Why isn’t there a thread on Bronny?

Does a team that’s in position to draft him see him more as a trade asset if the idea is that he could help bring Lebron to the team that hold his draft rights?

Realistically, could you see a team doing that?

Unsure if a team would value the package of a then 39 year-old James and Bronny who projects to be a slightly out of lottery guy that much.

it's funny how much hate Bronny gets and how much people claim if he wasn't Lebron's son he would be a middling prospect yet many don't say that about Bryce who actually fits that description better. Bryce is not an NBA caliber prospect. He's actually the one getting by due to his Dad's name. He's just so unnatural and slow-footed. His shot looks wonky and he's a slow-twitch athlete with average size and length.

Interesting - everyone says the opposite

Agreed, Bryce doesn't have his dad's athleticism, nor the it factor of Bronny. I think he's just being overrated because guys want to be the first ones to say they thought he would be good.

Scary and tough break. I'm assuming his playing career is over. I can't see any parent supporting their child to continue playing with the threat of death looming over them. Bronny is set for life and he'll just need to pivot and apply all that hard work to something else he finds fulfilling.

He's 18 now isn't he?

i imagine it's his choice with or without his parents' support.

Huh? Keyontae Johnson had something similar as is still playing. Might want to take a breath before ending someone's career.

Keyontae's dad isn't a billionaire

yes, it matters...just not worth it for Bronny to take that risk, and it's crappy to say this now but not like he was very good. he should take care of himself and he can find many other ways to carry on his father's legacy.

agree with you. 100% on all counts - 1) that it absolutely makes a difference that his dad is a billionaire and 2) because of that fact that he isn't very good, he should find something else to do.

Bronny may not agree. only he can decide whether or not it's worth the risk.

MJs sons are degenerates. Bronny doesn’t want to follow in that path…opening a failed shoe store isn’t going to advance his cause

so his options are either risk dying on a basketball court so he can be a 9th man on an NBA roster or be a degenerate?

Bronny's enrolled at USC, he should just get a legit economics or business degree from there and help his dad build his empire post NBA...

heart aint a joke, an 18 yr old is not supposed to have a cardiac arrest...literally 0 reason he should play bball at a high level again. he can find many other passions in life especially with the resources he has at his disposal.

Before declaring his career over you should all watch this video, it explains the situation very well. Whether he has to hang it up depends entirely on the reason he suffered cardiac arrest in the first place:

Watch on YouTube

He could have the episode again doing anything. If he’s cleared he should play. There’s inherent risk in anything in life

. We're still on that huh? This place never ceases to amaze me. It sucks that he may never be able to prove haters wrong and they'll chirp this dumb narrative in perpetuity now :noway:

I'm guessing that the heart stuff is PED related, so all he has to do is go off that **** and get back at it.

I doubt he's on PED's. He's got good genetics (obviously), not really that big given his frame. This is not some 250 pound tren monster.

His dad is a notorious PED user. I'm positive he's on a **** ton of stuff. Not everyone on PEDs is jacked.

He's 6'3" 180, if he's on PED's they've expired :lol:
