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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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