Why isn’t there a thread on Bronny?

The idea that these guys all come from the hood is absolutely laughable and we all know it. Go ahead and post your meme again bro I don't give a ****.

not as laughable as you thinking Robert Dillingham from Hickory North Carolina had access to the same resources growing up as Bronny **** James. :lol:

and yes, 99% of your posts deserve the same response:

I have talked to all parties involved multiple times. Yall need to knock it off and focus on talking about the prospects. My patience is starting to wear thin.

as per usual with most internet arguments the truth is somewhere in the middle. clyde is probably overstating bronny's advantage a bit, but being raised by lebron and being filthy rich, there is definitely AN advantage. how significant that is, is hard to know.

Obviously he has advantages, but the problem with his argument was saying that everyone else has to grow up in the hood.

Bronny has had world-class training, diet regimens and has been around professional basketball since birth, it's an obvious advantage and a big one, that's just a fact, whether you guy admit it or not

any notion that Justin Edwards from Philly or Rob Dillingham from Hickory or Ron Holland from Duncanville had similar access to resources as Bronny is just pure comedy.

the closer Bronny gets to the NBA to smaller these advantages get for him. will it matter in terms of his professional outlook? guess we'll see, but this is pretty indisputable stuff.

No one is saying that. We’re saying that these guys don’t grow up in the **** hood.

who the **** cares? the entire point was that most of these guys never had the resources that Bronny's had. you're just harping on the word 'hood' because you don't much else to contribute here.

My contribution is keeping things factual around here.

Steph, Klay and many other children of former players had access to these things and not all took advantage of them and the ones that DID also put in the work on their game to improve. Bronny seems to be that way too. It would have been easy for him to coast or be selfish but he's the opposite. I don't see the silver spoon as a negative especially because of the pressure that comes along for that. One thing about Lebron you have to admire is how he's kept it together since he was 16 y/o being labeled as a future HOF. He didn't wilt under the pressure off the court like so many others. Bronny hasn't either as he has had to live in his Dad's shadow with no chance at being nearly as good yet he continues to work and build up his own resume. Full gyms and opponents geared up to stop him with hostile fans all because of the "hype" and who his Dad is. It's a lot. I don't know why people are so hard on him. I hate Lebron as much as anyone and even I can separate that from his boys. Even if Bronny ends up being between Tre Jones and Jrue Holiday as a pro, which is likely, that will be a success story in my book considering the pressure he faces. His younger brother has it so much easier than he does.

lol so mad

you wanna tell us what his stats are this season?

Also interested, because I can't find anything on them at all. Which is strange for any top prospect, but especially for the prodigal son of the prodigal son.

I also like LeBron and hope his kids do great things. I would never root against a literal child and hope he fails, y'all are projecting bad out here lmao.

Ya Ive searched pretty hard and I cant find anything at all on his actual stats. Which is weird because Sierra Canyon is one of the top schools and usually really easy to find their guys stats.

Aren’t stats pretty much pointless for high school guys?

For the most part but it would be nice to see a game log. Would be really worrying if he’s putting up single digits or low teens in big games and racking them up vs low level comp

Ya, especially for bigs. I honestly care less about the Per game stats, with guards immediately the first thing I look at is FT%. Then I also like to see the 3pt% and the volume of 3pt shots as well. Between those 3 things you usually can get a solid view on what kind of shooter they can be.

Plus when you make the McDonalds team, its usually a nice way to get a basic comparison between the guys.

Ranking and notoriety, probably their connections as well.

So we basically get highlight reels when he plays great, no numbers for any context, and nothing of any real value outside of someone saying "well he played great." How do we evne know that?

The same way I feel about measurements, if handlers aren't lining up to measure you in front of everybody, it's because they know you'll come out smaller than you're listed. If we can't find stats anywhere, it's because they probably don't paint a beautiful picture. You don't think we'd know if he were averaging a high point double double or triple double? lol come on.

So again, what do you want us to discuss? How good he looks in clipped highlights? He looks physically and skill wise like he could be an NBA player to me.
