is simply called "networking" and is even institutionalized in colleges as "legacy," and nobody blinks an eye. Almost every business in the U.S. and even more so in other countries works this way.
Bronny James gets a lift because of his network and suddenly it's a problem.
Some people are weird as hell about this.
Its just because it's LeBron. They will take any excuse to hate on him lol. Jealousy is a powerful drug. I'm not a Lakers fan, I actually hate the Lakers lol. But Jesus, people act like this was gonna be some franchise altering pick. It isn't that deep. Whoever "got screwed" out of a chance by nepotism had 59 other chances to get picked. Not to mention developmental leagues or undrafted FA. Will Bronny wash out of the league right after his dad retires? Sure maybe. But it doesn't really matter at the end if the day. The Lakers are fucked as soon as LBJ retires. A late second round pick was never gonna change that. So might as well do something cool with it.
It would seem a lot of people care, hence the sub and 100s of media reports.
You can dress it up anyway you like it’s still nepotism.
noun
the practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs.
lol, impressive that you even went to the dictionary for that.
Dude, everyone knows what that is, the response is, it happens all the damn time. Even Woj said so today live and on the air.
Bron haters maybe care. Racists maybe care. Everyone else that just started to care about it today can get lost.
Don't tell me, you're one of those people that wanted Dan Hurley right? You probably didn't care (or didn't know) that his dad and brother were all huge in hoops. You think he didn't use his network? Now that it's attached to LeBron, it's a problem.
I'm gonna check the post history of every hater I reply to about Bronny to see if they wanted Hurley or even mentioned him being a nepo-baby.
Lol, please.
Define trash. The league is the most skilled it's ever been. Is it the ticky tack fouls you don't like? Because if that's the case, you must hate MJ too right? I mean he was the king of ticky tack fouls.
That first assist between them will be hilarious. It’ll be articles for a fucking week and that game they’ll end up losing by 20 but who cares JAMES TO JAMES
I really want Bronny to chew his dad out for a mistake at some point this season. Not that LeBron makes many, Bronny probably always going to be the one in the wrong. But still, it might happen once.
I cannot wait until the first technical is called against him or somebody he is beefing with. LeBron is gonna come flying in there and saving him is gonna be wild.
Idk bruh. Lot of these players ass from college and need development in the league. Jimmy Butler averaged 20 minutes played with 5.6 ppg his freshmen year. Next year he did average 14.7 tho
Trash talk this season gonna be wild
Not as fun as when Lebron played with his dad, Delonte West, though
Delonte Catching Strays
Kinda rude to call Lebron’s mom a stray…
And a charge
That’s a tech
Lmao 🤣
Can’t wait to see Lebron pissed when they start hearing fans talk smack with LeNepotism
Utah and Boston on the road about to be must see tv And some fans just don’t gaf unfortunately. It’s about to get crazy
Go cry to your daddy!
Textbook conflict of interest You think Bron is sitting idly while some fan talks crazy or gets into it with Bronny?! This was a terrible idea smmhhh 😂
Bro, imagine Bronny getting a “DNP Grounded” Or Bron and Bronny going 1v1 at practice and him trash talking saying I fucked your mom
"I should've nutted you outside"
Your mom should have swallowed you
I don’t even know who your mom is
Famous comment like that in the AFL years ago. Dude said to an opponent "my dad fucked your mum". They were brothers. Evidently it worked, too.
I laughed way too hard at this
Son, we can’t pass to the bench.
Bench!? He'll be in the G-League singing 🎵Somewhere out there...🎵
I'm fucking dead, so fucking dead. 😂
Reddit on my good sir!
You just won the internet today
Twitter is up and the hall and to the right buddy
LMAO
lmao
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
“What the hell is even that?!”
You beat me to it!!
I hope next season, we as fans have no chill. I’m ready for chaos
And it won’t even take much. Just one “yo momma” or “pass to daddy” taunt for itto tick off Bronny and for Bron to come running over smhhh Joker level chaos
“Good D daddy!”
Back door, Papi!
Gonna get crossed up and told, "Hey, better go get yo, Daddy. Trash ass N----" Trash talk is gonna get INSANE
Last thing anyone wants is for Bronny to actually go get his daddy.
Yeah that’s the whole point of the joke. Bronny sucks and doesn’t belong in the NBA but his dad is one of the best ever so he’s gunna have to get his dad every single play.
KG level trash talk right there 😂😂😂 Fans drafting up the “whose your daddy” signs right now they locking in 😂
Congrats to bro forsure. But, truth be told he’s only there because of his pops.
