IT'S LIKELY: Bronny James is 18 and short (about 6'1/2" barefoot) so his size+skills won't make him a real nba player

What a weird thread.

[ItsDanger]

Lebron is in mid 30s, plenty of time to try again.

[SHAQ32]

Where are the moderators? This is clearly a troll thread. Even Stevie could see it (although there are claims that he has vision).

[ForeverTFC]

Pretty sure he doesnt need the NBA to live a happy life

This is actually an issue among children of extremely successful people. They feel there is nothing they can do to live up to their father/mother's success and it leads to major depression.

Suicide is prevalent in certain areas of Silicon Valley for example among the tech founder circles because the kids just don't see how they'd ever pass their parents and though the parents aren't pressuring them, they still feel it's what they have to do.

Would him not making it make people feel a bit better? Do we add it to the ledger of things lebron didnt accomplish?

Do we do comparisons between MJs kid and LeBrons? Has it become THAT serious?

[LAL1947]

Still got time to get him on an HGH regimen

Dwyane Wade can provide a trustworthy hook up!

[Dark Faze]

He's got no chance at one and done, but he's still got enough potential to be able to improve enough through his college career to get drafted.

It all depends on what the Illuminati wants.

6'3" is short? You haven't met Danny DeVito then

[GOATTatum]

Bronny is 6'3", only 17, and a multi-millionare. Dude already won at life.

This got me wondering, has there ever been a great NBA player whose father was also a great NBA player?

The closest I can come up with is Klay and Mychal Thompson, but Mychal wasn't considered an NBA great, and Klay himself is only borderline great.

Anyone?

The Sabonis duo might be the closest as of now, though Arvydas didn't do a ton in the NBA obviously.

Whoa I forgot about Domantas. Yeah I think that might be the closest.

Agreed that Sabonis is the closest.

As mentioned, Thompsons are pretty good. Both have multiple championships. Klay obviously was better individually with multiple all-stars and honors, but Mychael had a decent peak at a 20/11 player.

The Tim Hardaways aren't bad. Senior was a multi-time all-star that many believe belongs in the HOF. His son is a high scoring role player.

If you combine all 3 of Rick Barry sons into one player maybe then you can count that, lol.

Wasn't a bad coach for the Monstars.

[Pinkyring]

U gotta be a loser to be following elementary school kids in sports.

[wade44]

Forget about height what about basketball skills. People have been saying he won't be a nba caliber guy for years

[gavran]

I went from 5'7" to 6'4" at age 17.

Are you a real NBA player though? Because if not, you are proving the OP right.

[giberish]

Savannah is short. Should have created a super baby with a tall athlete.

On a serious note, Bronny I’m sure is going to be just fine.

China would never have allowed this.

Wade measured 6-3.75 barefoot

I always wondered how many players have a bit of Wilt Chamberlains DNA in them.

[TheBoi10]

Everyone is different. I grew maybe another inch after the age of 14 and was done growing by the age of 16. My brother hit his growth spurt at 16 and wasn't done growing until 18.

Same, I was 6'2 at 14 when I enter highschool and grew an 1.75 inches since.
