If you're son/daughter is a athlete or entertainer and they grew up rich & connected...you're a failure.

The Truth
:childplease: Why do ppl always say this like he wasn’t ass before that happened?
I’m saying it because it’s true, regardless if you think he was ass or not the fact remains that it happened.

Just like the other fact is that no one in that Lakers organization got as much pull as Lebron. He would’ve had a say or ok in any final draft decision like normal

So he puts whoever's ass in the seat he see’s fit. This isnt a spot open for the entire league, this was for the Lakers and their bottom draft pick. Theres no telling what he will become, so why not. Plenty of other “projects” going on in the league

But then again Archie manning put both his sons Peyton and Eli in the nfl and dale curry put Steph curry in the nba.
Little diff but at same time kinda agree that everyone uses their resources to get their kids ahead in whatever business they in. Dont matter if its nba playing. Or wrestling. Or coaching. Lawyering. Farming. Construction. Doctors. They all do that.

But Archie manning wasnt multi generational rich and both boys eclipsed him. He could have gotten them jobs as lawyers im sure but they had the genetics and talent and were the real deal and an nfl qb salary >>> a reg lawyer. Bronny will not eclipse his father nor has that ability to come close so thats where i draw that line.

Hes kinda doing a disservice to his son but im not mad at it or anything. I guess its a way to keep an eye and guide him somewhat. Idk lebrons business but he seems well rounded enough to do that.

The ceiling isn’t really high for him. I didn’t “think” he was ass, he factually was. He only scored 2.2 per game.

And yea. You’re right. He does have the most pull in the organization. But look at where that got them now. I haven’t been watching ESPN lately, but I’m pretty sure they’re talking about how much helps he needs. How you draft trash college player, and hire a fückin podcaster to be a HEAD coach and then talk about you need help.

There person they picked Bronny over could’ve been helping them w/ bench depth.

Bc that “billionaires son” is taking the spot and $$ from someone more deserving/better bc of HIS FATHERS accomplishments. The LeBron/bronny discussion is not a hard 1 to understand, he’s not an NBA player. G-League guy at best
He’s still taking a spot from someone, it doesn’t matter whatever year u wanna say. He’s taking a spot from someone bc he is Lebrons son. Thats the problem

Funny thing is that his younger son Bryce is a better prospect but u don’t hear sh!t about him bc of the “LeBron/bronny laker” story (and he’s probably better for it)
Anyone who is Black dapping these posts is a cotdamn c00n.

To address your argument -

The spot that Bronny is taking up is rather inconsequetinal because it's a revolving door.

The player who'd be in his place would not be getting gametime in the NBA, and they'd likely be at the start, in the middle or at the end of their path as a journeyman. Every single squad has dead-end spots that are used purely for depth or add-ons for salary cap purposes, where the players allocated to them aren't going to make their mark in the league. If they're good enough to make their mark, there's another 29 teams they can get an opportunity with.

Bronny is on an infinite list of players throughout NBA history who've benefited from nepotism, management partisanship, veterancy or any other type of favoritism that was the ruling factor behind why they got a roster spot. That's before we take into account all the players who were overlooked because of some prejudicial treatment, whose spots went to players who were less worthy.

You wanna go back in the time and address when they had a quota on how many Black players were allowed in the league (where players were taking up spots purely on the basis that they were white), or do you wanna fixate on this ONE example where a Black man is getting a spot that otherwise would be taken up by someone who probably wouldn't even be on the roster this time next season?

Nah, I didn't think so.

You’re absolutely right unless they are an undeniable talent. Bronny shouldn’t be in the NBA and 5 milly is nothing to the James family. As much of a bumbling fukking racist idiot that Trump is, his kids are college educated and successful. Puff is worth hundreds of millions and what are his kids doing? TI? Russell Simmons? Dre? Blue Ivy will be on a stage struggle singing and dancing too, I see the writing on the wall.

If I’m wealthy, my kids are going to an Ivy League school and we are going to use these connections to take sh*t to the next level. We can’t just be generation after generation of jesters.

The Coli is about to crucify you though..,


A family of jesters making more than 100M+ a year

Meanwhile your family playing chess with cacs on their table and chessboard because you want to look respectable

The point is to gain wealth to build independence, not look respectable to white men lmao

Y'all lawst as hell

How are you a failure if you are doing what you dreamed of doing and are a top 1% earner doing it? That's literally a win win. Meanwhile I'm working a job making 60k a year and hate it half the time. I would never hate on someone actually being able to do something they enjoy and make good money at it.
