Jalen Brunson’s dad got him payed in NY, Woj ain’t wrong
yepitsdevon
I mean, Woj isn’t wrong.

There’s nepotism in the Knicks currently 🤣🤣🤣

I mean, look no further than our front office lol
PG_993s
At the end of the day it’s the 55th pick. It would be pretty cool to see a father and son play on the same team.

The World* is full of nepotism

lol woj trying hard to gain sources with klutch so he can own shams.

Woj knows that shams is the lakers go to guy.. he trying to fit in again

No lies. This is just how the world works in general. Literally, not what you know, but who you know.

Yo watch Celtics take him

If you’re upset at a fucking 55th pick you’re just unhappy and want something to be mad at

Stephen Curry, KlayThompson, Jalen Brunson, Brent Berry, Sabonis, Kobe Bryant, Tim Hardaway, Jerami Grant, Gary Payton II, Larry Nance Jr, Cole Anthony, Al Horford, Andrew Wiggins, Luke Walton
There are A LOT more that didn’t work out, this is all hype because it’s Lebron’s kid. Remember when we drafted Shaq’s kid?
FearlessInflation92
Giannis brother too

Thanks Woj but still not forgiven for the Hurley bullshit
zx10rpsycho
Well, Lakers take Bronny at #55.
SagalaUso
Just let Bronny alley op his dad once and we’re good.
goatnxtinline
sure, nepotism that he was steered towards being drafted by the lakers. But I don’t give a damn who his father is, if he can’t play then he can’t play and no one is drafting him.
Dagenius1
I really didn’t expect him to say this is the only story here.
roshanpr
Doc Rivers knows

It’s the 55th, who cares.

Woj – I was unfamiliar with your game

I always tell my Dad it’s his fault I’m not in the NBA

Damn woj, just calling me out like that

It’s rampant in any industry when big money is involved. We all have that one trust fund friend that didn’t work for shit.
cheaseedz
I just wanna say Bronny at the combine looked fantastic, if he worked out for each of those teams, he maybe have gone early in the 2nd round. But he genuinely didn’t want to go to those other teams and be a potential development piece.
Corona2789
I don’t really care that we threw away a late second. I think it’s more so a combo of LeBron and Paul being so controlling of the front office in an era where the front office has been brutally incompetent, then things becomes obnoxious. From the Westbrook trade, failing to get Hurley, to the Reddick hire, lebrons passive aggressive behavior off the court and now drafting Bronny after telling teams if they draft him he’s going to Australia lol. If none of that other shit happens or the lakers are winning nobody cares about this.

Nepotism is part of corporate America, nba no different. It is what it is.
et3rnul
I don’t care as a Laker fan that we drafted him. I don’t know who else we could’ve drafted. I really hope he succeeds and has a solid NBA career and it is very cool to see him get to play with his dad.
Mentally I hope he is ok. Kid literally almost died, has sky high expectation since he started playing, and out the gate everyone is questioning whether he deserves to be there.
3nnui
Fuck Woj, Laker Nation will always hate you.
YouHadMeAtTaco
Most egregious example, Klejin Blevins.
Kuado
Ok. Maybe. But Bronny sucks. Tim Hardaway Jr was actually touted and is leaps and bounds better than Bronny. Stop caressing Brons nuts Woj
augustcero
i mean no disrespect but who else we gonna pick at 55? this class is quite ass already so no regrets
zgobst
When I saw the picture here, I questioned if Thomas Bryant and Mamba were related for a second
ToraLoco
it’s the 55th pick lol, it’s not like they’re giving up some stars. Who knows, what if Bronny becomes a Derrick White type of player? Can you guys even name a 55th pick player?
So-_-It-_-Goes
He isn’t wrong but the national coverage is getting to be a bit much
shortyman920
Luka’s brother got a front office position when he was drafted even though he has zero qualifications.
Thanasis
Knicks and Leon Rose
Austin rivers
NBA is a business and nepotism runs rampant in any industry
Porzingas has his brother on the payroll as his personal trainer even though there were far better trainers available
Knicks signed JR Smith’s brother to their Gleague team
Half the list I just rolled off the top of my head are Knicks related, but anyway there’s nepotism all over. Media is just playing up this one
