One one hand I feel him and I can’t hate that he pulled this off. … but on the other I feel like as a father he setting his son up to fail. He should have his son in the g league to actually develop , but I think it’s ego for him to want to be the first father and son for the regular season game. I think that’s kinda selfish. Dude not good enough to naturally catch up on the nba. He should do what’s best for him. Personally after that health scare I’m telling my son he not playing period. I would be honest with him about his skillset and tell him “buddy you a millionaire, we got another play for you” .100% would not let my son touch a court again. He was averaging 6 points in college if mot less. It’s not worth it regardless of the dr saying he ok now.

Again I’m not hating. Props to Bron for making it happen for his son :whoa:

Horrible move from an egomaniac

Turned his son into a carnival attraction who will be clowned relentlessly on social media.

Bronny seems like a level headed kid and will publicly play it off but long term this will be awful for his mental health. Deep down you can tell he resents his dad for putting him in this position.

Best thing would’ve been 4 years in college, develop into a somewhat viable basketball player and maybe get a fringe g league spot

Bron wanted this for himself, not bronny

I think it's the situation is completely ridiculous + shouldn't have happened but it does kind of seem like a fair trade for Bronny.

He'll be rich off the legacy his dad built, so no big deal to go along with the father son reality show.

Plus Bron is probably telling Bronny that the haters gotta wake up and go to their day job the next day.

I personally wouldn't do this to my kids though.

Is being the "first player to play with his son in the league" worth what the ridicule his son has to face? :jbhmm:

I can't imagine any good parent would want this for someone they love, right? I could be wrong tho

Fathers, tap in and tell me what you think







But.....Bron got his son in the league. Jordan couldn't do that.

Bron >>> Jordan. Lmao jk

Very selfish move and I wonder how it will effect Bronny long term. It can't feel good to already know you don't belong in the league and to see people clown you after every game. Bronny doesn't even have a real feel of the game let alone something he even specializes in.

If my child had a heart scare, i'd be hesitant to allow them to play any sports. thats 1 thing
but if he was going to play sports, i would focus on making the best decision for his career and not my legacy.
His son would've been better off playing more years at college developing his game. He's gonna be 1 and done in the nba and never get a second chance.

:heh: I can’t believe the nonsense I’m reading in this thread. Since Bronny was a kid he wanted to play in the NBA and LeBron made that happen. There’s no development that college can do that NBA doesn’t excel at.

You guys saying people are making fun of him like Bronny is staying up all night worried what nikkas from Hater Central and the Coli are thinking.

Bronny has a career, his own money and uses his spare time playing Call of Duty . He will be fine

For the last time, the NBA doesn't develop undersized guards. He isn't going to become a better ball handler, learn how to run an offense... Those guys need to come to the NBA skilled then fit in where they can. Bronny is not a 6'6+ freak athlete that can lean on his measurables while he develops his game. There's never been a 6'1 project player for a reason :mjlol:
