Charles Barkley: "Bronny is not ready for the NBA"

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Shouldn't have been a McDonald's All American either. Damn shame the Hamburglar out here taking Klutch bribes, but not shocked.

Real talk...McD All-American should mean one of two things:

You play for a regular high school that's happy to win district....but you're so good that you can lead the team to a state title just off your hoopin.

Second type is the breh that looks like Tatum, Brown etc., but plays for a stacked squad yet STILL looks like the best player on the floor. The breh capable of averaging 25/10/8 but doesn't because his team doesn't need it.

Bronny Jr never had a chance to be #1 and didn't really stand out on a loaded squad.

he literally didn't have to put in the work on any level whatsoever to get where he is now.

Bronny is better than JHS and Maxwell Lewis on the damn Lakers squad lol

A PG sized player that can't dribble playing shooting guard yet not able to shoot...

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Bronny is ass, let's keep it a buck

If his pops wasn't who he is, we'd never have ever heard of this guy

 

[fifth column]

Bronny is too small imo, I doubt he’s going to develop into anything useful in the league. LeBron using him as a pawn for his “legacy” play.

 

[Bar Razor]

Are ppl really still crying about this? How is this even still a thing? Well I understand why it bothers cacs but anyone else?

I’ll try to explain it to anyone using the brain dead blackity black take.

No one has a problem with talented people benefiting from nepotism. They do have a problem with someone who is obviously only in a position because of who they’re related to getting it. No one says shyt about who Steph Curry, Klay Thompson even Austin River’s dads are because they displayed NBA level talent and obviously belonged in the league. Bronny is here solely because of who his father is and is potentially taking a roster spot from a black player without his background that deserves it. Funny I don’t hear the blackity black shyt about that though

Also at the end of the day it does Bronny a disservice because only the staunchest of Bron dikk riders and media sycophants defend it. Everyone else black or white sees it for what it is and Bronny will bear the brunt of the ridicule.

JHS’s highlight as a Laker has been a 6pt 4reb game AS A 1ST ROUND PICK.

Bronny got 1 damn start and outplayed 2 yrs of JHS

Nepotism behind the scenes (Front office, management, etc) is common, shyt it's the norm with cacs. Bron pulling strings for that kinda stuff wouldn't be a big deal IMO.

But on the field/court where it's blatant you aren't close to ready is insulting to a lot of people.

There's a point where you gotta say this shyt is ridiculous.

So like racism, it’s okay if it’s behind the scenes?

And I thought the moment was cool.

Not only that, only LeBron’s ego gets the W here, this shenanigans is not setup to help Bronny become a legit NBA player outside of the circus.

Would have been epic if it was not manufactured

It was underwhelming and forced.

I mean look at Gary Payton II … dude hustled to get a shot in the league.

He can be Payton II with hard work

Bruh, I don't give af about none of that lame bron hater/stan shyt. A black man made a power move. I'm not gonna be mad at it.

Now either position yourself to be able to do the same for your kids or be the lame nuccas crying about it. Choice is yours

Look at Shaq and Dwade as well, they knew they sons were ass and pulled some strings to get them in the G-League and let them grind it out from there
