This is silly that Lebron demands this, imagine if Wilt Chamberlain demanded that all his kids have to play for Lakers or he leaves.

Well, Otto Porter did have some interest in the Lakers in 2022.
still learning the game

Don't like The Lakers or Lebron, but the amount of hate/slander this kid gets (and yes i realize no one likes Nepo Babies) is borderline bullying at this point.

He has shown at times glimpses of being at least an NBA standard player (least defensively)

Yes perhaps he is lucky to have an NBA roster spot, but it's not as if he hadn't put in the hard work and long hours to get there.

He definitely doesn't come across to me as some entitled or spoilt prat (like many other Nepo Babies i could name)

I do have a bit of worries about his heart condition sometimes tbh.

It's not Bronny that people hate, it's his dad because 1) using his power to put his son who clearly isn't NBA caliber into the league and suffer this humiliation ritual. This isn't Giannis getting his brothers paid, this is a father doing this to his son mostly to fuel his own narcissism. And 2) it's Lebron, people simply don't like him. There's many reasons why
