He's shorter than his little sister 🎉
Lol if the Lakers start looking good at any point this season. Oh it’s scripted for Lebron and his son to win a title.
They did Pippen and Shaq a solid and nobody cared. Shaq's son was not even worth a spot. At least Pippen did his thing
Welcome to the NBA bronny James !! kid will be jst fine cuz he’ll be spending most of his time in the G League anyways !! the only time we will probably see bronny get some run is when the game is a blowout !!!!
This is not a basketball decision, but rather a well organized drama.
I just want to see Bronny tell Lebron to play some damn defense 😂😂😂
Just imagine the first father and son duo to win a NBA CHAMPIONSHIP I CAN SEE IT HAPPEN
I saw that coming since last year … bron will get his way and have his baby with him … not surprised
I don't mind the pick
Finally some form of black privilege 🏆
Im a Lakers fan but i dont like the fact that LBJ is running this franchise.
Real Lakers fans left the chat time ago.
Y'all should be ashamed for keep following this BS.
Mac McClung just shaking his head.

A puppet of a franchise
It’s very sad to draft son because his father
Black nepotism I’m here for it
It’s a kool pick plus he’s a project I never expected him to play right away lakers drafted JHS last year & he in the g league so let the young kid learn & develop
Lakers fans wants championships not wannabe players like Bronny. What the hell is he going to do for the Lakers? This is not the Lakers anymore. Disgusting!
Freaking ridiculous.
God dammit Lebron Needs to leave thanks Jeanie Buss Bronni can play for the Sparks
The #lebronprivilege … shameful
He is going to have a target on his back
As usual, this is about narrative and not winning. The Lakers lose already this offseason and even though I’ve been a lakers fan since 92, all of this drama, losing and falling behind the Celtics in championships is a clear low point since I’ve been alive. Rebuilding is more respectable than this because there was the intent to win and look at the rings it led to. All of this BS doesn’t lead to a ring and it makes the Lakers look ridiculous. It’s a dumpster fire in the middle of the circus ring.
Another wasted pick. Apparently the Lakers ownership and FO totally caved in to all LeBron's demands: JJ ReDick, Bronny and a max contract. The rest of the NBA fans and GM's are laughing their @$$e$ off.
mark theres a lot of players who are 6'1" and are good
This is not a NBA player do it the right way because all of know this not the way to do things taking spots, there's more ammo for the Celtic fans to laugh at the Lakers organization ridiculous
There are better players than this kid this kid has not been the best player on no team he's ever been on and he's not NBA material and you got all these ESPN guys in these former athletes that got ties with LeBron saying all these good things he's a project man please
Lakers drafted Spawny ?
LeGM had nothing to do with this! 🤡
*2024-25 salary cap 178.655 (2nd apron) 189.486…Don't nec want this trade… They're just options (4 teams)..Lakers/Hawks/Jazz/Nets)…(1)Lakers trade Rui/Vincent and 2029 (1st)2031(1st) to the Hawks: Murray…(2)Lakers receive Nets:Cam Johnson and Jazz: Walker Kessler… (3)Jazz receive D'lo and 2030(p.s)…(4)Nets receive Jazz: Sexton and Lakers: JHS…
When are we trading him?…..JK I can't wait until Brice joins them….lol.😂
This was a political and highly unmerited pick. Lakers are now a trash organization, plain and simple. I used to be a fan but now because of their player leadership and executive leadership the Lakers are now a clown show of corruption and stupidity. I know who exactly are the architects of this corruption and stupidity. One has to ask why these individuals have the kind of power that also includes the news media? Why???
organizaion is trash now
He’s ass
Lakers drafted the biggest NEPOBABY in L.A. so I'm just gonna say it now
"Maybe Next Year"
BREAKING NEWS: LA Lakers are now run by 3 families
Buss Family
Rambis Family
James Family
Head of Operations: Klutch Sports
LeBron and pay cut don't mix like oil and water are is it family and business whatever 😂😂 that will never happen lmao
Smart move. Low risk, high reward. We get to keep Lebron and klutch happy, which means we'll still get the best players in the future as well. This is strictly a business move. It's not just a move for today, but tomorrow. That's basically what we're doing, hiring JJ, now Bronny. Interesting to see what this off season will look like. Next week I predict, we'll get some woj bombs pertaining the Lakers. Lets see!
He's gonna get alot of eye balls on bronny during summer league.
He’s way too small. No way he deserves this
I think KJ will make him close to as good as Eric Bledsoe
Nepotism,narcissism will lead us nowhere
Bryce might be the best James in the family then he’s 6”6 😮
Lakers officially owned by Lebron. Made them draft his kid who is never going to be a legitimate NBA player. This is further proof that they don't care about winning as they lack any chance of a title with Lebron on load management and playing no defense. The last 2 full seasons proved it was time to change course….Now with Davis approaching 32 and De'angelo approaching 29 the Lakers are lacking any infusion of youth. Thank God HGH and steroid testing is weak in the NBA. Lebron has not won a title played in an 82 game season since the 2015-16 season. He will always have the bubble year…..
It's interesting how guys like austin reeves can be praised and exalted to starter by our fanbase and he was along with Alex Caruso a 2nd round or non pick, I mean yall literally praise these 2 MEDIOCRE dudes like GODS….and as soon as we draft Bronny yall ready to have a BONFIRE!!!. ..straight Lamb Chop behavior…
