I knew it was going to be bad but holy |
Oh my. I feel sorry for the kid. Lots of players flame out but if he continues this play his will be on the biggest stage |
LeBron had his son drop out of college for this? I trust that he knows his son and his family better than anybody, but it seems like an unusual decision. |

Bronny is set for life... $8m is chump change to Lebron. They lived in a different world compare to our regular lives.
Bronny should have not chose basketball if he is worried about social media. He is also has Lebron to deal with that kind of thing. I mean Lebron probably one of the most hated athlete right now. |
So LeBron is going to spoil Bronny and give him all the money he needs when Bronny is 45 years old? He doesn’t want to help his son get a college degree and help him find his own way? |
Do you have kids? Lol
He is a billionaire. Relax they are set.
You should worry about work on Monday instead of other people's lives |
Do you have kids?
Handing a 45 year old adult child money for nothing isn’t great parenting. Bronny had a chance to get a degree from a top 25 university. |
Once again, they live in a different world than us regular folks.

There are a lot of wealthy kids, parents that are mentally shot and live horrible lives with heavy heads. Bronny seems well adjusted but we have no idea how it will effect him if he fails badly at this.
The hope, as a dad, he can become a rotational guy eventually. However as of today imho he’s not very good.
He’s athletic but isn’t fluid in his basic movements. He’s small. You look at small guys that succeed, they are great athletes with a great feel. Something that can be coached but mostly innate. Which the eye test says he doesn’t have.

Great parenting is drowning your son in a vast ocean of money so he doesn't have to work a day in his life.
Lol @ being a billionaire and making your son go to some outdated college to get some BS degree. For what? To prove a point? To build character? |

Bronny doesn’t need to really do anything given his Dad’s money. His entire life could be lived on vacation spent with the interest on Lebron’s holdings. It’s really about his enjoyment of his life. I know, if I was wealthy and was given a place in a league that I didn’t belong talent wise, I’d be self conscious enough and self aware to step away.
I def see Bronny having a falling out with his Dad over this situation |

That would be epic if Lebron and Bronnie got into a shoving match/ fist fight during a game. |

This is a weird ass page.. Who cares if bronny had a chance at a top 25 school. It doesn't matter at all for him. Degrees are far from everything, if he wants to play in the NBA and a team is willing to give it to him more power to him.. And who the hell roots for a son and father's close relationship to fall apart
I'm not a LBJ fan but this is getting weird |

The idea of father and son playing in the NBA is fantastically great and awesome only if the son was worthy of an NBA player.
If the son wasn't even ready for the G-League and his father and his super agent forcibly made him an NBA player, then it would turn the whole idea of greatness and awesomeness into ridicule and comedy.

True... you go to work Monday.... Bronny is a millionaire reading this comment |
Normally, I could careless but this affects the Lakers so I have to chime in. The Lakers could definitely use his roster spot to bring in more utility players. Just saying. I'm a big Lebron fan btw.

LBJ is being a little league Dad in this situation, just that it’s on a huge stage. Those never end well with parents pushing kids into situations that the Kids either aren’t prepared for, don’t want, or aren’t good enough. |

I think Bronny is under great pressure, based on who is father is.
People need to adjust their expectations and just let him develop in a manner conssistent with any other 2nd round pick....
I think once the press dies down and the seasons start, he will have a great chance in the G league... |

Bronny has said that if he has to go to the G League to play he will. He seems very self aware of who he is.

That's a good thing because the G-league will serve him well during his player development. |

If he was truly self aware, he wouldn't refer to his play as a slump. He's literally not a good shooter. |