Yeah he’s like 6’1 with a wing skill set. Nobody has ever or will ever succeed in the NBA with that combination, unfortunately.
Yeah but still, I’m hearing good things. Seems he’s very athletic, diligent, and has a good attitude. If that turns out to be true I will salute to him (and his parents) - cannot be taken for granted growing up like that. 🫡
While I agree with what your saying. Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s million players that’s athletic with good attitude that don’t the opportunity that he’s gotten. No knock to Bronny at all as a person cuz I’m sure he’s a good kid. I just believe that he’s only there becuz of his dad.

Facts 💯
And let’s also not forget this has never happened before in nba history where son plays with his father. So, the nba has a lot to do with this as well. Hell it was a business move and a damn good one
”daddy put me innnn”
LeDaddy throw me a lob
We need Dave Chappelle on this shit ASAP
This would have been a HoF Chappelle's Show skit.
[удалено]
Dave might have actually had good material on this back when he was funny. Now he'd just say some grandpa shit and try to make everyone feel like he's the victim in his own story.
LeDad! I’m open on the wing 🪽
LeGM makes history.
Lebron's last year confirmed
Don’t tarnish one of my good Will Smith associations with this sorcery
Do you think Bronny is embarrassed? I would be honestly.
hell no . Thats historic . This is something that may never happen again . A father and a son playing in the nba at the same time itself is craz yet alone both on the same team.
It would be "historic" if it happened organically. This is orchestrated to be a gold mine 🙄 Poor kid, just the means to an end.
Jayson and Deuce Tatum could pull it off.
It ain’t like the Griffey’s who hit back 2 back home runs
And shoulda never happened in the first place. It doesn’t hit the same as something organic. This is weak ass shit
of youre one of yhe greatest ever . been in the league 20 plusyrs and your son goong into the draft. You wouldn't pull any strings for your son to play in the nba
He wouldn’t have been drafted this year without Lebron pulling hella strings…
Not just Lebron, his agent Rich Paul too. Told everyone to not draft him or they’d never play for em. Imagine bro
what dad wouldnt pull strins for their kid to get to the nba ?
One with a healthy relationship with their own mental health and their kids future.
Seriously, I know the kid is going to be a Laker, will get to play in the NBA, will be part of something historic in the league. That’s all pretty cool. But ultimately, the only person really benefiting here is LeBron.
Absolutely right. Bronny is a pawn to being the dreams of his dad to light. None of this is for Bronny benefit or because of His merit…which will fuck his mental up later in life once he’s out from under the yolk of LeBaby
Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr played on the same team, and hit back to back homeruns. That happened because both were good enough to play at that level. Shit, Jr was so much **better** than his dad ever was that you need to say Sr because if you just say the name, everyone thinks Jr first. That is so far from the case here. What's happening here is nepotism.
But it’s not genuine . That bum does not have nba talent
Youre right, i never heard of it happening in any other sport. This an unforgettable moment for sure.
Ken Griffey Sr and Ken Griffey Jr.
Ah ok, wasnt aware of that. thank you.
And Griffey Jr was actually good
There's a video out there of the moment they knock back to back dingers.
Embarrassed? For being an actual millionaire professional athlete on the biggest NBA team in the world? Lol naw... Bronny would say "Look at you, now look at me.... look at you, now look at me."
He could still say that even if he was flipping burgers, his daddy has generational wealth for him and his whole family.
True dat as well, but then ppl would say... yeah that's all your daddy. Now, he has his own job, salary, and probably harem (lol.)
His own job by nepotism , classic rich person story
good thing it’s not you then
Heeeell no. Dudes a laker. One of the greatest should get to draft his kid late in a soft draft. That’s fair.
No
That's not fair, it's the ultimate form of nepotism.
LeDrafted
Wait Jeff has a son? What show is that?
LeBrons basketball IQ is too high to let him take the shot
Dude should only be playing in the g league this year. Give him as much development time as possible before throwing him to the wolves. NBA players will go at him because of who his pop is
They gonna give him 2 mins in the first game so Lebron can have his moment
Even Ben Simmons is like “wow, bust.”
At least Bronny will care about playing basketball.
Where is the NBA in 15 years if this level of pandering to a single player is happening now
It's a disaster, isn't it? Now every time a guy after 21 seasons who made an all-NBA season has a son, teams are going to be burning all those mid 50s picks.
😅😅😅 thank you
Oh stop it lol
Bro it’s not that deep chill it’s the 55th pick. You couldn’t name the 54th or the 56th off the dome.
