Don't know much about Lebron's family life but if Bronny ever lived in Ohio he probably barely remembers it. Pretty sure he's spent at least the last decade in southern California.

No need for Lebron to join his son’s team, he can pick him in the all-star game /s

If your theory is true, there are likely to be at least 10-12 traded 1sts by the time the draft rolls around (there are already 7). Lots of weak teams will be in the mid and late 1st.


then to cover that,,,,i dont think bronny will be drafted by a contender, wherever they might be in the draft

First person in his family to go to college, I can relate. it’s so surreal when you put in context what the family went through for generations to get there.

Bronny might never be as good as his dad, but he’s already miles ahead of him intellectually and emotionally, which does matter in athletic success

He lived in Ohio during Bron's 2nd cavs stint (14-18). He played middle school ball there. Pretty sure he knows plenty about Ohio. Not surprised he wants to stay in So Cal though.

Can this be true? LeBron played 4 years in Cleveland just recently. He has a giant mansion there where I believed they have lived a decent portion of their lives in.

He’s actually already labeled as a lottery talent due to a few factors:

- This draft class in particular, is VERY weak.
- Bronny is currently labeled as a “Marcus Smart” type of talent. Which means very good 3 and D role player at the point guard position.
- 3 and D elite role players, are VERY valuable in the NBA. Especially one as a point guard? You are definitely gonna get looked at no matter who you are.

I know people like to dunk on Bronny and say he's only in this position due to who his dad is, but the kid's got talent. He can be a NBA player, but he won't be a star. He'll be a role player.

Nah, moved to Cali as a 14yo.

Yeah, at first even as a LeBron fan I was thinking that MAYBE his hype as a prospect is really LeBron-centred, but then I saw some legit footage/scout analysis and he's really an interesting prospect. I don't know if he is really a lottery-level talent or not since teams value regularly upside more than actual skillset, but I would be really surprised if he's not selected in a first round with his shooting mechanics/defense/passing.

And since he's mid-first round draft pick talent - it's getting really interesting for LeBron's future considering that several teams may be inclined to select Bronny just to foster their chances to hire the most popular basketball athlete on earth, well aware that one of the ultimate goals of LBJ is to play with his son.

Oh ****…the plot thickens.

A ploy to hook up Bronny with Nat Bryant. They have a son and 19 years from now, that kid will have the genetics of his grandfathers, Lebron James, and Kobe Bryant.

That kid, would be a monster. It would be game over for the NBA as we know it. THE WORLD IS NOT READY FOR THIS!

KoBronte James will get so much hate coming out of the womb. The media will be starting the pressure before he even opens his eyes!

The doesn’t feel the need to justify his mastakes on the court, he’s way more articulate, and doesn’t get as frustrated as young lebron, and is able to answer questions without sounding like he never went to college. Not basketball iq.

i'd like to see a father and son combo in the court. Even if you hate LeBron James, that is something special, right?

Uhm, even if true, looks like a difference between being raised by a single mother vs being raised by a multi-millionaire/billionaire.

I used to think so too, but unless he's a legit lottery-level talent, I doubt it. A team isn't going to draft LeBron's son as leverage to sign LeBron.
LeBron put Bronny as the number 1 person he wants to play with, to replicate the Ken Griffey Jr/Sr on the Mariners.

LeBron got drafted in 2003 but he's essentially gonna be drafted again when Bronny comes outta college.
