(Lock Thread)The LeBron James- 23-24 NBA Playoffs & Off-Season Thread -(NO PERSONAL ATTACKS & BAITING)

Bronny James is the worst and the most shameful Draft pick in the NBA history. The only reason he was drafted is Lebron James and that wanna be mafioso Rich Paul. They took the joy away from some players who really work hard and have some talent and who deserved to be drafted. This is another reason why Jordan is above Lebron, he would have never done crap like this with his talent less son's. This just another black eye for the NBA.

Jordan's sons couldn't even sniff professional basketball lol...

That said, not sure what MJ has to do with any of this, but great job making it about him!

The only reason Bronny is sniffing anything is because of his father, that's the point. Bronny have zero basketball talent. Look at his stats, he just sucks. He's undersized, bad shooter from everywhere,he doesn't belong anywhere near to NBA.

Lol, calm down with the fake moral outrage. Did Bronny not "really work hard" and not "wait for this moment all of his life"?

Is there some nepotism involved here? Duh. But it's very rare for guys drafted that late to be NBA level players anyway.

Also the idea that Jordan, the guy who for example hired yes man Doug Collins on the Wizards to enable him to chuck for two seasons, would be above nepotism, is fing hilarious.

I assume you have been just as outspoken about Giannis' brother(s)?

Some Whole machinery was behind James jr. It doesn't matter, some players went undrafted who deserved their name being called on the draft day.

Giannis brother was signed as the free agent after he played some professional basketball in Europe. These are two different situations. At least Thanasis have some talent, Bronny has none, he's a bum.

But Thanasis would never be in the NBA if it wasn't for his brother. We both know that.

[letskissbro]

and that wanna be mafioso Rich Paul.

Would you be saying this if Rich Paul was white?

Can I personally attack Lebum and his nepo kid? Bottom line we know who runs the Lakers. Lebron and no one else. It doesn't matter what "coach" you bring in. He isn't running the team. . The inmates are now running the asylum. Thats not good if you want chips. If I'm AD I'm on the first plane out of there. Its completely dysfunctional

Pathetic excuse for a basketball "Organization". Thats not the way anyone should run a business or team. I'm sure Bronny is a nice kid but he has no business playing D1 ball most likely, much less the NBA. I can't run NASA. I know I can't. So I wouldn't even try even if someone offered me the job or daddy worked there to hook me up. You aren't qualified, you aren't qualified. Now you're playing around with business.

Bronny should have made his own way in the world. Not rely on daddy. Now it will forever be tied to him. Its just bad for everyone involved. The Coach, the GM, the front office, the players,

Awesome moment for a kid who suffered cardiac arrest not too long ago. Hope we get a cool father/son on court moment at some point like an oop.

With pops on the way out in the near future, he’ll obviously has a lot of work to do to maintain a spot (versus Thanasis who has enjoyed prolonged nepotism benefits to stay in the league). Would not be surprised if he fails to do so, but cool to see this regardless. Shame people’s hate for LeBron extends to them hating on the kid but can’t say I’m surprised lol

So you’re saying LeBron is more respected than MJ because he was able to do what MJ didn’t? WOW!

An underrated aspect of James’s GOAThood is the absolute rage and anger he is able to inspire.

Also,

The memes are writing themselves. “Another reason Jordan is above/is the goat over LeBron…”

[penbeast0]

Thanos is who came to mind for me as well. We will see if Bronny ever develops but there are few businesses without any nepotism.

And, children of former NBA players have outperformed their draft rank historically, fwiw.

It's a 55th pick JFC

The picks after Bronny were draft and stash guys. Let’s relax on what the 55th pick even means. Nepotism is a thing when someone less deserving makes it somewhere because of connections but I don’t think any kid worth his salt was going undrafted because of Bronny.

[therealbig3]

If Bronny has NBA-level stuff at some point, he’ll make it.

If not, he won’t. This stuff works itself out, and he won’t be any different than the plethora of ball players that fizzled out of the NBA. Doesn’t matter that LeBron is his dad…if he can’t play, he won’t.

Only thing I can see happening is LeBron forcing the Lakers to give him minutes even when he doesn’t deserve them, or influencing how he gets coached, which would be very no bueno.

I'm just glad you have an outlet here.

[trickshot]

At the end of the day Lakers can't tell Lebron no because they have zero confidence they won't botch what comes next. The handling of the Ham thing especially botched the season and put them in appease-Lebron mode

[Ian Scuffling]

Once again, I'd like to say thank you to RealGM for the ignore function. Two of the biggest trolls I can think of came along to vomit all over this thread and I didn't have to read it. Now, if there was only a function to delete their quotes by other people? That was some stupid and angry stuff. Damn. As for the Lakers drafting Bronny, well I think it's officially over. The idea of Lebron playing to win a championship. And no, not for the feigned hysteria that the tweedles expressed. Bronny at 55? Why not, I guess. It just "seems" that cements Lebron to this really badly run franchise for the duration. Meh, maybe if Bronny just doesn't deserve it, they actually do cut him? I guess I don't have that faith.
