If Bronny James was Marvin Harrison Jr. or Shaduer, people would respect it more

Bronny is a 10 day contract type of player, not a draft pick

Limited time on the court in college and just came off a life/death situation

Kid needs two more years in college

Jerry Buss and Jerry West would told lebron hell no we trying to win now

Unfortunately Jeanie and the kids are more into keeping the limelight rather positive or negative on the lakers and rob Pelinka can’t do shyt and only card he has is keeping lebron on the team and lebron knows it

No you didn't. You moved the goalposts and then started to prove your own point which doesnt make sense. There is no logical link between people saying Giannis had promise and Thanasis being drafted because of his brother.


At the time of Knicks - another team - taking Thanasis, his brother just finished rookie season and was averaging under 10ppg.


At the time of Lakers picking Bronny LeBron is one of the most famous athletes let alone ball players in the world. And also playing for Lakers. Also Rich Paul had to cos play Joe Pesci and threaten other teams to not take Bronny.


You're stupid for even trying to argue this bird brain shyt.

A guy with promise who worked just a year in corporate after graduating college doesn't even get to practice nepotism. No one cares what he thinks. No one is accommodating or appeasing him. Especially on another company.

Same here.

Thanasis wasn't a product of nepotism. Bronny was.

I never argued nepotism got Thanasis a job.
All I said was Thanasis IS a product of nepotism which is true. TODAY,RIGHT NOW,Thanasis is a product of Nepotism. I didnt move the goal post at all. When people told me he was drafted not due to Giannis, I assumed he got drafted before Giannis and I just didnt know. But turns out that was actually not the case. Which made their ststement false. Thanasis in fact COULD have been drafted based on Giannis pedigree.


You just dont understand how scouting works. Yall keep going to Giannis stats,rather than talking about what he was showing in terms of raw ability and potential based on his god given genetics. So obviously a scout can see that,and suddenly Thanasis looks like a better prospect/project. But originally i was only talking about Thanasis RIGHT NOW. Yall ran in to tell me how Thanais was completely drafted on his own merit. Arguably cap,but inconsequential since I was talking about right now.


Are you idiots to dumb to see that Bronny COULD have also been drafted based on Brons genetics and pedigree as well. PLUS he got drafted due to nepotism? Sadly if its not right in front of your face yall cant see it. Lebron is 6'8 260,yet yall think scouts dont consider if Bronny COULD get there:mjlol:


Bronny is Thanasis right now,and arguably Thanasis when he was drafted. If Thanasis could arguably be drafted based on what Giannis was showing. Why is drafting Bronny crazy when you look at Brons genetics and what he has done:gucci:?

Its pedigree and nepotism rolled into one. Bronny hasnt proven to be a flop like Thanasis yet though. So yall look crazy defending Thanasis while shytting on Bronny.

People just wanna talk Bron non-stop.
There's bigger news stories going on with players on the Sixers, Knicks, Nuggets, OKC, and Minnesota

Klutch and Lebron probably on the phone with the 2K creators trying to get Bronny a 89 rating

The fact that some among us can look at Black people practicing nepotism in a child’s game where old wealthy white men make the lion’s share of the billions made and take that as real progress is a huge indictment on how misplaced priorities have become in the community. What real power is being displayed here? That a cash cow has the ability to create a lucrative situation out of his child joining him?

What of the political situation when it comes to Black folks? Who’s the LeBron or Kobe of that field? Or in economics? Or some other field of extreme importance? And how many of those potential LeBrons of those fields are actually actively working with Black peoples best interests at heart.

Put this shyt in the proper context it should be put in. A feel good story being sold by people that need more things to sell to an increasingly underpaid and overworked society as a means of distracting them from their condition.

So you basically agree,but just lack the ability to read.

"So acting like he got it all off purely the grind is kindve false. Giannis is literally being called a rookie sensation here. Which means Thanasis couldve easily been drafted off "pedigree" like many players are. So do I have a real issue with drafting the son of the arguable goat(to some people,not me) based on pedigree?"


"Ive proven my point already. Thanasis is in the league right now because of his brother. And arguably got drafted because of his brother."


Now this is you humbly agreeing:respect:


"Nepotism isn't people seeing that you have a talented brother & hoping you have the same talent. "


No shyt,thats called scouting. But Giannis could technically still be the reason Thanasis was drafted. Because scouts were hoping he had the same talent as his brother. So acting like he earned his way in completely on his own merit isnt neccesssrily the truth. He couldve been drafted due to pedigree.




"Now, you can arguing that Giannis is CURRENTLY in his current position as one of the greatest players ever is keeping his brother in the league, fine, "


Arguably:mjlol:? So is this not nepotism? For those who need the definition

"Nepotism is the act of granting an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives or friends in an occupation or field. "





So basically Thanasis RIGHT NOW is benefitting from nepotism just like Bronny is. And according to YOU,good scouting and common sense

"That's actually common sense to assume that 2 people with the same parents & background would share some of the same talent"-The Amerikkkan Idol


So assuming shared parents might grant two siblings the same talent is common sense. But assuming the son of one of the greatest basketball players of all time,could have some of the same talent, Or could hit a growth spurt because his FATHER won the genetic lottery is not common sense? Thats greater common sense than what you said was common sense:mjlol:
You have got to be the dumbest person living.

Somebody HOPING you are talented because your brother is, IS NOT NEPOTISM.

Somebody in your family PULLING STRINGS to get you a job is nepotism.

LeBron LITERALLY strong-armed The Lakers into taking his son, whether they admit it or not.

Thanassis made it ON HIS OWN MERIT.

Giannis didn't "arguably get him drafted". HE DIDN'T

The Knicks saw a freakish athlete with tons of accolades in Europe, who just so happened to have a brother who was, not a star, but a PROSPECT, who MIGHT become something LATER

Why the hell would the New York Knicks listen to fukking Giannis, who doesn't even play for them?:what:

Who averaged 7PPG?:what:

My nikka, don't procreate:stopitslime:

Guess i was actually right about you not being able to read:mjlol:


You literally just said

"Nepotism isn't people seeing that you have a talented brother & hoping you have the same talent.

That's actually common sense to assume that 2 people with the same parents & background would share some of the same talent"


Your acknowledging that Thanasis may have gotten drafted due to Giannis. I never once said he was drafted because Giannis told the Knicks to. Never said it becauase it doesnt make sense:gucci:. I CLEARLY said Thanasis was arguably drafted based on Giannis pedigree, and what he showed scouts in his rookie season with the Bucks. You agreed and now are trying to retract your statement.


Im just going to stop here,Ive discovered you may be slow. I literally cant break it down any simpler than I already did. Youve agreed with me multiple times already anyway:mjlol:#CaseClosed