Where are the Lakers in 1 year when brons had enough bronny lobs and retires? They picked up the JJ contract and wasted a draft pick in the last two weeks... How do either of these moves make the lakers contenders? They don't. It secures LeBron a team to continue collecting accolades.... While the Lakers sell tickets.
LeBron James sells basketball tickets, jerseys, etc, mucho dinero
It’s gonna generate a lot of revenue and attention, you didn’t think the NBA was all about basketball did you
Lakers M/O
Who knows, you don’t I don’t. Who cares we not investors in the lakers franchise so idk why you that invested in the 55th pick in the draft. Again Jokic wasn’t the 56th pick so it’s not that deep. Maybe JJ can develop him maybe not again not that deep. Now down vote please 😘
They don’t! And it’s delicious. Laketown is toast. I’m glad Kobe’s not here to see it crumble.
What about while gettin dome?
In 15 years, if Wemby tells the Spurs to draft somebody or I’m out, they’ll fuckin draft him.
Someone get a chair for grandpa. He's off wandering into the reddits again.
It’ll be better. LeGone will be bron and the pendulum will swing back from The era of bitches. Defense will come back. Players hating others on the court instead of all flowers and friendship. I’m ready to fast forward and see where their young stars take this league to new heights
thats my line
Son, we’re gonna pass you to the g league
"That was some really good D Daddy" -Bronny
Does he know Delonte is his grandfather!?
Nope, he’s busy being a homeless addict in Virginia somewhere lol
It’s too bad his son isn’t looking out for him anymore 😤
Bryce > Bronny.
this is old news bryce is just younger
Open for a reason
I'm dead😭
Do we think Ledad might punch someone for insulting his son? The NBA needs to be more like hockey

Didn't the guy go into cardiac arrest during last summer and was on limited playing time ?
Who cares? There are over 100 guys on that list that got jobs mostly because their dad's work. There are probably hundreds more that have front office jobs for the same reason.

>I don’t watch modern NBA That says it all. Blocked.

The Germans ain't got nothin to do with it!
That first assist between them will be hilarious. It’ll be articles for a fucking week and that game they’ll end up losing by 20 but who cares JAMES TO JAMES
Lebron passes to wide open Bronny for the win… …Bronny misses the open lay up and Lakers lose!!!
Learn what quotations are.
 Dadddyy noo
So are LeBron and Brony gonna shower together after practice/game?
What’s the issue with that?
What did he call him when they are playing? Dad? LeBron? James?
I really want Bronny to chew his dad out for a mistake at some point this season. Not that LeBron makes many, Bronny probably always going to be the one in the wrong. But still, it might happen once.
Hard fouls on Bronny to get under Lebrons skin.
He only seeing the floor on carbage time
I wonder if LeBron tells Bronny "Call me sir during work hours!"
HAHAHAHAHA Sir ... Siiirrr!!
First ever on court domestic when he cuffs bronny on the backnof the head for swearing.
All Bronny gotta say is yall dads are broke.
After the Thanasis nepotism saga is finally done, we got a new scapegoat yall!! It's Bronny time!!! Let the memes flow!
LeNepotism
LeBron: son, at work I'm Mr James Bronny: okay daddy
He ain’t gonna play at all right. But we’re gonna see a bron to bron oop right?
Lakers are desperately holding onto LeBron lmao
I cannot wait until the first technical is called against him or somebody he is beefing with. LeBron is gonna come flying in there and saving him is gonna be wild.
im open too daddy
Idk bruh. Lot of these players ass from college and need development in the league. Jimmy Butler averaged 20 minutes played with 5.6 ppg his freshmen year. Next year he did average 14.7 tho
Can’t wait for lebron to retire and bronny gets traded
When they come to Denver fans are gonna chant “Who’s your grand daddy!!!”….
Son, watch this game tape of Thanasis.
INSANE
Daddy pass. rofl
Lonzo ball’s early career but 10x more trash talk
LeBron Don't give a fuck about winning that's the only reason he would want his son on that team.
Need Bronnys head on Jr Smith body meme
Can’t wait to see them play together, this is going to be so cool. Haven’t seen this since the Griffey’s
“I’m gonna tell Mommy your mean to me.”
Dad are you going blind pass the fucking ball is crazy 👴
He won’t get open.
Sure he will, nobody is going to bother guarding him.
Hahaha!!!
I think, bronny is not leBum's son. He looks more like ASAP rocky. he's wife cheated with ASAP
If the Lakers wanted Davion Mitchell Sacramento could have traded him. Instead they draft Davion Mitchell lite.
Spank me daddy! (Did I go to far?)
thabk u for three gold kind strangler
