    How can you hate this kid, all pure emotions on him… especially those who call themselves ‘Lakers Fan’ and hating on this kid, GTFO!

    If you work for sth like 10 years (if not more) and get it, I bet you’ll have the same feeling.

    He’s ready to get to work with LeGoat

    Obviously, Bronny has the privilege that LeBron and Klutch have in working closely with the Lakers. But I think he really wants to prove himself. Maybe he’s got that chip on his shoulder; he doesn’t just want to be LeBron’s son. He will compete for his minutes and prove everyone wrong.

    damn…it’s not “cool” to cry in front of everybody like that. Like, I believe he’s hyped and not feeling entitled to this

    Kid almost died, im sure he is appreciating every moment of this.

    Mama James crying tears of joy for it not being Cleveland.

    is he self-aware enough to know that the “best” moment of his career is entirely due to who his dad and agent are? his reaction says so

    People trying to discredit this achievement as nepotism are weird. He didn’t ask for any of the bullshit, he just kept his head down and worked. Took the opportunities as they came just like anyone else with ambition.

    If we’re being real the only influence he had was where he wanted to play and that’s where it stopped. You certified stupid if you think any team would sign him if he didn’t know how to play, I don’t care who his father is.

    Jokes aside, this guy almost died a year ago. Going from there to being drafted by the Lakers and being able to play alongside his father must have been an emotional roller coaster. I’m rooting for him to succeed.

  13. That dudes on comment on twitter has me in tears!

    “Lebron is smashing his teammates mom.”

    he looks like he has some character, and he knows he needs to prove himself and all this privilege talk will fire him up. Let’s just hope he has enough game.

    I just hope he can become a solid contributor in his career. Happy for this kid!

    Look, you can call me delusional, but I really think Bronny will be a good player. He had a rough college career, but that can change with a change of environment and more practice, which we know he ain’t afraid of.

    He has the tools and the build. Despite his height, Bronny is has a strong base of a body, wingspan that extend 6 inches beyond his height, great BBIQ, can go left can go right, and his shooting form actually looks good.

    I really think his problem in college was nerves. But that’s something that goes away with time the more you play and depends on your support system.

    Besides, it was only 25 games in his first year. Other players like our new fam in Dalton Knecht struggled in his first year. Max Christie had a good shooting form but struggled to make shots efficiently in his first and only college year.

    And that’s why I can’t really relate with those of you who think the pick was a waste or that he don’t belong. I am excited. I think Bronny is going to blossom in the NBA given some time.

    (Cavs fan, who loves Lebron here)

    I’m happy for him – I hope he becomes a solid basketball player. He seems like a good kid and gets a ton of hate because of the nepotism around his dad. He was commonly a top 25 HS prospect and then underperformed in NCAA after nearly having a heart failure. Those types of guys often get drafted. Cam Reddish had a sick HS mixtape, underperformed in NCAA, and then got drafted in the first round. Cam was definitely better in NCAA but he also went 10th overall and didn’t have a health scare.

    The 55th pick in the draft is a lottery ticket anyway. Who’s to say Bronny doesn’t have a late growth spurt and get up to 6’5 or 6’6.

    Hell yeah! Let’s do this! Wishing the best for Bronny.

  19. Richardduh

    Who has better job security, Bronny or Thanasis?

  20. EE-420-Lige

    Wish him well kid came back from a heart attack ❤️

    This is so cool to see no matter what anyone else thinks. No doubt Bronny’s eager to contribute. I just know the first time they share the court together will be historic

  22. Don_Thuglayo

    I am all for it makes LeBron happy and we get to see if bronny is willing to put in the work he’s seen his dad put in for 20 years

  23. robreeeezy

    Regular people are out here sleeping in on weekends. Bronny is the son of a billionaire. He could do the same, but instead he’s in the gym early mornings trying to be as good as his dad. Made it to USC. Made it to the greatest franchise in the NBA. Put some respect on his name.

  24. m_abdeen

    Prove the haters wrong Bronny, gotta be a solid 2 way player

  25. Ismael0323

    Aight…now that he is with the Lakeshow, all I will do is support Bronny! Hope he proves the haters wrong!

  26. radicalbulldog

    Bryce gonna be a lottery pick unfortunately. But this is cool, I can’t hate it. Watching Bron pass to him for a three for the first time will be must see TV.

  27. From their perspective, gotta be dope to play with your dad/kid. Bronny may be too young to appreciate that; Bron can and one day Bronny can too.

  28. elboogie7

    Bro scored like 2 PPG in college. I’m sure he’s got some mixed feelings about this, how could he not.

  29. Cautious-Bother9931

    He sure is one spoiled kid. Holy shit.

  30. battle_franky

    Great video. Shows that he really want this despite whatever around happen around him 

  31. islandfay

    I’m happy that we drafted Bronny. He is going to put in work. I can’t wait for summer league ‼️

    Imagine banner 18 with father and son celebration as teammates, thats just amazing. Its farfetch by the way the team is constructed right now, but i would be really happy if they really do.
